My photo of Stokesay castle, the best preserved medieval fortified manor house in Britain. On the right a massive, grey-stone wall supports a wooden structure: beamed, pleasingly wonky, with steep roofs and a wide window. Between the beams it is painted a pale pink. To the left can be seen part of the gatehouse with yellow-painted walls with black beams, some forming a criss-cross pattern.

Hidden somewhere in the glorious #medieval manor house of Stokesay, #Shropshire, there is a treasure chest. It was owned by two giants, each of whom lived on neighbouring hills. They would lob the key to each other as needed - but one day it fell in the moat and they lost it.

Oh my goodness! I've seen this many times, but never close enough to hear them! Incredibly beautiful...and slightly unsettling...

A wonderful sunset looking west & behind me, a full moon rising. This, the month of the Cold Moon.
The Jackdaw & Rook gathering was extraordinary - so many birds gathering in sub-flocks in different trees & fields.
At one point there was a large gathering of 'daws down by the #weedypond Astonishing🦉

When you fall in love or develop a new and exciting relationship, there's something elders don't tell you.

Don't ignore friends/family who have been with you through thick and thin, who love/care for you. Don't pass them over for a new infatuation.

One doesn't have to be discarded for the other.

Lovely. This gentleman reminds me of Peter Cushing.

One of the highlights of today's birding was this Australian Owlet-nightjar (Aegotheles cristatus).. a small, dainty nightjar with a big head and huge eyes. It is Australia's smallest nocturnal bird. #BirdingAustralia #nightjars #BirdingSouthAustralia

A collage featuring a dark-haired donkey in profile, close-up photographs of white-berried mistletoe, a vintage postcard of Père Noël walking beside a donkey laden with toys in a snowy landscape, and an old illustration of mistletoe with the words “A Christmas Greeting with Love.”

On 5 December, the eve of St Nicholas’s feast day, old French tradition tells of Père Noël travelling from house to house on a gentle donkey named Gui. Laden with baskets of sweets and toys, Gui brings good fortune too, for his name means “mistletoe,” the ancient charm of luck.

Oh Blue...you sweet baby. You're growing up! Looking very dapper.💙

Only people in the administration and countries involved can do anything. Not us. We can chose people in elections, but that's no guarantee.
If Rand wants something done, he needs to do his fucking job, talk to others, organize instead of pleading to the public.

The Merry Maidens in West Penwith

Two children, dressed in warm, reddish-orange coats with fur trim and matching hats, are walking side-by-side. The child in the foreground is slightly shorter and looking down, while the taller child behind is looking forward. The ground is covered in snow, and large white flakes are falling against a dark, stippled background, suggesting a blustery winter day. A bare tree trunk is visible on the left. The illustration is contained within a black circular border, and the word "December" is written in a decorative font at the bottom centre.

December, Kate Greenaway, from Almanac for 1890.

Oil painting of the interior of a ruined Gothic cloister in winter, with tall pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and stone columns. Snow covers the floor and drifts in from the open archways. Daylight illuminates the structure through the broken walls. Scattered stones lie across the ground. There's a door to right, with a painting hanging over it. To the left, there's statue of a saint on the wall next to a doorway.

Illustration by Rien Poortvliet from 'Gnomes', the 1976 book by Poortvliet and Wil Huygen. It shows a gnome standing on a hill, the sun setting behind him. He has a long white beard, is wearing a tall red cap and is gesturing in hello or farewell.

"I fell deeply under the spell of dwarfs - those bright-hooded, snowy-bearded dwarfs. I visualised them so intensely that I came to the very frontiers of hallucination. Once, walking in the garden, I was for a second not quite sure that a little man had not run past me in the shrubbery."
- C S Lewis

Add another! It's a yes from me!

Painting of an almost silhouetted stag stood in dark, textured foliage and trees in the foreground. In the background, a large hill is visible and Glastonbury Tor. The painting uses a blue and black colours for a nocturnal scene with a crescent moon above the tor.

Goodnight moondrops.

“Within a Galaxy of Leaves” available as an original ink drawing and as a giclée art print In a clearing, a noble white cat sits mesmerized by the open volume at her feet. Is it a favourite book revisited or something new? She reads by the generous light of the crescent moon which has kindly lowered itself from the night sky to provide illumination. The scene is framed by swaying grasses in the foreground and a mysterious white column. Behind her is a curtain of flowing, dark swirling leaves forming constellations of churning galaxies a la Van Gogh. Below the leaves, in the background, a shadowy figure lurks. Is all this actually happening or is it the dreamlike imaginings of the cat as she reads her book?
