This week Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge is Back of Things.
The inner workings,
intricate machinations,
whirling springs and cogs.

Glorious Past
Building Blocks of History 20th September
Things happen every day, big and small. Together they make our family history, our local history, our country’s history and sometimes they become part of global history.
All of these things happened on 20th September in years gone by.
First Battle of Newbury 1643.
First Royal Visit to USA 1860.
Baby Katie’s first holiday 1990.
Launch of QEII 1967.
In 1643 the First Battle of Newbury was fought.
In 1860 Edward, Prince of Wales made the first Royal Visit to the US.
In 1967 the Queen Elizabeth II was launched.
In 1990 we took Katie on her first ever holiday.
Crossing new borders
full of possibilities
travelling through life.

HAIGA HEAVEN CHALLENGE 39 – HERALDRY
Regular visitors know, I love Haigas.
Traditionally, Japanese Haigas are a complimentary combination of a haiku and simple painting. Modern Haiga writers embrace a range of visual media including photography and graphics.
Join me, having fun, creating new Haigas, using your favourite medium.
If you want to join in, you’ll find a new prompt to inspire your Haiga every Sunday. Add a link in the comments box to share your Haiga.
I look forward to seeing your take on this week prompt – Heraldry.
Heralds, pursuivants,
esoteric coat of arms
and insignia.
Once diplomatic envoys,
genealogy masters.

Value of Play
Prompted by Ronovan’s Prompt – Passion & Play and Colleen’s Poetry Challenge – Voice & Watch.
Passionate voices,

practising life skills,
revealing secrets safely,
watched by guardian angels.
