The old cafe in Otterspool Park looks ready for demolishing

Looks like rain on the Mersey

Looks brighter towards Eastham

Alone cyclist battles the rain on the prom

Old anchors on the prom

Hi Joe

Took a liberty with your photographs. I hope you like the sentiment. Will also post a couple of your pics elsewhere and of course credit you if that is okay.

Rhododendron Path

Sick of the photographs
of oil-slicked pelicans
from the Gulf oil spill,

the chat about culpability
of corporate executives
and playboy serial killers,

I wish instead just to dream
like Millais' "Bubbles" and wander
the rhododendron path
of a childhood park.
