A filefish, doing whatever filefishes do. Either Acreichthys tomentosus (bristle-tailed filefish) or Pseudomonacanthus macrurus (strapweed filefish). But filefishes can generally change colour, at least somewhat, so it's tricky.

What. A. Day. 🌹
Never have I enjoyed walking in the wet more.
Superb visit to David Austin Roses. It was VIP treatment all the way.
Tours of the selection and breeding beds, the precision sorting and packing process, plus a guided walk around the awesome rose garden.
Wowzers! 🥳

"Many haws, many sloes, many cold toes!"
Old country wisdom says that an abundance of hawthorn berries and sloes in autumn is a sure sign of a cold winter to come. Have you seen a plentiful crop of haws and sloes in the hedgerows near you?

How do I handle the chaos? 🥺 I create my own tiny, ordered worlds. 🖤 a 4-day journey is my sanctuary: selecting papers, soft soldering the glass frames, intricate hand-stamping and painting, and a final resin seal. Art is protest. #softsoldering #handmadejewelry #zette #sacredvandalism
