"Beware the barrenness of a busy life" - Socrates

I am reminded of this wisdom as I sit reading the paper with a cup of coffee and contemplating the day before it runs away with itself and it becomes tomorrow.

A photo from inside the witches tower near pontyclun. Looking upwards, the optical illusion is one of being in the bottom of a well.

A bit of rural exploring today.

Today's game is to turn my day out into a hunt for images that follow a pattern akin to a children's book.

So.

"A man went to Bath and did the math.
To find thirteen images along his path.
All need to be in order and follow the flow.
Can he make it the end? We don't know."
