healingwords: poetry for the soul

The Vall de Pop is a grape growing area, the grape harvest taken in trailers to the the Cooperativa in Xalo where various wines are produced, the most famous being the sweet dessert wine 'Mistela'.  At this time of year the vines are losing their leaves and yesterday I walked through fields lit by the late afternoon sun, the light shining through the leaves in glorious colour. Soon the leaves will be gone and the vineyards rowed with curling dwarf trunks.  © 2019 Jacqueline Knight Cotterill.  All rights reserved.  

As I walked in the redwoods grove in the Leighton woods near Welshpool my eye was drawn to the cathedral of monumental trees. The sense of solemn awe inspired by these trees was magnified by the autumn carpet of fallen leaves, glowing in shades of gold.  © 2019 Jacqueline Knight Cotterill.  All rights reserved.
