I take a deep breath,
Step forth, cross the covered bridge
Leading me to you

#ForestFriday #Scape #Haiku #Poetry #NewEngland #EastCoastKin #Autumn

Wason Pond Covered Bridge, Chester, New Hampshire, 2024
A covered wooden bridge crosses over a still pond, connecting two dirt paths. Around the bridge are trees in various stages of autumn transformation, with lush green leaves behind the bridge and bold vermilion and golden leaves beside the bridge

Here is a nice a mushroom
A vase shaped golden chanterelle grows from the mossy forest soil like an ocean wave breaking against a rock. Rain wet ferns grow all around under the green forest background. All photos by me

The pope has condemned clickbait as a “degrading” part of journalism, at a private audience with global newswires.

"I urge you: never sell out your authority"

News agencies deliver a service which “requires competence, courage and a sense of ethics”.

da pope! first affirming migrant rights and now this

(and yes the headline is clickbait-y by design)
You won’t believe what degrading practice the pope just condemned

This was done from a recent painting of mine, which is all in green and black, and a touch of white. Kaleidoscope was done in MirrorLab. This kaleidoscope does look very Christmassy.

"It looks like Operation: Honeytrap is a success, sir."

"What's the evidence so far?"

"Well, the enemy AI keeps sending our AI pictures of nuclear explosions it has launched with the caption, 'Look, I got you some flowers.'"

Gingham blanket pattern from Fiber Spider. Filet section was quick. Weaving in the cross threads, not so much. Effective though.

#WIP #yarn #stashBusting #crochet
Rows of filet crochet in powder blue and white form an open grid. 5 strands of each colour is then threaded through the holes to form a gingham style blanket.

It may not solve all of problems currently facing the world, but I think we can all agree that bringing back gargoyles, mixtapes, and handwritten letters with wax seals would be an important first step.

The Aust Parliament Sports Club (the one that ditched David Pocock) is now formally registered as a lobby group👇🏽

Anthony Albanese is the President of the Aust Parliament Sports Club.

That means the Prime Minister of Australia is currently the president of a lobby group.

Just utterly unbelievable.
