Friday!

Three ancient roman shoes with pierced decoration displayed on dummy feet.

Here are three wonderfully preserved Roman shoes that were discovered at Bar Hill Roman fort on the Antonine Wall in Scotland in the early 1900s. Shoes made for men, women and children have been found there, reminding us that frontier zones were not an exclusively military environment. #FindsFriday

A male Blackbird just landed near me

I wondered why he was so trusting, thinking he may be one of the Mini Bert’s, & then he sang a few notes of the raisin song

It IS Bert, almost unrecognisable with the new feathers post moulting

Bert’s back & I am crying 🥲🐦‍⬛

The same species in Europe do.

This weekend's #ShakespeareSunday theme has been chosen by @lazarustheatre.bsky.social - FORGIVENESS & REVENGE!

A bridge stretches over water. A tree with orange leaves reflects in the water.

An evening walk to swoon over Autumn. 🍁✨

We store up colour,
Bright red leaves and summer blooms,
Ghosts for winter dreams.

A mass of deep yellow flowers amidst green stalks.

October flowers. ✨🌼

A tree splits into two with deep orange leaves fading into yellow green. Water to the left in a hint of lake.

Another of my favourite trees. 🍁✨

Light breaks through the deep orange leaves of a trees branches.

Good morning! ✨

The geese are leaving,
We lift our heads to the sky,
Their song in our hearts.

He is a dashing libertine. Earring in one ear and silk lined pockets. He strides purposefully and imagines those waiting for his witty repartee. She watches him..observes his green wellies, straw behind one ear and mud splattered coat. His confidence undeniable.

A chipmunk sits on the rim of a silver bowl full of birdseed…bowl and chipmunk full of birdseed..

Almost time to hibernate little one..🐿️✨

What we become depends on what we read after all of the professors have finished with us. The greatest university of all is a collection of books.

I have my eyes tested every year.

So, so sorry. Sending you a comfort hug.

#31DaysOfGraves Day 9: Hand
Gravestone showing hand with finger pointing upwards and commmemorating a 'Dear mother' Mary Ann Greenwood, who died 9th June 1892, aged 44.

In ponds, pools and rivers, Stay Belows feel the cooling, notice the littering of acorns and leaves upon the surface. We feel the first chill as desire for gloves, hug of sweater. They feel it as a hunger. An instinct for one final feast before taking to the mud for the long sleep of winter.

Remembering John Pritchard & Christopher Willocks, who died #OTD 1879. They were 2 of 6 killed as a result of a boiler explosion at the West Croft site,Halifax of Balme & Pritchard, dyers & stuff finishers. John established the business with James Balme in 1854. No image of Christopher's headstone.

The tangled dead, root-pulled from above and below, feel scratches upon long vanished, phantom flesh. Their fancy houses have become cells where they wait on visitors who never come. Necropolis bounded and more than half-forgotten, many of them ache for hell. – #CLNolan

Night Rachel ⭐️

Ghostly woman in a white dress and with blonde, bobbed hair stood beneath a tree at night with a bench beside her and a fence and green shrubs and trees behind, painting.

Goodnight.
‘Oh whence do you come, my dear friend, to me
With your golden hair all fallen below your knee
And your face as white as snowdrops on the lea
And your voice as hollow as the hollow sea?’ The Poor Ghost, Christina Rossetti. #31DaysOfHalloween
