This is just one day in Ceredigion....
By rivers and wooded glens. Wild flowers and ferns beside our feet, uncurling and smiling up to the warm sunlight.
Moss covered pathways of wood and stone mark our pathway ahead by the riverside.
Megan leads the way.
Two quiet beaches together separated by the tide, we tip-toe through the icy waves where the only footprints are our own.
Soft sand and ripples of light sparkle on our faces.
Eyes bright and the colour of the sky.
The icy waves chasing our toes.
Time to dream and let the sound of the waves sooth our souls.
Drifting clouds bring the colours of time.
The tide is coming back in now and we cross over the dark rocks with bare feet, trying to catch the red sparks of the sunlit sea.
Tired after the salty air we sleep. The soft dawn light mirrors the next day.

This morning I went for a wander through the woodland behind my house, 6am and everything gleaming in the summer dew. A few photos of the woods and garden before I show you the newer sketches.
The few new.
There is a folklore tale that inspired me to draw 'The Keeper of Special Things'.
To cut a long story short, and once upon a time, a young princess was lured into a Kings ancient greek kingdom by the most beautiful bright and shiny jewels of crystal and gold. Not so long after, when her father found out he was so angry at her he changed her into a jackdaw. This is why the jackdaw loves bright and shiny things....but look at where she is now and what she has found. I might make this into a story to write soon.
