Fairies on a mission- seed dispersal.
I notice that I wrote in my sketch book ‘taking off like fairies on a mission’ and that was exactly how it seemed as I watched the myriads of seeds take of from the willow on the undercliff just outside Swanage.
I could write about what it is like to prepare for Dorset Art Weeks – but I wont because when I walked out of the house to go on a very long walk I left all that preparation and anxiety behind.
The air was full of the white shimmering.
Tickling the nostrils.
Like silk between the fingers.
Like froth on the tree.
Every trip out I make I seem to encounter the air full of the same white fluff and it makes me glad I walked out that day. If you would like to hear about my experience of my Open Studio event for Dorset Art Weeks let me know and I’ll keep you informed. I open my doors on Saturday for 2 weeks.
