As Naughty As You Want

The caption painted next to this piece of street art by Bambi in the entrance to Neals Yard says, "You can be as naughty as you want. Just don't get caught".

A pelican on the lake shore spreads its wings to dry them. A grey heron watches for fish, framed by autumn leaves. A large London Plane tree spreads its autumn-leaved branches over the path by the lake. A long view down the lake, past a cormorant on a rocky outcrop, to the Blue Bridge, framed by trees with orange and yellow leaves.

Probably won't get around to reading this for a while. I found the TV series on BBC2 after casting around for something to follow Aimee Lou Wood's Film Club on BBC3. Both are a great watch for getting away from all the madness. And this should be a nice, quiet read.

Grey Skies Over London

A blackgum tree in Autumn, with leaves of yellow, red, and brown, with some still green. A grey sky serves as a good backdrop to show off the colours

It's #Caturday but I don't have any cat photos to share. So I thought I'd post this one of an octopus. 🤭

Posting my favourite poem again for #NationalPoetryDay
The Song of Wandering Aengus BY WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS I went out to the hazel wood, Because a fire was in my head, And cut and peeled a hazel wand, And hooked a berry to a thread; And when white moths were on the wing, And moth-like stars were flickering out, I dropped the berry in a stream And caught a little silver trout. When I had laid it on the floor I went to blow the fire a-flame, But something rustled on the floor, And someone called me by my name: It had become a glimmering girl With apple blossom in her hair Who called me by my name and ran And faded through the brightening air. Though I am old with wandering Through hollow lands and hilly lands, I will find out where she has gone, And kiss her lips and take her hands; And walk among long dappled grass, And pluck till time and tides are done, The silver apples of the moon, The golden apples of the sun.

The shop window display at Dior in London's Bond Street, with two mannequins standing just left of centre. They both appear to represent women, the one on the right dressed in knee-length black shorts with long below-the-knee high-heeled boots, a white long-sleeved ruff collar shirt with a scarlet long-sleeved bolero jacket and a black sling bag. The one on the left is dressed in a beige mini dress with black shoes and below-the-knee black socks; it also seems to have an open rough black lace jacket. The beige mini dress looks as if it is made of the similar material to that of the mannequin itself, and almost everything behind the mannequins seems to be made of matching beige materials, comprising a wooden wall, a wide table on the right with three drawers beneath, a pile of three cardboard boxes at bottom right, a curtain hanging below a wooden shelf across the right two-thirds of the picture, and a chest of drawers at the left with several drawers slightly open. Ten headless and legless mannequin bodies stand on the shelf with four stacked boxes near the right. There's another shelf above this one with more boxes and mannequin bodies. At the bottom can be seen the wooden floor. Apart from three bags, a beret, and a pair of shoes, everything is in some shade of beige. As I walked past, the mannequin on the left seemed to vanish and reappear.

Black and white. Adults and children painting on a large sheet of cloth at London's Trafalgar Square. A man is at the bottom left with a small girl to his right, holding a paint brush. In the middle at the bottom is a teenage girl with a small paint brush, looking at the sheet and considering where her next stroke will go. To her right a small boy is sitting with his feet wide apart, and his right hand behind one of several pots of paint. The sheet is covered in patterns, shapes, and letters. About eight to ten other people are standing or sitting on a wall at the back of the scene.

Eight people waiting at a bus stop include two lady pirates wearing tricorn hats and pirate clothes. A third tricorn hat sits on the bench inside the bus stop. Perhaps it belongs to the little girl standing next to it, leaning on the bench. It's the day of the Old Leigh Regatta, and some people dress for the occasion.

Black and white. A woman with a boy toddler in the rain at London's Piccadilly Circus, standing on the steps of the Eros statue. The woman is facing to the left, a couple of steps down from the boy, holding his left hand with her right, while he is facing the viewer. At the bottom of the steps, in the foreground, is a pram-style buggy with bags on the handle and a plastic cover over unseen items on the seat.
