White cloud bubbling up from the bottom left hand corner, passed behind a phone cable. Above the cloud, the moon rests in the blue. Left of centre (at 3 minutes to 12) above the moon and off to the right (at 20 minutes past 12) sit a pair of cloud-white objects. They look like they could be moons of the moon, or UFO’s. However, raindrops on the window pane is their mundanity of reality.

Just a bridge, or maybe a portal to the other side?
Shining railway lines disappear into the distance, through the tunnel of a simple bridge and off of the earth - spooky, eh?

That was an interesting trip, this afternoon.
A road sign points to the right, saying “Greenland 2”.

Tess - long since gone, yet every time I peel an orange I expect her to come ambling through looking for a segment.

A photo of a black Giant Schnauzer sitting pretty on a wicker rocking chair, in the woods up the hill. She is posed in profile wearing a red collar. The chair is front end on. The trees are mostly silver birch, shot in winter sun.

Tender, humane, & it is read.
@chetnamaroo.bsky.social writes a beautiful, quiet story. @john-self.bsky.social is quoted, saying “It is a novel that says a lot without making lots of noise, that speaks volumes on family and grief without assuming that the reader needs everything to be spelled out.”
The cover of Chetna Maroo’s novel, Western Lane

A detail of a painting (most probably by Thomas Gainsborough, because it is in Gainsborough’s House museum in Sudbury, Suffolk - I usually take notes when I grab photos but I clearly didn’t this time). The museum and gallery is superb.
#SundayPixPctures
An oil painting of a young woman with tightly pulled back hair, carrying a hair clip of two, small, pink roses and foliage on the top of her head. The set of her face and look in her eyes shine with quiet self-assurance. She is wearing a pink, silk ribbon around her neck, a slightly deeper pink or maybe gold earring in her right ear. Her hair is mostly reddish, fading to a darker tone around her ear. The artist’s brush strokes and the texture of the canvas are visible in places. The subject’s face is lit from her right, with shadows to her left.

Image of a wild looking dinosaur, with pretty big looking teeth, short arms and spikes along its head and spine. It is called Walgettosuchus

Toad on a (rail) road.
A toad (I think - I am no amphibian expert, don’t you know) on some grass, on top of a long since abandoned railway line. The back/upper side of the toad has dark (nearly black) grey splotches on a lighter grey background. The curve of the eyeballs are just detectable, at the either side of its head. Similarly, the lightness of its underside & belly is just detectable, around the edges. The grass is a mix of fresh greens & faded yellows.
