Today’s full moon tangled up in the trees.

I watched this by accident. It was on BBC 4. I have heard of Pevsner’s guided, & never really paid much attention. However, I visited Norfolk for the first time, last summer. So, this caught my eye. I really enjoyed the programme.

Yikes! There’s a tailed-humanoid out’n’about loose up the brae.

I still don’t understand why the BBC in particular takes its lead from print newspapers. It would be an act of liberation for them to stop acknowledging Fleet Street even exists. It’s a smaller, more niche, concern than they are now. And fatally compromised.

never gets old.

Pic of a few trees on the Silver Walk, with a view through to Castle Tioram sat on its tidal island. The trees are a tangle of branches and twigs, yet to come into leaf. There’s sea and sky, with a backdrop of gently sloping hills. A path can be spotted at the foot of rock outcrop. #SundayPixTrees

I was out at my sister-in-law’s last night, and her better half played a Black Sabbath track. It was pop music. Nothing more. Nothing less. That’s all.

A tall palm tree stands out against a bright blue sky, accompanied by a few smaller trees (including probably a couple of different pine species) one of which is in flower. In YSL’s garbage* Jardin Majorelle, Marrakesh. As inspired by @professorunwin.bsky.social Monet post. #SundayPixTrees

Almond blossom on a grove of trees in the Rose Valley, Morocco. A few blossoms and young leaves are in focus in the foreground, with a blurry background of bushes and bare earth countryside. This was taken several years ago. #SundayPixTrees

A view across a loch in the hills around Torridon, Wester Ross. The still surface of the water reflects the sky, snow-covered hills and contrasting dark trees. #SundayPixTrees

A short video of (mostly) gannets flying against a clear blue sky at one of the St Kilda uninhabited rocks. These are to the west of the Outer Hebrides. Towards the end there is a glimpse of the seabird and guano covered stack, the tail end of their breeding season. #SuperSeabirdSunday

Ash Wednesday. How attractive is that mucky forehead! As the French say “Soot allures!”

We got lucky on our walk this afternoon.

Tess - Warrior Queen

Speculation on my part, I reckon this field is about to become a house construction site. The telltale signs? The name sign recently added to the fence alongside a new mail box. Then there’s the digger. What really gives the game away? A cat on the caterpillar track. #SundayPixBeginnings

A big lunch out.

Look through a gap between tall, marram grass lined, sand dunes at Red Point near Gairloch, Wester Ross. Across the Minch, view the Isles of Lewis and Harris on the horizon. The atmospheric conditions make the Outer Hebrides appear much closer than their true distance. #SundayPix #SundayPixDistance

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

King Numa Pompilius added January to the calendar around 713 BC. Blame him.

Lovely synchronicity, with posts from @fesshole.bsky.social and @edinburghbookshop.bsky.social

Just read this line in a novel “…a great bunch of people” and cannot get beyond replacing “people” with “lads” and hearing it in Miles Jupp’s voice.

And the same old wrong.

JWM Turner works on display at Scottish National Gallery on The Mound, Edinburgh. These are only ever on display in January, each year. This was the first time I have seen them in this new gallery setting. So much more accessible, than in years past. It was great to see them.

Hey, @drharrylime.bsky.social A short video of Mairi shooting trees in the wild, today.

Looking to the snow-covered hills at the back of Loch Glascarnoch in Ross-shire.

@drharrylime.bsky.social Hello! Here’s a photo just around sunset here, at the end of our shortest day. How’s mid-summer? I hope you’re enjoying life. Best wishes me, formerly of IG & the bird place
