Happy Heron Xmas!
Very handsome heron on a canal bridge staring off into middle distance. Probably wondering what he's having for Xmas dinner.

I always find this, from Rosie Made a Thing, very poignant.
Cartoon of a sad-looking man in a business suit, with a briefcase in one hand, and a toy dinosaur in the other. Text says: "When you grow up people stop asking you what your favourite dinosaur is. They just don't care."

Date night.
Two cats, one tabby, the other white, sit side by side on a stone wall. It is obviously date night, but it looks as if they've had a bit of a disagreement.

Hello. Good to see you back, and your cat's back.
Black cat with unearthly bluey-greeny eyes, peeps over a stone wall.

Beautiful black cat, with mesmerising greeny-blue eyes, popping its head up from behind a stone wall.

Tá an grian ag dul a chodladh...
Sun setting behind distant mountains, in an absolutely clear sky. Very striking, but some clouds would make for a much more dramatic sunset.

Morning.
Very sharp horizon cutting across sea below, and the big, beautiful blue sky above.

There's @fhayesmccoy.bsky.social looking and sounding fabulous in today's Irish Times... 🤩
Lovely smiley photo of white-haired author Felicity Hayes McCoy draped in purple, orange and red coat. Her photo is printed alongside a question and answer article in the Irish Times newspaper.

Somebody in my local library is reading on a theme. These two were on the returns trolley...
Two novels laid side by side. One book cover says "Death under a little sky". The other is titled "Big sky".

This medieval Munich gargoyle is shocked, shook, and stunned that you're a big roundy Bertie! All the best, Felicity x

This chap always lurks under the Murray's Undertakers sign like a harbinger of doom...
Heron reflected in the waters of the Grand Canal, beneath an old sign for Murray's Undertakers.

Finally, a blue sky! And it highlights the gorgeous texture of this tree bark.
A wintry tree with no leaves, set against a clear blue sky.

Good afternoon. I did!
Beautifully frilly white cactus flower. (Sadly it will wither by tomorrow) I call it the carpe diem cactus.

Gorgeous sunset this evening.
Opalescent, pearlescent, all the escents sunset over the hilos this evening. From vivid orange to palest cream.

Great excitement in the sports club about this creature. Is it a mantis?
Weird (to me), light green insect perched on grey woven chair fabric. Possibly a mantis?
