Give a dog a bone and he eats for a day; teach him where the #bones are buried and he’ll never stop digging.

No visit to Leuven / Louvain is complete without a walk through the quiet cobbled streets of the Groot Begijnhof / Grand Beguinage.
Where the clichΓ© β€œlike stepping back in time” is appropriate.

Sainte-Chapelle, Paris, 2023. It’s a dark and rainy day in Portland, Oregon, and I felt the need for some color in my life. I think this fits the bill. #Photography #Architecture #Interior #Paris #France πŸ“·

An Englishman, an Irishman, and a Scotsman walk into a pub.

The guy behind the bar looks up and says,
β€œOi, is this some kind of joke?”

East Midlands Railway DMU 158810 passes manually-worked semaphore distant signal HN15 - sadly not pulled off - as it approaches Heckington working 2S19 Nottingham to Skegness. Note the Grade I-listed windmill beyond.

Spooky

Spooky

3:17 a.m. All the streetlights died together.
Silence.
Then wet dragging footsteps, slow, deliberate.
It knew my full name.
Whispered it through the glass.
I didn’t look.

But the darkness outside had grown one #pale patch that stared back.

Your #vss365 #prompt for Feb 8 is #pale

"The light wraps you in its mortal flame.
Abstracted pale mourner, standing that way
against the old propellers of the twilight
that revolves around you."

'The Light Wraps You', Pablo Neruda

Smile, darn ya, smile
U no this great world is a good world after all
Smile, darn ya, smile
& right away watch lady luck pay u a call
Things are never black as they are painted
Time for u & joy to get acquainted
So make life worthwhile
Come on and smile, darn ya, smile

This fluffy little ginger loaf has officially declared today #Caturday and is taking it VERY seriously 😻 Sprawled out on the couch, one paw dangling, eyes half-closed in pure contentment.
A chilled out #soothe and calm vibe to all this weekend πŸΎπŸ’€
