First glance, one rainbow.
Look closer, double your luck
with two pots of gold.

According to Irish mythology, there’s a pot of gold rainbow belonging to a leprechaun (fairy) at the end of each rainbow, although first you must catch the leprechaun to find the pot. But before you have a go, you best assess your chances of succeeding by clicking on this link
The good news is that, even if you don’t catch the elusive little blighter, rainbows are meant to bring you luck.
Blissful innocence.
World of possibilities
within one garden.
Wholesome sea-kale,
food of ancient mariners.
Protected species.

Please note that in the UK (and probably other countries), it’s illegal to harvest sea-kale that’s growing in the wild.
In the old days, this super-nutritious plant saved the lives of many mariners by helping prevent scurvy, but then Victorian foodies over-harvested sea-kale and now it’s so rare that it has become a protected species. But the good news is that you can buy packets of seeds and grow it in your gardens or allotments.
The ones in the picture above, I found amidst camomile flowers on the shoreline a few miles from my home and this was first time since my childhood that I’ve seen them in their natural habitat.
Reflected in lake,
grey heron stands motionless
contemplating fish.
Strides outpace river;
scent of estuary brine
fills lungs. The sea calls.
