Tin Heart
A tin heart nestling within a swarm of Japanese Quince (Chaenomeles) flowers.
|
|
Golden Hearts
Two gilded hearts resting in a bower of spring blossom; Primrose, Daisy, Speedwell, Honesty, Forget-me-not, and saxifrage.

Primrose © Jean Williamson
No frost worth speaking of this winter so I expect the primroses will be making an early start this year - if they can survive the endless gales and rain!

Heart Constellation © Jean Williamson
The spikey flowers of Miss Wilmot's Ghost help to create a heart constellation. Living out in the country, beyond the reach of street lights, we get to see some fabulous starry skies on clear nights.
|
|
Raindrops © Jean Williamson
Jewels of raindrops on a nasturtium leaf. Like rainbows, one of the bounties of nature and worth more than gold!

Wash Day Fantasy © Jean Williamson
Doing chores, staying at home, and dreaming of holidays.

Sea Glass © Jean Williamson
It can take 20 to 50 years for the sea to abrade glass into this lovely substance we collect as treasure from beaches. My sister collected these from a beach in Dorset and I added the landscape of weathered wood, flowers, and grass from memories of beachcoming on the shore.

Llyn Padarn Sunrise © Jean Williamson
Sunrise over the Llanberis Pass. I took this some years ago when The Lonely Tree was looking a little less world weary than since fame has brought it too many visitors.

|
Blue Moon © Jean Williamson
One of my all time best selling cards, back for another showing. We had another super moon last night but the skies were obscured by cloud.
|
|
Colour of Rust © Jean Williamson
Even corrosion has its beauty. A rusty heart given to me as a present placed on a background of more rust - the old ash pan from our Rayburn stove.
|
|
Bonfire © Jean Williamson
A tiny bonfire of leaves to represent the bigger, glorious bonfires of winter. It will be interesting to see if climate change forces us to invent other ways of celebrating light in the darker months.

|
Silent Night © Jean Williamson
An imaginary landscape with the first few notes of the carol 'Silent Night' singing down the wires on a winter night.
