My sweet, lovely Mum died early Monday morning.
I thought I was prepared…seems I’m not.
No more #DementiaDays 🖤

Stone Curve.
Tony Cragg, 1972.

Photo of the artist Tony Cragg in a suit & brogues against a stone wall bending over with one leg extended sideways. White stones placed in intervals along the curve of his back & down the extended leg. An Art piece exploring our interactions in nature and where the artist becomes the sculpture.

Thursday Bins.
Looking down a narrow road between tall city buildings. Blue & orange dustbins in strong sunlight against a red brick building in shadow. A single orange bin further down in the middle of the road & a glimpse of a strip of bright clear blue sky above.

A crap day, but counting up the #TinyJoys as you do.

Looking up at a small high square window in the gable end of a dark peach painted stone house. Below the window is RB and the date 1563. A clear blue sky above.

Involuntary painting ✨
📷
An abstracted area of dappled, flaking paint on a metal fence. Originally painted red with yellow, pale green and blue spray paint from old graffiti. Small areas are pitted black all across the surface & to me resembled bats flying across the colour field.

…that’s where the light gets in.
A young sycamore sapling by a blue metal door, mostly in shadow but for two strong spots of really bright sunlight.

Had one of my allotted walks today, expecting a spot of puddle bothering. Zero puddles despite the recent rain, but the daisies were out by the ponds.🍃🌿

That was Friday, the clouds were like sea ripples😊
