Shadow cooling her fluffs after sunbathing on the windowsill. She's back up there now, glutton for punishment. #CatsOfBluesky #Cats #Photography

A black cat lies stretched out in a relaxed pose on a large round rug with blue, cream, and red patterns. She is letting the breeze, from the open window, cool her tummy fluff. A light coloured carpet surrounds the rug, with a few cat toys visible along the top edge.

Glad I had Bielsa at my side for watching the England game on catch up this morning. Bueno @noscoredraws.com #LUFC

This weekend's pavement art, from the fella, is Felix the Cat #PavementArt #Cats #CatsOfBluesky #Art

Overhead view of a chalk art illustration on concrete featuring a cheerful Felix the Cat with arms outstretched. A bare black tree stands to the left, while Felix is standing on the top of a white fence, his tail is pointing out towards the tree at a jaunty angle. White and blue chalk blend into the background to suggest a cloudy night sky, with Felix's red tongue providing a bright pop of colour.

On a weekend, when weather permits, the fella likes to do a bit of pavement art in the garden. This is his latest creation, number one super guy, Hong Kong Phooey. #PavementArt #Artsky

Overhead view of a bright pavement art chalk illustration on a concrete surface. The drawing shows Hong Kong Phooey, with yellow fur, black ears and nose, wearing his red and white martial arts outfit and posed as if doing a karate kick. He is surrounded by a blue chalk background. To the right is an open wooden box divided into compartments filled with colorful chalk sticks, with additional pieces scattered on the ground around it.

The fella's honeysuckle, transplanted from Yorkshire to the North East, is loving the hot weather. #Photography #Summer #Flowers

A vibrant close-up photograph of pink honeysuckle flowers blooming on a leafy vine in a sunny garden. The image is taken from a low angle, showing bright magenta tubular petals stretching outward against a vivid blue sky with scattered white clouds. Green leaves and twisting branches fill the foreground, while a tall palm-like tree, wooden fence, and part of a brick building appear softly in the background. The scene feels warm and summery, with strong natural sunlight enhancing the rich colors and sharp details of the flowers and foliage.

I love getting surprise book mail. I'd totally forgotten that I'd pre-ordered this last year, the second book in Alan Moore's Long London series. Check out these glorious page edges 📚💙 #Booksky #Books #AlanMoore

The cover of a book titled I Hear a New World by Alan Moore, published by Bloomsbury. It is labeled as an "Exclusive Edition" and described as "A Long London Novel." The cover features a stylized illustration of a rainy London street at night, with a bright red double-decker bus marked "15 Oxford Street" driving through puddles. Two figures, a man and a woman, are depicted running across the wet street in front of the bus, adding a sense of movement and urgency. The sky above is filled with swirling purple clouds and floating sheets of paper, along with small, glowing stars, giving the scene a fantastical and surreal atmosphere. The title text is in large gold lettering, prominently centered, and a quote from Susanna Clarke at the top praises the book as “Shows us something beyond our experience … Something absolutely new.” The overall color scheme uses deep purples and reds, creating a dramatic, magical, and slightly noir aesthetic.

The top edge (fore-edge) of a hardcover book, featuring a decorative pattern on the page edges. The fore-edge is illustrated with flowing purple and pink lines forming cloud-like shapes, interspersed with small yellow stars. A subtle rainbow arc stretches horizontally across the upper portion, adding a whimsical and celestial theme. The book's spine and cover edges are visible, bound in a purple hardcover with a yellow headband at the top. The design creates a magical, dreamy aesthetic, complementing the fantastical theme suggested by the cover artwork.

Colorful illustrated book fore-edge painting featuring a stylized urban street scene with a red double-decker bus labeled “Oxford Street 15,” swirling pink and purple sky filled with floating papers, and a silhouetted couple running under glowing city lights; intricate line art with neon hues.

Wide panoramic fore-edge painting on a book depicting a nighttime urban street scene with multiple silhouetted rats crossing a wet road, illuminated by glowing streetlights and headlights from a blurred car in motion; reflective pavement, pedestrians in the background, and neon purple-pink city tones create a moody, cinematic atmosphere.

My grandparents owned a tandem. This is them in the 1930s on a bike ride to Lincolnshire, approx 40 miles (80 miles there and back) from their home in Yorkshire. I'm love the fact the Grandpa was obviously so confident in his cycling ability that he could smoke a pipe at the same time.

A sepia image from the 1930s. A young couple standing next to a tandem in a grassy field. The woman has a fashionable bob haircut. The man is wearing a sun visor and is smoking a pipe. Both are wearing short sleeved tops and knee length shorts.

Fabulous sunrise at Battle Hill, Wallsend this morning.

The sun is just appearing as a golden ball of fire between the rooftops of a row of silhouetted houses. The sky is golden, pink and lilac. In the foreground is an empty car park and in the midground is a road and some bare winter trees.

At the bottom is a lake with what could be Nessie in it. On one side of it is a blue and red dragon breathing fire, on the other side is a mermaid combing her long dark hair.
