Will the day warp it's #loom
As we climb out of bed
Will our weft make it bloom?

The #Stoop fell race
#Vss365
The Stoop From the quarry bottom the runners rise wiping windswept sleet from their eager eyes Over Haworth Moor heather peat and bog breathing frozen air with an upward slog With a twisted sock and muddy knees Past Heathcliff's ghost as he rides the breeze Til at last they crest and round the stone then it's break neck speed heading back for home

Ink and Watercolour Sunflowers
A fountain pen sketch of some sunflowers in a vase with colours provided by watercolour paint. The black ink was not permanent and so the ink has run in places but I liked the effect so did some smudging on purpose.

The sun just peaks above the horizon Painting the edges of clouds that are just the right height while leaving others, at this moment, in shadow.

I wrote a poem about a tin similar to your jar 🙂
Poem Grandad had an old tin Kept in an old draw In an old dresser that no one used as a dresser any more The old dresser in the back of an old shed Made of old planks of wood that had no other use than To make an old shed For the old dresser where There was a draw with an old tin in This old tin had nails and screws And other odds and ends that no one else had use for But "they would come in handy" So today When my lace snapped On my old shoe I knew I'd find a lace In that old tin A lace that tied me back to him

A swan, taking notice of me taking a photo, glides up to enquire if I have any food on this bitterly cold winter morning. It's wake ripples the purples and orange reflections of the dawn sky from behind it
