I know, I know. I just posted a #photograph of one of these little guys last week. But they are just so tempting and vivid and happy. And I have never lived anywhere before where there were blue birds. So, one more photo from my daily walk!

I’ve just finished watching Adolescence.
Raw, game-changing television.
I have next to no words.

At the centre of a bright and bustling library, the librarian sets like the smiling captain of a spaceship at the controls. Numerous school children examine the books in the library and seem completely absorbed.
On Library Lovers Day, enjoy this optimistic 1950s magazine cover

Yesterday's atmospheric walk. I love that we get all four seasons - often within the one day!

A Robin is perched on a tiny branch in a Yew tree. Facing forward showing off his bright orange and white chest feathers. His head is turned to the left in side profile. The background blurs behind him in patterns from the yew leaves and branches.
Good morning. A sweet Robin that I saw on a woodland walk a few weeks ago... they always look so bright and cheerful on a winters day! 🧡 🪶 📷
Happy Tuesday everyone 🕊️ 🌿
