▫️ lost and found ▫️ a wall .. or .. a world

Celebrate #WorldBookDay with a look at some of the most beautiful and unusual examples from the first 100 years of the “modern” book cover, since the rise of publishers' bindings circa 1820: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/the-art-of-book-covers-1820-1914

… worn-out wood with dead flowers … or … a lost seascape and forgotten island … ▫️ small wonders ▫️

The shivering sun of strange times

#blueskyartshow #round #fan

▫️ curb stones ▫️ every day, walked over, biked over, kicked at, run over by cars, by lorries, by builders, by dogs, and by every kind of weather ▫️ never the same - small wonders ▫️

HALT ME A line-for-line perfect anagram of Hamlet’s "To Be or Not to Be" soliloquy.

▫️ one wall - many worlds ▫️

Trapped air bubbles under a layer of ice.

▪️ winter steps ▪️

Early stroll. Those clouds look like paintings of old snow. Two leaning streetlights like cocktail sticks in a pot. A late/early Christmas tree in a window. Am I on the fringes of that passing motorbike’s dream? I break a puddle’s fragile window.

the darkness and the light

@imcmillan.bsky.social so pleased to find you here ian! sending warm wishes for the new year ✨✨✨

Skip inside.

It is possible that I am dreaming right now and that all of my perceptions are false. Descartes

MORNING (Anagrammed Lines) Nature painted this morning as a thorn in untried pigment, a mad night in turpentines, or the turning points in a dream....

& rise of full quiet moon (cold corvid moon?), 1st of 2026 (so long hill & river moon, time of moonlight flitting)

💫some of my favourite wanderings💫 walking through walls - peering into basement windows - bumping into boat yards ✨warm thanks to everyone who enjoyed them and wishing you all a good new year ahead- or, at least, a sometimes interesting one … stay curious …
