Loved I was able to make cover art for my micro-chap: 'Resident Erratic' a prose poem, pubbed by @ghostcitypress.bsky.social in 2023. Original hare photo is mine too. Pdf chapbook can be downloaded (free, or with donation) from here:

#poetry #ScottishArtists
The cover of a chapbook - It is pink with black printing of a hare running legs outstretched, head seen from the side with a wide white bullseye eye. Black old style text on a white centred rectangle at the bottom of the cover, reads -RESIDENT ERRATIC, F. E. CLARK

#FromMyWalk today: trees, bird, hill; road. Colder again. Did the miles, took the photo--glad to go home.
#Photography #Diary #Scotland #VirtualSpine #Walk1000miles
Landscape with trees in the foreground and a blue hill with white snow patches on the horizon, above the black silhouette of a bird, and grey blue cloud. Wet tarmac road with snow lying at one side and a pothole on the corner.

#FromMyWalk today: last year's stems and seed heads; corner of the wood and hill in the distance. The thaw continues, bringing with it other problems...
#Diary #Photography #Walk1000Miles #VirtualSpine #Scotland
Three old stems coming up through the snow, green grass showing around them. Fields with snow lingering, stubble and green grass, the edge of a wood plantation, in the distance a pale hill with snow and trees on it. Grey sky.

#FromMyWalk today: thaw-flood. Then, later, accidental bird.
#Diary #Photography #walk1000miles #Scotland
Blue sky reflected in puddles of snow-thaw and track. Silhouette on an orange wall that looks a bit like a bird.

#FromMyWalk today: Looking out at the hill, the path, the sheep. More snow wandering, more snow falling, more snow forecast.
#Photography #Diary #Scotland
A snowy, blue and white photograph of trees and woodland and a path leading up between two hills. A path walked into a blanket of snow. Tracks leading up to a flock of sheep, they look yellow against the new white snow. Shadows of trees across the foreground of the photo are blue. The sky is pale blue, trees in the distance deep green and aubergine in colour.

#FromMyWalk s in 2025: bling 😆 ; V&A Dundee, RSS Discovery masts, rail bridge in distance. I'm not really so sporty 🤣 , but I did a couple of walking challenges this year, and ended my 1000 miles on return walk across the Tay Bridge in Dundee.

Finished late last night, following a trail cast out by Jenny Graham. Fascinating, heartbreaking, and written with such clarity. I circled back and also enjoyed the two intros and foreword. The Worst Journey in the World, by Apsley Cherry-Garrard. 🖤

#FromMyWalk today: river, bridge; waxing gibbous.
#Photography #Diary #walk1000miles #Scotland
Looking up a river to a bridge, there are trees on either side of the water, some with bare branches and others russet coloured larches. The three quarter moon, white in blue sky.

I've heard from my friends in Churchill that the ice has arrived and the bears are finally heading out to break their over 150 day fast. (this photo is from a few weeks ago) Hudson Bay is still a long way from fully frozen, but at least they can get out and start hunting. #BearSeason2025 #Mammals 🌿
A polar bear walks on the ice on the tidal flats of Hudson Bay. This photo from a few weeks ago shows the water is still open.

From Dylan Thomas’ shopping list to a note from Sylvia Plath’s doctor: newly uncovered case files reveal the hidden lives of famous writers

By Ella Creamer

#books #literature
Nora Summer's iconic portrait of Dylan Thomas. Taken in Blashford in 1937, it was soon to gain an international circulation. Dylanis is wearing a distinctive thick, cable-knit cardigan with a textured pattern, and what appears to be a scarf around his neck. He was photographed from the side, looking downward with his eyes cast down, holding a cigarette to his lips. His hair is characteristically curly and somewhat disheveled. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dylan_Thomas#/media/File:Dylan_Thomas_icon_Blashford_1937.jpg

#FromMyWalk today: sky! Blustery, hectic, burn running high.
#Photography #Diary #walk1000miles #Scotland
Skyscape photo with dark silhouette of broken woods on the horizon, then yellowed sky with darker cloud pushing down, blue sky visible in the centre of the image and a bright flash of white cloud, before darker grey at the top of the image.
