An interesting piece of driftwood featuring curves and knobs. The background shows white cap waves on Lake Michigan and the mid ground shows sand, with darker lines caused by the waves.
Where driftwood, sand, and water fall into alignment. Taken by me at the #IndianaDunes #Wood #BlueSkyArtShow #photography

From "Smoke Filled Room", a new compilation of unreleased tracks, curated by legendary songwriter Dan Penn himself.
"Blues Of The Month Club", perhaps known as blues song by Joe Louis Walker before.
But Dan Penn's own version adds more soul to it.

Sometime during 2025's Winter: my Harley Quinn is reaching her gray fluffy paw out to me from underneath the tan polar fleece sheets. A teal blanket shows along the top of the picture. Slightly purring, she is as snug as a kitty-bug. Oh, my heart! ₍^̮-̣^̮₎ zᶻ 💖

Old Bones in the #Cold
take a walk on the wild side
go out in the cold
whispering pines
amongst bones of trees
searchin‘ for a heart of gold
arguing with ghosts
"Don’t it break your heart? ‘Cause it breaks my heart
Damn that man who tears this country apart
He’s got no shame, he’s got no soul
He’s got no poetry inside to make him whole"

TRUTH BE TOLD (for GOOD)
They told us it would rain
But as time went by
The land dried up
We‘re waiting in vain
They told us there‘s no rain
But when we looked up
Ice covered blood
They are lying for gain
They say it would rain
Maybe this time it‘s true
All hopes that will do
Wash away ICE & pain
Bob Dylan’s 1970s "Self Portrait" brings me here.
"But I won't be a stand-in for an old love
Take me as I am or let me go"

Happy New Year, Zuzana,
may 2026 be a blessing!
Happy New Year, Monika,

A single curled, dried leaf clings to a slender twig jutting from the trunk of a tree. The leaf is brown and brittle, its surface etched with prominent veins and a crinkled texture that suggests the final stages of decay. Its edges are curled inward, forming a delicate arc that catches the light. The twig is thin and slightly angled, emerging from the tree’s bark like a fragile arm holding onto the past. The tree trunk is light brown with a rough, fibrous surface, and the lighting casts a sharp, well-defined shadow of the leaf and twig onto the bark. This shadow mirrors the leaf’s shape with striking clarity, adding depth and contrast to the composition. The background is dark and softly blurred, creating a dramatic separation between foreground and backdrop. The overall mood evokes quiet resilience and the passage of time, with the leaf serving as a poignant symbol of seasonal transition and lingering memory.
A leaf that clings through winter’s call
Shows how to rise when moments fall
Its shadow leans with gentle sway
A whispered promise of a brighter day
A brittle leaf clings to a twig, casting a sharp shadow on rough bark. A quiet moment of texture, light, and seasonal memory.

Acrylic paint on card. 2025 I've got Bob Dylan's "More Blood, More Tracks" deluxe edition as a gift. Maybe you can imagine a bird in the blue sky, maybe not. Try harder! ;-)
"I became withdrawn
The only thing I knew how to do
Was to keep on keeping on
Like a bird that flew
Tangled up in blue"
#BobDylan #blue #birds #resolutions
Finally, goodbye 2025.
Please accept my apologies for what I missed and forgot.
A classic for the better.
May 2-0-2-6 be a blessing for all of us!
