Blogger and splodga - I like to write and I like to paint. I’m captivated by our natural world.. especially Fungi. 🍄 I think we can become enlightened and save our planet. We just need to get on with it. 🌍 artfulsplodga.com
Good morning Blue Skiers! It’s Monday so have a marvellous Monday.. Be kind to everyone, especially yourself, and know that in spite of the (some) ‘news’ most of the time life is ok really. All is Well. 💛✨

This is Trebah Garden in Cornwall. The crocuses are out! Spring is on the way in this magical microclimate. This is a Cornish subtropical paradise, full of tree ferns, monkey puzzles, glorious camellias and so much more.. #garden #microclimate #cornwall

Trying to make something meaningful out of trash. Here is a picture I’ve made out of pieces of plastic that have washed up on our Cornish beaches this past week. Lost from a shipping container in 2019 they are everywhere. #plastic #art #beachclean #plasticpollution #environment #ocean #sea

Are you a painter? Why do you paint? Some paint because they can’t stop. Others because it’s how they earn a living. Others because it makes them feel alive. I’m a manic painter - I’m either all in, or all out. I have no style - just a touch of madness #art #paint #blueskyart #blue #abstract

Looking through my Mum’s old photo album.. Here she is with her best friend Edna. My Mum’s smoking the pipe and looks like she’s having fun. I guess this was before she married my Dad..

Just around the corner Mother Nature is humming her Springtime song. Today these crocuses were singing sweetly by the side of the path - standing tall and so beautiful in their fragile magnificence - reminding us NEVER to give up! 🌷

When I saw this out the corner of my eye, I thought it was a dog’s ball.. But I believe it’s a stinky old Stinkhorn. Never seen one before in my whole life! #stinkhorn

I fell out with my favourite mushroom yesterday and now I’m sad 😔 I had to have a conversation with an ogre and I lost my centre. Sometimes difficult days turn us defensive and then we say dumb things to those we love.
And I love my favourite mushroom very much. 💜

D’you know what? Back in the day, there used to be a tv ad that said “only Smarties have the answer..” Well I think only mushrooms have the answer - we just need to ask the question. 🍄

In these days of such overt unkindness and greed, I think in order to keep some kind of sanity we need to keep things simple and local. Study what’s close by, cherish it, share it, celebrate it. Love is everywhere - we just need to be open enough to see it. #fungi #love #justbekind #nature

They come and they go and you have to strike it lucky to catch them.. Where will they show themselves next?

Wordpress daily prompt: What makes a good leader? I said..
‘Someone who earns people’s respect.’
But I can’t think of any examples of that right now, so my only conclusion is all the good ones must be dead. #politics

Hi BlueSky..
First there was MySpace, and I liked it a lot. But suddenly everyone disappeared overnight.. Why? Coz along came Facebook, which didn’t take too long to become a toxic brew. Then Twitter morphed into the same, and now Instagram.. so I’m sad. Is this platform any better? 🤞
