Two dishes of food and an aperol spritz on a beach towel with clouds and sunset behind.
Seagull fly-by, sunset glisk, golden rays across the ocean
An Aperol spritz on the beach, with sun glowing through the liquid
Cliffs above my head, cloudy sky.
Dinner on the back beach. When I need a bit of space, this is not a bad option! Instant happiness.✨ #glisk #sunset #ocean
This Wilfhound @wilfhound.bsky.social is a very special glisk or crepuscular ray (singular) or as one of my sons when he was small would have said: "That's a 'God spoke sky', mum!" Already knew grammar even then, became a professor in English Lit 😊
#glisk from #Undercliffpath
Feuillemort (French) - Literally "dead leaf" in French, it describes the color of withering leaves—muted browns, yellows, and greens blending together in decay. It's often used poetically to convey autumnal tones or fading vitality. Glisk (Scots) - A fleeting glimpse or flash of light, often associated with moments of brief clarity or insight. It carries a sense of something ephemeral, disappearing as quickly as it appeared. Snirtle (Yorkshire dialect) - To stifle a laugh or snigger quietly, often when trying not to be heard or noticed. It has a playful, mischievous undertone. Smaze (English) - A combination of smoke and haze, used to describe a dense, smoggy atmosphere where visibility is impaired. It carries a sense of suffocation or unclear perception, both literal and figurative.
