A raven sits high in the air perched on his home tree’s branch clad in a beautiful red scarf. He wears bifocals and looks pensive and scholarly. In his regal posture, we see to his right his collection of reading which includes a field guide to decent humans and other books in his family’s nest. It appears to be a cool but sunny & windy day as he takes in his lot in life with large and fluffy clouds, moving behind him in the sky.

I love what he’s reading

Writing Tip:
Sometimes the best way to get out of a slump is to open a blank word file and write some trash. Don't worry about quality or even sense. Just get those emotions out onto the page. Enjoy the act of just writing until you feel ready to get back into it.

Because I can't handle the anxiety of having people I know in real life judge the contents of my head, heart and soul.

A serene woodland dirt path winding through tall, mature trees. Sunlight filters brightly through the leafy canopy above, creating dappled golden light on the forest floor, which is entirely carpeted in lush green foliage and delicate white flowers. Several thick tree trunks are beautifully wrapped in dark green climbing ivy. The atmosphere feels peaceful, magical, and vividly captures the vibrant essence of a tranquil, sunny spring morning in the forest.

Following The Wild Garlic Path.

A row of cherry trees in bright pink blossom, with a church tower and a bright green tree, newly in leaf, sticking up behind them, under a blue sky with white clouds.

You can't beat a blue sky for showing off the delights of spring 😍💚

Ever had acid reflux so bad you had palpitations all night & when you finally slept you just woke yrself up snoring & you rested so little that next day you can't do basic tasks & it feels like yr brain is trying to crawl away?

Yeah, well SIT UP NEXT TIME, GOSH.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are sitting with their backs towards each other, looking into opposite directions. Blue looks exhausted and annoyed, while Green is frowning with angry thoughts. Green, thinking: I can't be expected to know what you're mad about unless you tell me. What could you even be mad about? If I ask your opinion and you don't tell me the truth, that's on you! Green still continues to think, but raises an eyebrow as Blue turns around to kiss his neck affectionately. Green, thinking: It's not my job to guess whether you're lying ab- Green, speaking out loud: Aren't you mad at me? Blue, suddenly not weary at all but deeply baffled, looks at Green in confusion, while Green looks just as bewildered. Blue: What on earth would I be mad at you for? Green: I have no idea!

Blue sky with dark clouds on the rooftop horizon, with a strong white highlight and faint rays from the sun behind.

Nice 😍🩵

Two large trays of young veg plants in small pots, indoors on a kitchen table, but with a thick layer of hailstones covering all the soil around them.

Young courgette plants with their leaves in shreds.

A slanting bike shed roof, covered in hailstones except for the circles where plants pots recently stood. Shreds of leaf lying around everywhere.

Strawberry plants with shredded leaves, surrounded by a layer of big hailstones.

A bit of hail around today, so flashback to That One Hailstorm in April 2012 😱🫣 #GrowYourOwn #Organic #UKGarden #AprilShowers #Seedlings 🌱🌱🌱

One view at first light includes both the nights stormy clouds and the light wispy ones of the new day. The calm waterway reflects this with distant silhouetted trees that are hugged by the morning mist.

Rest isn’t the opposite of progress, it’s the essential foundation for it

My wrist, wearing two crystal-chip bracelets - pale mauve kunzite, and Ethiopian opal which is milky white with multicoloured interior flashes - and one with amethyst and silver beads.

A beefly hangs above a purple flower. Its outstretched proboscis ready to drink some nectar. It took lot of failed attempts to get this shot!

With lots of patience and failed attempts I got this Beefly mid flight 😄🐝 I love its super long proboscis (tongue) it can get a lot of nectar with that lickery stick 😜 Beeflys are cleptoparasites of some bee species so their presence indicates a healthy bee population 😄🐝

Honesty in bloom 😍💚🌱

Oh I love it! I was given some gorse-infused chocolate once - it was delightful!

St Michael's tower peeping through the blossom on a very overcast start to the day here in Glastonbury.

Start of Day.

Another day commences and this time on the jetty. Hope yours is a good one... 👌

Close-up collage of a tree fern. Left: a cluster of upright, fuzzy brown stems topped with tightly coiled fiddleheads. Top right: detailed spiral fronds (koru) covered in fine hairs. Bottom right: delicate, feathery green fern fronds spread against a pale sky.

Tree ferns, some of the oldest plants, embody endurance and primeval times. Their unfurling fronds, known as the koru in Māori culture, symbolise new life and renewal. Long linked with magic and protection, they stand as living bridges between the ancient past and the present.

Yarn bombing is where knitted or crocheted yarn—rather than paint—adorns public objects like poles, and benches. Also known as "guerrilla knitting,", it is a street art originally started by women #Womensart

Look at that?! Just look. 😍

Don’t forget to overthink the best case scenario too
