Went for a walk to where the fires raged this summer in Wanstead Flats. Happy to see new growth: toadflax, ragwort and yarrow, which together sound like a line from an olde English fairy tale.

Didn't see anything moony but did see a cracking sunset and lovely clouds!

Vestiges of the fires on Wanstead Flats today. Walking on the charred ground I thought of all the creatures who didnโt manage to escape. Also thinking of the fires raging around the world right now & feeling sad about our overheating world.

A dirt path leads to the entrance steps to a tower block. Either side of the path is long dry brown grass from the extremely dry and hot summer.
Paint splatter on a pavement beyond are steps up to a tower block.
Details of the corner of a tower block. There are a series of rectangles from a bin container in the foreground to windows in the background.
View of the two tower blocks across an expanse of grassland, parched and brown from lack of rain.

Tonight on Wanstead Flats. Am I alone in thinking that this spring has been more lush and magical than usual? Also, perhaps things feel more fragile as we sense the seasons slipping out of their regular grooves.

After a day of editing, a wander to the Flats at the bottom of my street. This sunset never gets old.
