The moss-carpeted base of a tree, which has many arms, and a cute face, and makes you realise why history is full of people who went out for walks in the countryside and wrote stories about bullshit creatures and events.
Very much enjoying this mossy octo-bear creature I found hiding in a tree trunk on a walk in the Blackdown Hills.
Substantial through stone steps (X3) to allow access over a dry stone wall. Gentle hills beyond in brown end of winter vegetation.
Them there cantilever through stone stilin' steps, Potter Tarn.
Folk music hive mind; please can I have examples of sixties/seventies revival acts attempting to release coke-bloat infused albums in the eighties (ideally with cover artwork featuring yacht rock styling).
A frosty hill side with curved chalk lines carved in it. There is mist rising off the hill almost like a horses mane. IN the distance are more hills and a clear sky.
A small fan shaped winter tree shrouded in a fine mist the image is framed by winter branches from nearer trees. There are a few yellow leaves still attached to the central tree.
Anyone else in the UK feeling like you're living in Silent Hill? Yes, there's been a lot of mist and fog about. Spooky weather. So I thought I'd share a couple of fog pictures. The first is at the White Horse at Uffington the second Biggleswade. And talking of fog check out a link below 1/2

More of this please.
Weather rhyme: "Dry March, wet May, Plenty of corn, plenty of hay. Wet March, dry May, Little corn, little hay"
Some March weather lore as seen at the Marton Museum of Country Bygones 👇
(wonder how much corn and hay we get when it's foggy? 🤔)
The distribution of letters in English words.
A section of a broken branch that kind of looks like an upright walking horse…sort of.
When I used to walk my son to & from school, we used to play various games to diminish the tedium & repetition. One was finding ‘good’ sticks, we had quite the collection😂
My son, now 26 still occasionally brings them me. Last week he brought in this ‘proud horse homunculus’!

Fog. Cyclist, just visible. 30 mile per hour sign.
A Brighton block of flats, just an eerie shadow.
Some oil containers near the harbour.
Today. Robbed by fog.
rooftops in Looe at night. Lots of tiny cottages squashed in and up the hillside in this special place

Episode 253 - Quiet night sky at Looe (61 mins)
Empty air. No planes. No cars. Just gusts of winds and a hint of sea breezes reflecting their sounds on the slates of the cottage roof.

The passage grave of Mané-Rutual in Locmariaquer (Morbihan) has a 10m long passage to a chamber covered by a 50-ton 11x4m capstone of imported stone which broke in two during an early excavation. Card by Le Rouzic 1904. #TombTuesday.
Happy birthday!
Photo in a graveyard looking at the backs of gravestones. Someone has numbered each headstone with large numbers in spray paint. B+W photo to make the numbers stand out.
I assume someone was doing a very crude survey? I don't think I've seen graffitied numbers on the back of gravestones before.
I'm mortified I missed that.
Photo of a frog/toad warning sign on a foggy day. A red triangle on a white background with an illustration of a black frog in the middle.
Finally saw my first frog / toad warning sign in the wild on Sunday, on a lovely foggy adventure with @geologydisco.bsky.social @famishedforblonds.bsky.social

Place legends in postcards. Cute dog! But what is the stone? I know, of course. But can you guess?
My car has been resurrected and if I treat it gently it might survive a bit longer. Maybe I could meet you somewhere:)
Literally my pleasure, and it would be lovely to see you again sometime. :)
I really hate that whole thing of "please spend ages putting together a proposal but we won't bother explaining why we rejected it because we're far too busy".
Rewatching Small Prophets.
It’s a beautiful piece of work.
I’ve hardly seen a bad word against it.
Magical stuff.

Maybe we should be clearer. Jobs aren’t at risk from AI. They’re at risk from amoral shitbag short term spec capitalists using AI against a weakly unionised workforce and broken government.
Fact. The screwdriver that tightens the arms of spectacles is only available inside Christmas crackers. Opticians have to pull dozens of crackers to get the tools of their trade, and if you look out the back at Specsavers, you’ll find bins full of wire puzzles, hair bobbles and fortune telling fish.
It's random photograph time again.
