A glazed ceramic teapot and two mugs with art depicting the northern lights along with silhouette figures of a couple and their dog looking at the aurora.

A while back I commissioned a wedding gift for two dear friends from @amyraehill.bsky.social and tonight I was able to give it to them! She turned my friend's photo of the northern lights from their engagement trip into a gorgeous ceramic tea set and I could not be happier with the result.

A cartoon illustration of a king walking a castle hallway carefully holding a small cup of cappuccino while a raging mob is just outside. Caption reads "The long castle walks with his royal cappuccino every morning were quite enjoyable despite the teeming masses outside."

New leaves sprinkled over a bluebell carpet with trees behind and backlit by the sun just before sunset. The shutter speed was slowed down a little (to 1/2 a second) to get the slight intentional camera movement (ICM) and painterly effect on the bluebells and leaves.

I love the painterly effect you can get from just a touch of ICM. More #bluebells from a pretty little wood near #Berkhamsted - my entry for this week's #ShareMondays2026 :)

Goodnight.

‘Then do the clouds like silver flags
Stream out above the tattered crags,
And black and silver all the coast
Marshalls its hunched and rocky host…
The darkened land, the brightening wave —
And moonlight slants through Merlin's cave.’ ~ Victoria Sackville West

In this digital illustration, Howl and Sophie from "Howl's Moving Castle" stand in the doorway of the castle. We can see different skies through different windows, a nod to how the castle travels. Calcifer the blue fire demon smiles from the fireplace. Pots and pans hang from the mantle. The shelves have potions and books. A drawer full of spells and magical things is on the other side of the doorway. Herbs hang from the ceiling. Howl's guitar leans against the wall, and Sophie's hats hang above it.

A beautiful close-up on a fox, image submitted by ronm123photo @ronm123photo.bsky.social‬ for #ShareMondays2026 on 23/03/2026  with the caption: “ Apparently it lasted all of 1 minute and 5 seconds but I had a very special moment with this beauty last week… #FoxOfTheDay #ShareMondays2026 #nature #redfox ##fox #wildlife #mammals #wildlife #ukwildlife ”
I like the composition, the warm tones and contrasts, the concentration in the gaze of the fox, the clever use of the depth of field and the softness in the texture.

A beautiful and simple image of an indoor parking lot by Mark Hetherington‬ ‪@markhether18.bsky.social‬ with the caption : "SHADOWS Something a bit different this week and an unlikely photography location in Penrith. #lightandshadows #urbanphotography #penrith #fsprintmonday #sharemondays2026 "
I love the beautiful play of light, shadows, contrats and lines sublimed by a superb black and white processing, and the movement in that photo. Bravo!

A beautiful cityscape photograph of Budapest at twilight by Adam Clark‬ ‪@oleadam.bsky.social‬ with the caption "Twilight above the Liberty Bridge, Budapest #Hungary #Budapest #landscapephotography #photography #shareMondays2026 #FSPrintMonday " I like the composition which leads the viewer through the entire image, starting from the bridge in the foreground  up to the moon in the top right corner, the contrast between the cold and warm tones, the smoothness in the water and sky resulting from  the use of a long exposure and the perfect exposure. Congrats!

I love the composition with the different layers of fog patches leading the viewer across the entire image, the little trees and landscape element popping out here and there, revealing the landscape structure and bringing some depth in the image. And the soft tones and selected contrasts are just wonderful. Excellent!
