Good morning bluesky Well done on making it through another week! ⛅ Starting with a variant from yesterday's "arroyo desert rain" prompt :) #synthart 🌵

I'm really trying to adjust to single life again after cancer took my wife and it still doesn't seem real. She was the biggest supporter of my books, even though it made her wonder what goes on in my mind! #murdermysteries #darkthrillers #psychological www.amazon.com/stores/autho...

The Swedish ship Vasa. She sank shortly after launch in 1628, but thanks to the conditions in the Baltic, which is tide free and has brackish water, her hull was almost perfectly preserved when raised in 1961. #SwedishNavy #Stockholm #Ageofsail

I may have posted it before but in case you haven’t seen her here is my capybara pebble. She had fallen out of an old flint wall in Linton Cambridgeshire & was lying on the pavement 🤎
