I am truly blessed to have three beautiful children...12, 10 and 8. This is a series from today - Mother's day in the UK.

mother's day -
my 10 year old comes to the bedroom
at 6.50am...

gifts...
my excitement
and theirs..

scented soap, writing paper, bracelet
the look on his face
as I unwrap each gift

in her hand made card
all the colours of the rainbow
and more...

my 8 year old
has wrapped his own presents:
a peace lily candle ...and handkerchiefs

three children -
discussing the merits
of each others gifts

mum..
hugging each child
tightly

spring rain -
after warning him off the cookies
I eat them

Sangeet :)
raindrops
blurring
my reflection

similar to one an older one of mine from years ago (below):

blurring my reflection
two warm palms
covered in chocolate

Sangeet
school disco..
my children do not notice
the rain

deep in thought
my eyes suddenly notice
the Buddha's smile ... on the statue


(hmmm, still working on this)
spring rain
my son and I watch
a starling gathering twigs

snow again
the shrunken skin
of the forgotten aubergine

knife-juggler
juggling with knives
he smiles
at me

(Cardiff, Dec 2005)

wilted tulips
wilting tulips
before I discard them
I admire them again

wooden chimes

all the fancy salons
he chooses
the backstreet barber

Sangeet (Singapore 2005)

everyday life
high on the ferris wheel
my camera captures
a moment of life

first day at work
not wanting to step on
the pristine snow

wooden chimes
some snow
resting a while
on my worn wooden chimes
