UK bank holiday weekend hits during a rare mini heatwave, and suddenly, the whole country remembers what joy feels like. But are we really free… or just #tethered to the next grey Monday? Enjoy it while it lasts. 😍💙 #vss365

Our dusk last night was both magical and deeply unsettling for about 10 minutes. The clouds radiated with a warm, ethereal orange that completely changed the appearance of everything- including the otherwise brilliantly green spring trees. . Golden Hour III 12”x12” Oil on cradled wood panel

How's everyone doing? Happy Friday to all my BlueSky friends and those who may soon be one. Have a lovely weekend 😘

The quietest #betrayal isn't the knife in your back - it's the fake smile that promised loyalty while sharpening it. In a world of fragile alliances, who are you truly trusting? #vss365

Have a lovely day everyone 😊

❤️‍🩹The reunion of two loyal friends after a long separation – a Ukrainian soldier and his dog. First, the dog seemed to scold him for being away so long. Then it started hugging him. I’m not crying. Something just got in my eye.

World railway exclusive! A few minutes ago at London, Victoria Station. The British Belmont Pullman now has a fabulous exclusive club and observation car 'Celia'! It's a former Brighton Belle Pullman motor car dating from 1932 with deco interior.

his hooves in the mud we follow him through meadow's memory something #feral still lives in his breath like distant weather before the wind comes his ears already know with one dark eye he watches us approach his mane almost frozen will he neigh again at the world? #vss365 #poetry

moonlight, through dark leaves, shadows on my lips our #luminous loss of senses our soliloquy of surrender do you feel it? your hands our language this liminal menagerie this electric dance. 📷 Pixabay #vss365 #poem #poetry #blueskypoets #poetsofbluesky

The darkness Breaks apart With spheres Of #luminous Light Brought To me By the shine Of your Moon shaped Smile and Lips bursting With wisdom Full words Disintegrating All gloom #vss365 #poem

luminous to dark living to passed on my poetry is paused on this moment this transition has become a tiring tension a tyranny of attention I wish I could say it was all about honoring us instead where I was & where I am create a cognitive dissonance I must write 'til it all makes sense #vss365

Dare to Leave me #feral in the untethered Asunder I’d not survive you hope You forget We’re tethered till sun no more rises Where I go You’ll follow every step every way Test not Chords of true love the need none We are Vice and we are versa #vss365 #poem

Your luminous smile First tulip of spring blossoms My heart turns ablaze #vss365 #luminous #haiku #spring

My father told me #Cats aren't loyal, But he's not The shadow Stalking my footsteps, Or the shield of #Luminous copper Deflecting The emptiness In the deepest Caverns of night When the minutes Are slow. The cat sleeping Peacefully at my feet Tells me what My father doesn't know. #VSS365

Wild enough to tempt the chaos within us all… but never #feral. A philosophical bite, a misbehaving smile, and the sweet tension between civilized and craving. 😊 #vss365

So many incredible stories yesterday, each one a spark in the dark. It was a privilege to read them all. I’m drawn to prompts that shift depending on the light. Today, May 17, 2026 your #vss365 #prompt is #Luminous

In the noise of endless distraction, the #luminous don’t chase light, they become it from within. Quiet ignition beats loud applause every time. #vss365

Morning Bluesky, Happy Weekend to all.
