Moss or something growing on a tree trunk. It appears as a green wash over the bark.
Up to my weirdo stuff again
A tiny fern or possibly a polypody growing out of a crack between bricks in a wall.
More small stuff
A clump of moss on a stone wall, in close up. It looks like a tiny island.
Someone at work said, “I take photos of the moss, too. You’re not the only weirdo” comforting words, I guess.
Pack of seven stickers featuring cheesy expressions of hope. The stickers look like down-homey wooden plaques, but they’re some kind of plastic. There is a feeling of beige desperation about the whole thing.

Solovair!

The side of a brick terrace house with a dark, rectangular passage which is now blocked but has a small oblong open section at the end. The opening is in deep shadow with a sharp angle of sunlight on the interior wall. A patchwork of tarmac pavement and double yellow lines run along the road. A dark black vertical down pipe on the wall and the lower half of a window above the ‘entry’.

Jeff Bezos is one of the richest men in the world. This is how he allows his workers to be treated.
