A miscellany from a wet Sunday walk.

We had unexpected sunshine!

Happy wet Wednesday.

Good morning.

Flowers, fungi, feather…

Happy Sunday. It’s good weather for moss and lichen!

Good morning.

@getskyscraper.com I’ve been using Skyscraper. I use my iPad mostly in portrait mode, and keep the sidebar hidden. Every time I open the app, the sidebar is showing and I have to remove it. It’s not a major thing, but it would be nice for the app to reopen with the display as it was when I left it.

I released an alternate client for Bluesky called Skyscraper a few weeks back and I have full iPad support. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/skyscraper-for-bluesky/id6754198379 App is free, give it a go! Has post drafts, trending hashtag, and more.

I finally put some paint on paper again! (This is watercolour paper, not the printmaking paper I tried yesterday.) About A6 size.

Happy Sunday.

Is there a nice iPad app for Bluesky these days?

Good morning.

From this morning.

I’ve never been fussed about New Year’s Eve, but there’s no point in going to bed till the fireworks stop disturbing the dog.

Good morning.

I didn’t have much time for crawling on the ground this morning because I had to do boring shopping.

Small worlds.

Views, studies & observations working out ideas

Good morning.

Little stick frand. (Kindly named by @stellagarp.bsky.social )

I’m quite glad to have today more or less done with. The whole business is a bit ludicrous. I feel its weight even though I ignore most of it.

An excellent choice from Father Christmas.

For @paulaflucas.bsky.social

Peace and joy.

The final baking session. Cardamom buns — one each for Christmas morning, and the rest over the following weeks/months. They’re in the freezer now, and will be taken out to thaw and rise overnight, ready for baking in the morning as needed.

Happy solstice.

Day twenty of #ArtAdventCalendar Here’s a pair of miniature woodcock (made out of clay) reading all about themselves in my Observer’s Book of Birds.

The last biscuits. Gevulde speculaas (almond paste filling).
