Promising. 🌻

A sunflower plant growing up a bamboo cane in front of a wooden fence. Two yellow flowers are just starting to open, one at the top of the stem and one half way down.

An afternoon well spent.

My current look.

Image of the 1970s cartoon character Crystal Tips. A pink faced lady with a sad expression and thick, frizzy shoulder length purple hair.

Very much enjoying this.

This evening’s moon, with added Venus.

Pale blue, late evening sky with a bright, crescent moon. Just above the moon is a bright point of light which is the planet Venus.

This evening’s sky.

Late evening sky over roof and tree tops. The sky is mainly pale blue, with low, thin stripes of dark clouds. Some of the clouds are glowing pink/orange from the setting sun.

This evening’s sky. Everything seems greener and bluer after this afternoon’s storm.

View across a flat, green field and hedges and trees at the horizon. The grass is cut short and there are football goals in the distance. The sky is deep blue behind a band of white clouds.

Gatekeeper.

Behind the top of a fence at the bottom of the photo, is the top of a tall wooden gate fixed to the side of a house. A white cat with a black head sits next to the gate post on the wall that runs behind the fence.

Scrolling along and I thought this was one of those ‘how it started, how it’s going’ things for a second.

Screenshot of Bluesky feed on showing two posts. The top one is a 19th century painting of a young man and woman side by side. The bottom one is an image from Columbo in which the detective is sitting on a sofa speaking on a phone whilst his arm is around the shoulder of the man next to him.

Long-legged Lou.

View down an empty football pitch - the sun is behind me and my long legged shadow stretches out on across the grass.

It’s finally unfurling time.

Close up photograph of two plant pots in front of a wooden fence. In the front pot a fern is in the early stages of its spring regrowth. One frond is almost fully unfurled and pointing straight upwards. There are several shorter stems with their leaves still coiled up.

Spotted this today - probably not everyone’s thing but I actually quite like it.

A black and white print in a square black frame, photographed through a shop window. The print is a hazy silhouette of Paddington Bear sitting on a bench with his suitcase to one side. His right paw is outstretched in front of him in slightly clearer focus, as if being held out towards the viewer.

And again this year.

A clump of bluebells nestled against a wooden fence.

I loved this. I think I found it so absorbing because everything - time, geography, memory - is slightly off, like a dream. Plus it has ghosts and folk horror vibes, which always appeal to me.

Yes, I think I can identify with that.

Extract from the novel Benighted by JB Priestly:

Margaret had released Philip's arm and was now feeling rather foolish. She had just caught sight of a loaf of bread and a large piece of cheese, and the solid ordinariness of them had suggested to her that she was in danger of behaving like a tired hysterical woman.

This evening’s sky.

The sky just as sunset begins. A muted blue, behind numerous small, fluffy clouds which are reflecting the orange-pink of the setting sun.

Lou@loulise· Mar 13

This afternoon’s sky.

Looking up at the sky above houses and trees. The sky is blue behind almost transparent, grey clouds. A vivid rainbow arches from one side of the view to the other.

Lou@loulise· Mar 8

We’ve reached the stage where some of the boy’s outgrown/out of favour stuff actually fits me. 😬

Lou@loulise· Mar 2

Tonight’s sky.

A bare tree against the night sky. The sky is cloudy, lit from behind by the moon which is just visible through a small gap in the cloud behind the branches.

Lou@loulise· Feb 20

The evening’s sky.

A moody twilight sky. Above roof tops, thick dark grey clouds reach upwards into a clear sky. There is a bright,thin crescent moon.

Lou@loulise· Feb 9

That’s lovely. For some reason it’s just triggered a memory of having something very similar to this on the top of our garden shed when I was little. 😊

Google image of a plastic garden weather/wind vane. A model of a man holds an axe with both hands above a block of wood - wind turns the sales which makes him raise and lower the axe to shop the wood.

Just head out past Progressive British Voices and look for the turning before you get to British Left Wing Politics.

Close up of the previous image - a square full of blurry green dots and the labels British Progressive Voices at the top right and British Left Wing Politics at the bottoms left.

I’m over here! What do you mean you can’t see me?!

This afternoon’s sky. Lighter still…

Buildings and bare tree tops silhouetted against a late afternoon sky, just before sunset. The sky is largely blue with a few grey clouds.

Lou@loulise· Jan 28

This evening’s sky.

A cloudy, moonlit sky viewed through bare tree branches. There is a lunar halo around the moon.

Lou@loulise· Jan 13

This afternoon’s sky. Not completely dark at home time any more.

Roof and tree tops in the twilight. The last remaining daylight is just visible between the buildings, and the glare of an unseen street light cuts across the image.

Lou@loulise· Jan 5

Got home from work to this find this outstanding piece of artwork on the driveway! 🤣

Classic cock n balls graffiti drawn in the snow.

Lou@loulise· Jan 4

This afternoon’s sky.

A pale blue sky above roof and tree tops, some of the wispy clouds are coloured red by the setting sun.

Made the mistake of emptying out the boy’s pencil case before he goes back to school tomorrow.

An array of lidless pens, chewed pencils and broken rulers spread out on a table.
