A hare's breath and the quarter moon.



Still reeling from Art in Action, a busy time blessed with moments of real beauty. As well as art I saw hares in the stuble field, on the way in to the show. Also red kites, owls, a fox, and afterwards egret and heron. So, I have a list of photos so huge to share, and big thanks to give to Judy Dyble ( there is a lovely photo of her in this month's Mojo) who looked after us so well and with such grace, and to Anji who is just a very splendid woman. Also to all the volunteers at Art in Action who make the event the special thing that it is, unique. It is so good to go to a place and feel treasured as an artist rather than exploited. 
The moon shone down on the twilight tents, lit from within, on the evening of the Demonstrator's Supper, and I was glad, so glad that the beautiful glass won, though it was so hard to choose between all the things there that were just so good.
But of all the things made by man that I saw the one thing hat really took my breath away was the hare in the field of gold.

  1. I love that second photo - hare, ears perked, looking your way... It almost seems to float above the field.... mystery.

  2. It was a delight to have you staying here, the Whiz is missing her morning hello, and the blackbirds have gone off in a huff....

  3. So glad you saw hares they are my favourite animal and it is always a delight the rare times I see one. I expect you are glad to be home with your children and animals with the summer still to enjoy.

  7. OH. MY. GOODNESSgraciousme. I have just this very moment clicked who you are! How utterly wonderful that you have a blog. I missed Art in Action this year - much to my fury and frustration - but last year I came away with two glorious books, The Snow Leopard and Lord of the Forest which you signed for my two grandboys. Each boy treasure his respective book and both show it to friends with enormous pride. Thank you, thank you!

    Wonderful photograph. We see lots of hares here in North Norfolk, but I've not yet been able to get one in shot. Will keep trying...but in the meantime will revel in yours.
