Leave the familiar for a while.
Let your senses and bodies stretch out

Like a welcomed season
Onto the meadows and shores and hills.

Open up to the Roof.
Make a new watermark on your excitement
And love.

Summer Splendour 2011

Posted by emmalenekatayama | June 27, 2011 | Filed under Images, Poems

Summer 2011 has taken its time in arriving in true British Summer style. However the true splendour of an English Summer is now with us and the vivid depth of colour abounds within every garden, field and hedgerow. Heat and dust fail to diminish the raucous showing off of our flora and fauna.

Such a colour, such infinite light!
The heart of a fabulous gem,
Many-faceted, brilliant and rare.
Centre Stone of the earth’s diadem!

Amy Lowell

FOUR SEASONS – A Celebration
The Yorkshire School of Natural Healing believes that a reverent connection to Nature is central to our feeling at one with our World. Four Seasons is a collection of photographs taken locally by Richard Sara-Gray celebrating the colours, textures and lighting of the cycle of growth and replenishment that is our year. We are delighted to share with you the final cycle of the series, Summer Splendour, and these deeply personal and yet universal images.
