@thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social #PromptCombo - I was left thinking more about what is not #Allowed

#allowed #promptcombo @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social It’s a good day when a) they write themselves and b) they become a mirror of the reality without effort.

Going minimalist for this week's #promptcombo #allowed, hope you like it! Thanks to @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social for another excellent prompt #poems #poetry #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity

Good morning. Cloudy, bright and breezy here today. And a warm 12 already! Let’s have a bright and cheerful shot for our #photooftheday This is my old pond in June. Sitting watching the pond life always gave me a moment of cheer. Wishing you a good day. #scotland #wildlifepond #garden #summer

Hey Paul @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social thanks for this week’s #promptcombo #allowed A bit of a lengthy one for me cobbled together over lunch. Ham-fisted, unsubtle and not particularly poetic, but I might work on it at some point. My 1st husband was very domineering. #poetry #poetrycommunity

Unwhispered Legacy goes live on Tuesday 31st March 🤩 Stay Tuned…

Thank you @janpsolivagant.bsky.social Jan for last weeks amazing stint. The #promptcombo for this week is #Allowed All can contribute. Please use the above hashtags and tag me @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social

Did u know? Some folks express their love of the natural world in poetry, or in paintings (I used to be a natural history artist before I retired). I now show my admiration, respect & concern for nature by creating an outside space that's as nature-friendly as possible. Go a bit more wild.🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🌍🪲🐞🐝🐸🦎

Good morning. A weekend of sun between blustery showers, including sleet, hail, rain. Today is due to be the same. Currently sunny and 4 degrees in the Highlands. Spring is arriving inexorably. Mum always says if you can tread on 2 dasies it has arrived! Have a good day. #scotland #photooftheday

A billionaire can get what they want with one donation to a political party. The rest of us must fight for years to get even the most basic rights recognised. Money destroys democracy, more than any other cause. The first step towards a better world is to stop the rich buying political outcomes.

The global food system is systemically fragile in the same way that the global financial system was before the 2008 crash. If it goes it down, we’re looking, as complex societies, at a potential termination event. This week's column. Please read it. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Scottish Highlands looking very Scottish Highlands yesterday morning.

Morning! Happy Sunday! I'd love to know which was your favourite photo from this week's posts in the #Sundayvote - 1,2,3 or 4? [1 is the windblown tree, 2 is the portrait waterfall, 3 is the square waterfall and 4 the stream shot] #dartmoor

One of the burns that runs through the forest to the sea. This one providing our water supply.

Morning! Finally this week, a shot that I took upstream of Venford falls as I slipped my way up the muddy paths back towards the car.... #dartmoor

Good morning. We’ve just had hail and now the sun is out. It’s 2 degrees but feels colder! Here’s a photo taken at the side of my garden yesterday. I quite like the sky drama. Take this as your cue to gaze for a while. #photooftheday Have a great weekend #scotland #photography #Sutherland

Did u know? Don't ever play hide-&-seek with a ladybird, 'cos they'll always win. 😄 Don't chip, burn or tip the hollow stems in your outside spaces - you never know who's hiding in them. 🌍🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🪲🐙🐞

Snow on the tops again.

Good morning! Next on my week of Dartmoor photos is another shot of Venford Falls - this time a different composition and a square crop. As with yesterday's photo, it's a focus stack to make sure that objects close to the camera were in focus, as well as the waterfall in the distance.... #dartmoor

Bright and blue out there this morning (Upper Loch Torridon 07:15)

Good morning. -1 overnight in the Highlands and currently snowing! Brr. Another Harris archive pic for #photooftheday Harris Hills from Airdhasaig. I cropped our car out. This is your reminder to stop and stare - and breathe - for a minute. Have a good day. #Scotland #HarrisHills #photography

Incase you missed it earlier, I’ve a nice #beach #photo from #Harris doing the rounds today. Grab a minute and stare, preferably an enlarged version. And breathe.

Another #nothing poem for #PromptCombo 😀. Glasses raised for our host @janpsolivagant.bsky.social #poetrycommunity #poetry #poem #poems #skypoets #blueskypoets #blueskypoetry #poetsofbluesky #skypoet #writingcommunity

The 1.5C dangerous climate breakdown limit is about to be shattered, as will the 2C threshold as soon as the late 2030s or even earlier Yet idiots like this want us to increase the amount of carbon we are adding to the atmosphere Pure insanity www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The UK's biggest climate polluter, Drax Power Station, wants to build a massive 100GW data centre powered by burning trees. I've emailed North Yorkshire Council demanding a full assessment of the environmental impact of these plans. Please email them too. www.foxglove.org.uk/campaigns/dr...

A few more from last week. Loch Clair, Beinn Eighe & Loch Maree.

Morning :-) Next on my week of Dartmoor pics is one of my favourite waterfalls - the beautiful dual waterfall of Venford falls - well worth navigating the steep muddy slope to get to it! #dartmoor

This week’s #blog #article is about the public #library We need to fight to keep them (although that’s not what the article is about!) Grab a cuppa and a short read here drnaturegirl.substack.com/p/a-library-...

Good morning. Another cool 0 here today and sleety - with sunshine. Typical Scottish weather. April in Harris - we’ve always had good weather there in over a decade of visits. Here’s Luskentyre on my birthday (not today!) for #photooftheday Have a decent one. #scotland #photography #IsleofHarris

The latest edition of @littlethoughtspress.com is out and it’s a stunner. 🤩 Available here littlethoughtspress.com/issues Thank you Stephanie Buosi for illustrating Benny’s Bellybutton so fabulously! #poetryforkids #storiesforkids #kidlit #writingforchildren

Did u know?What's not to like about letting, so say*weeds*flower in your outside space. They're really just native wildflowers that have long relationships with their partner pollinators,so they're great for our 6-legged friends & they arrive,free of charge - a pretty rare thing these days. 🌿🌱🇬🇧🌱🪲🌍🐝🪰

“This isn’t just about my livelihood – it’s about justice for the lough before there’s nothing left for the next generation.” The slow murder of Lough Neagh—the largest lake on the island of Ireland & across the British Isles—is a tragedy and a travesty. Go go Declan Conlon.

Morning! I managed a trip out with the camera last week - it was meant to be a full day on Dartmoor, but after just two locations, the un-forecast rain arrived so it was cut short. However, I managed to get a set of photos - starting today with a windblown tree at Combestone Tor.... #dartmoor

Good Morning, @janpsolivagant.bsky.social and #PromptCombo #poets For week's prompt #Nothing I offer this wee morsel. Will probably be something longer if I ever get the time and focus away from other projects to look at it again. It is personal, not current. Thanks for hosting. Thanks for reading

Good morning. Bright and breezy here in the Scottish Highlands today. Wish I felt the same! For today’s #photooftheday I’m still in Harris, near Husinis beach with a troupe of Highlanders on the road. Enjoy your Tuesday. #Scotland #harris #highlandcows

#PromptCombo This is what I have to say about #Nothing on a Monday morning. Have a great week. @janpsolivagant.bsky.social
