Grounded

An old illustration today showing my interpretation of one of the 4 elements - EARTH - you can read about the classical elements here. I always feel connected to earth as an element although my astrological sign would be associated with fire. I like to feel solidity and strength, a link with Mother Earth. I love the soil and growing things and feel happiest when my feet are planted firmly on the ground walking through beautiful woodland!

Earth

I spent this morning with a blackbird. It's the first opportunity I've had for some time to go to my allotment and do some digging. Each time I turned over the earth the blackbird swooped down and plucked up a fat juicy worm. He was not scared of me at all and after 2 hours I'm surprised he could still fly!
