I have the same memory every time I walk past these trees. It always feels unexpected, but inevitable. The memory and the place aren't related but they're somehow connected. Some earlier concurrence between them has left a stain on spacetime. This must be how ghosts are made. #vss365 #memory

These strange specimens seemed to have an uncanny lustre to them, maybe it was just me... #mushroommonday #fungifriends #mushrooms

I lost my phone. I searched under cushions, in cupboards. I even checked the balcony. There was a little bird with pretty feathers, hopping about turning over leaves. I wanted a photo, I wanted to know its name and species, but I had no phone so I just watched. Bewitched by its persistence. #vss365

I had my car keys stolen as I drank coffee. Coffee's on the house. Said the waitress. Consolation. She saw the book next to me. I can drive you to town, after my shift. Even though I could be a total weirdo? She reached under the counter and pulled out the same book. So could I. She said. #vss365

December's mist receedes As the soliloquy of a songbird challenges the bleakness #vss365 #soliloquy #amwriting #writingcommunity

At first i thought it was snow - but no. Something ate its lunch here, a raptor of some kind, at least i hope so... #woods #mystery

Barely breaching the canopy, the noon December sun struggles to shed light on the aphotic forest floor. #vss365 #aphotic #amwriting #writingcommunity

A puddle portal to a reflected landscape where rain falls upwards #haikufeels #reflect

The angry North Sea waves hiss and pebbles roar nothing but white noise #amwriting #writingcommunity

On the train to work a weary passenger looks across at the rooftops and chimney pots as they pass. She watches them glide across her reflected face. Her eye coincides with the rising sun and for a moment she looks like a god. #vss365 #reflection

I was timing the gap between lightening and thunder with my old black digital watch. I used to love that watch as a child. So many years have passed since then yet the memory arrived in a flash. #vss365 #timed #writingcommunity #amwriting

I go for a walk, the destination is irrelevant. It is the feeling of going somewhere that I require. Last night I watched a film and I can't remember how it ended. I still enjoyed it though, somehow. #vss365 #relevant #amwriting #writingcommunity

Sand labyrinth.

If waking was optional I'd spend most of my time in dreams. #vss365 #options

And so time is a lingering archive of being

After years of experimenting with reality, Philip Dick sums it up nicely as - 'that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away' #vss365 #reality

All was quiet in the deep dark wood... #mushroommonday #fungifriends

Crushed by the weight of time A feather is fossilised into flightless stone #haikufeels #crush #haiku #amwriting #writingcommunity

I'm always transported by the smell of pencil shavings. To my school desk making little jagged edge roses as the teacher drones and I crush them to splinters. #vss365 #transport #amwriting #writingcommunity

Now it feels like November

When you extract the patterns, the factors and the multiples all that remain are the Primes. These strange numbers stand alone. A product of the human mind yet beyond its comprehension. #vss365 #numbers #primenumbers #amwriting #writingcommunity

Halloween fog writhes through skeletal trees, withering the day. #vss365 #haikudailyprompt #haikufeels

The first rays of dawn. Jackdaws caw as I pour coffee. Another long day. #vss365 #ray #amwriting #writingcommunity

Listen to the woods. beneath the shroud of silence are strange whisperings #haikufeels #shroud #haiku #amwriting #writingcommunity

Here come old flat top... #fungifriends #mushrooms

A stool fit for a toad. a small toad... #fungifriends #mushrooms

His natural reaction to unseen sounds was to imagine he'd just heard a ghost. He'd freeze while fixated by the mix of sheer terror and the thrill of being its host. #vss365 #unseen #ghost #amwriting #writingcommunity

These ones smelled of old books. #fungifriends #mushrooms

At the age of three, Bertie buzzed with such energy he could empty a puddle with just one splash then heat the water that filled his wellies. #vss365 #energy #amwriting #writingcommunity

Vicky always used a saucer with her tea cup. She'd hold back her red hair, lean over the table then drink it with a spoon, like soup. #vss365 #saucer #amwriting #writingcommunity

So many mushrooms - so little idea which are edible. #mushroommonday #fungifriends

A natural fractal, self-repeating pattern down to the atom. #vss365 #atoms #haiku #amwriting #writingcommunity

A half remembered dream hovers over me like a ghost. It has tendrils within reach that sublimate on touch, like sand through my fingers. #vss365 #hovers #amwriting #writingcommunity

Pity the menial android, wired to demeaning toil, devoid of a break to gaze at stars in momentary utopia. #vss365 #android #amwriting #writingcommunity

Forest foraging for an autumn bounty. There must be 101 ways to eat a chestnut, surely..? #Autumn #foraging

Exploring the Mandelbrot Set. It's like an armchair labyrinth; a choice of infinite paths, all of which lead the same way. #fractal #mandelbrot #amwriting #writingcommunity

An ancient Cretian windmill. For centuries overlooked, whose verve still echoes stopping cars, to ruin my photo. #crete #vss365 #verve #amwriting #writingcommunity
