Another video walk, this time up the Creek with Bec on the other side of the globe, from a dampish occluded dawning in Cork to the end of a day of summer swimming in Tasmania we left our homes together. We show each other small parts of our worlds making connections and noticing differences. ThereContinue reading “Weds 13.01.2021 ~ 8am video walk with Bec- close ups & scars”

Tues 12.01.21 ~ 8am video walk with Vanya
I was early today at 8am for a video walk with Vanya , it was light in The Glen but still dawning in Sligo. We walked and talked and skated the surface of our places mixing deer fences with old walls and talking about our all too human contact and how to listen more toContinue reading “Tues 12.01.21 ~ 8am video walk with Vanya”
Mon 11.01.21 ~ Bird skull signs
Grey day late lightening and rosy in the west when it does…shepherd’s warning. I go in late afternoon, through the Glen to Blackpool, looking for wintergreen to add as a preservative to my sticky blackberry ink, 2 bagsfull, evacuated from the freezer to make room before Christmas. I see the decoy again and also theContinue reading “Mon 11.01.21 ~ Bird skull signs”
Sun 10.01.21 ~ Birch and other skins
I enter by the birch and say hello, wander down to the river where the Little Egret decoy catches my eye as usual, hanging in the bush on the far side, and as usual it makes my heart jump, a plastic bag I believe. The poplar stump holds its audience, and I picture its oldContinue reading “Sun 10.01.21 ~ Birch and other skins”
Sat 9.01.21 ~ Ice and Hidey Holes
Today to meet LL at 2.30 in the sunny and fresh Glen of many magical worlds, it felt like being inside a happy Breugal painting, families doing their leisure time things and smiling in the gold lit frost and in the shadows blue and chill. We saw a pair of teals, another blue flash forContinue reading “Sat 9.01.21 ~ Ice and Hidey Holes”
Fri 8.01.21 ~ light and shadows and Greta Egret
There has been no new snowfall and so what remains is the frozen leftovers from yesterday. I’m in the Glen by half past three and wondering what I’ll find today, I am happy to see the Glen little egret, Glenda, Glenn or Greta… the names are hovering, I see her as she swipes left onContinue reading “Fri 8.01.21 ~ light and shadows and Greta Egret”
Thurs 7.01.21 ~ Angelica on the Fleischmann footprint
Two walks today… it snowed in the morning and I couldn’t resist recording my icy footprint from earlier in the day, still pressed into the gravel and resisting the warmth of the winter sun. Children were sliding down the path the whole morning on shopping bags and polythene sheets. It was 5pm before I reachedContinue reading “Thurs 7.01.21 ~ Angelica on the Fleischmann footprint”
Weds 6.01.2021 ~ Sun ritual and velvet shank
Some of the Glen walkers have decided to leave impermanent offerings of presence in spots of the park and to leave clues on the Friends of The Glen page, the clue that spoke of discarded robes led me directly to the soft circle of leaves beneath each tree on the little avenue of Swamp Cypresses,Continue reading “Weds 6.01.2021 ~ Sun ritual and velvet shank”
Tues 5.01.21 ~ Fleischmann House
One of the Friends of the Glen has found some images of the old Fleischman House… It is hard to imagine this in the undergrowth, today’s mission will be to locate this crazy tree, I can’t make out what the leaf form is but will be looking out for the bendy trunk and have sentContinue reading “Tues 5.01.21 ~ Fleischmann House”
Mon 4.01.21 ~ Ceder
I wanted to check in with the Ceder pile this morning, to see if it was still there and also to sample again the pencil perfume, wondering if it was still as strong in the frosty weather.. the pile was there all dusted in frost and the pencil scent was hanging in the air, itContinue reading “Mon 4.01.21 ~ Ceder”
