Country Field A Unicorns Gift – By My Good Friend Roger Sampson , Check out his work if you can As a new day lay forging and camera in hand / She found herself seeking about once again / In search of green fields, wide reaching trees / Tumbling water, cascading gently to please / Misty aired meadows, clouds kissing blue sky / Colour hues dancing in each scene passed by / She walks sylvan paths hoping for rapture / Looking for splendor her eyes there to capture Along a path she spied, just off to the side / Another small way as if trying to hide / Something was calling, ‘to me, this way take’ / She felt its promise, so soothing it spake / Following its windings past shadows of trees / A whisper heard passing on the Autumn breeze / Stepping from wooded edge her heart was amazed / A sight never witnessed, in awe she just gazed A lovely green field now holding her view / On it soft dusting’s small red leaves wind blew / To its left the forest, curving miles it seemed / Beauty like this, only wondered and dreamed / The sun shown more softer in sky where it’s kept / So magical this place, she sighed and she wept / Then suddenly a movement from behind an oak / A thought she heard, but no voice heard spoke She crouched in silence, her heart quickly danced / For out from the forest a unicorn pranced / Snow white and regal with long flowing mane / He stopped in his trot to view his domain / He studied and looked, then glanced her way / as if to say, enjoy, it’s your place for the day / She reached for her camera but then off he flew / No one else would see now, of that which she knew She walked in the field saddened of what lost / She sat and pondered, her camera she tossed / ‘Was the unicorns gift’, she felt so ashamed / Then a calming indwelled her, minds eye it framed / Looking once more at this magical place / Brought sudden peace, a warmth, a smiling face / ‘It was his kingdom given to capture this day / Not him the subject, of my camera’s play’

Taken a few miles east of Leicester, near Allexton. Its that time in the UK, just before the wheat gets harvested – heavy heads beginning to nod gently under the weight of the grain, and the weather unable to decide whether it is summer or not, threatening to flatten the crop, just it is ready. Leicestershire is full of distant horizons like this, and the Barley is all but in now, much of the ground already having been put under the plough in readiness for the next crop.

On May 3rd 1915 John McCrae wrote the poem In Flanders Fields, after witnessing the death of his friend, Lt. Alexis Helmer. Since then the Poppy has been the symbol for the lives lost during World War 1. On November 11th (UK) we commemorate the sacrifices made, and remember what they gave for us.

Barn Owl…..... With heart shaped face, buff back and wings and pure white under parts the barn owl is a distinctive and much loved countryside bird. Widely distributed across the UK, and indeed the world, the bird has suffered declines over the past fifty years as a result of the degradation of once prey-rich habitats in the face of intensive agricultural practices. This decline, fortunately, has halted in many areas and the population may now be increasing. / Where to see them Open country, along field edges, riverbanks and roadside verges. / When to see them All year round; during the day, but best at dusk. / What they eat Mice, voles and shrews
Location / Alkham, near Dover, Kent, England. June 2009: I have never seen so many poppies so tightly packed together before, and it was a baking hot summers afternoon. Thankfully there where some whisps of clouds around to hold an interest in the sky.
