Gordon Sq

Welcome

The aim of this blog is to post an image a day of the things make me stand and stare.

As William Davies said:

What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare

No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this is if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

My aim this year is to make sure that I do.

Hope you enjoy and also take time yourselves to stand and stare.
