It was the night before FutureFest,
And all across campus,
Not a creature was stirring,
Not even a praying mantis.

The students were tucked up
In their flats for the night,
Getting ready for the next day,
Their futures looking bright.

Tiny, confused, and wondering where the weekend went.

📷 Paul Browning

A tiny Goldcrest perched on a branch with its head cocked to one side, round body puffed up and eyes wide. Its pale olive-brown feathers look soft and fluffed, and the bright yellow stripe on its crown stands out. The tilted pose gives it a sweet but slightly bewildered look, as if it’s not quite sure what’s going on.
