Put your ear down close to your soul and listen hard. Anne Sexton.

Folklore has it that any avatar of the Queen of Owls becomes her eyes. Every carved effigy, every tempera icon is part of intelligence. A thousand wooden spies whisper our secrets to her. – #CLNolan

I have now created a separate account for #PhantomsFriday, imaginatively calling it @phantomsfriday.bsky.social I'm not sure why I've done this, it just seemed right to have all those Friday posts on ghostly books, art, poems, #folklore, haunted locations etc in one place. Please join the feed!

A building may change purpose from manor house to rest home to hotel to golf club. Its owners may shift from fag end gentry to a limited company of unbounded greed. However, its golden thread is often more than bricks and mortar, its true persistence is in its ghosts. – #CJosiffe #Ghosts

Goodnight. ✨ May we all slumber undisturbed by any ghostly goings-on. 🖼️ The Ghost Story by Alfred Bestall, 1930.

The Apple crusher stone at Merrivale a couple of Autumns ago, ‘The huge rounded stone here, often mistaken for a chambered tomb, is in fact a post-medieval apple-crusher stone, used in the process of cider-making.’. (English heritage), #Dartmoor, #Devon. #photography

We miss these views over winter! That's the last of the @n-t-s.bsky.social #StKilda team off the island now, after a fabulous last couple of days birding to cap off an excellent autumn and an excellent season. Thanks to all that enjoyed it with us and helped make 2025 a special year! 🙏

A young Great Blue Heron circling the lake. Adults have the sides and back of the neck a solid grey-blue, while young ones have some brown feathers mixed in. This one was chased off a perch by an adult.

Do you remember when people used to mash up classic works of literature with horror tropes? Well one of the best ones that I wanted to remind you all of this #AlternateHistoween was 2009's Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Seth Grahame-Smith. 1/

Men assume Pride & Prejudice is a Hallmark romance when the plot is driven by the Bennet sisters’ fear of starvation because they will be homeless when their father dies. It’s a book about money, about people, and those who dismiss it as saccharine fluff are cheating themselves.

Look at how beautiful the night sky is! Al Khazaneh (The Treasury) in Petra!

In 2021 Afghan women started an online campaign to protest the Taliban's female dress code by posting photos of what traditional Afghan clothes look like #AfghanWomen #WomensArt

When you think of iconic movie posters, you think of his work. RIP Drew Struzan, you will always be the gold standard.

My childhood dream growing up in South London was different to other kids. They laughed at me, but I didn’t care I now own the ancient woodland that could only be afforded by me because of my parents legacy It is my immortal memory of them

Abbraccio 🖤 I've been drawing a lot of embracing couples lately

October seems to be going by too quickly.🎃🍂🧡🍁

There are a lot of Long-tailed Tits around at the moment and they are keen to bathe at the dustbin lid but they are not welcomed by the Parus crowd. I might provide something for them even deeper in the blackthorn, where they love to hang out.

Goodnight. 🖼️ Woggle of Witches, Adrienne Adams.

Deadwood is not dead

Autumnal collection, including little owl feather, seedheads & various lovely things that fell off trees. Zoom in to the details if you’re feeling stressed-the patterns in nature have been shown to help our brains relax🪶:

According to a Flemish folktale, a man was walking his two dogs at night when all of a sudden he saw a cat. He threw a stick at the cat because he suspected the animal was a witch. Five minutes later, he found himself surrounded by hundreds of cats who threw mud at him. 🎨 Boris Groh #WyrdWednesday

We don’t line our paths with logs to make them look pretty, we are installing social housing

Hello, #Portfolioday! Illustrator in love with books here. Soon to be illustrating the work of Lord Dunsany. I have the best publishers and authors, would love to work with you in 2026. thomassbrown.com

No wraith way, no corpse lane is ever less than ghost-crowded. Yet just as roads to market or the races are thronged on certain days, as we approach Allhallowtide they become congested by spirits. From distant villages to the boneyard gates and lychgate termini a rush of spectres walk. – #CLNolan

Our final morning on the tundra up in Nunavik - in the Canadian sub-Arctic - was one for the ages! #landscapephotography

A fantastic day's #birding today on #StKilda, one of the highlights being a significant arrival of Jack Snipe- 21 counted, but could've been more. They were popping up everywhere! @hebridesbirds.bsky.social @birdguides.bsky.social

Last burst of light. #IsleofHarris #Scotland

RIP to one of the greats. He illustrated pure excitement.

The whiskers ❤️🐈‍⬛ (Just leant that plural for vibrissa is vibrissae)

This medieval skull, safeguarded by chain mail, belonged to a warrior who lost his life in fierce Battle of Visby back in 1361 AD. After clash, remains of fallen, along with their weapons and armor, were laid to rest in a communal grave, making the site a remarkable archaeological treasure.

RIP to Drew Struzen, the greatest to ever do it. 🙌

The rarest bird of the day was this Curlew Sandpiper. There have been lots in the country this year, but this is just the 3rd #StKilda record, and the first since 1993! Frustratingly flighty with its Ringed Plover companions... @hebridesbirds.bsky.social @birdguides.bsky.social
