The #peek scurried up a trunk and along a branch, disturbing a whisper of ghostly leaves. It paused at the very tip before leaping to a round and round landing inside the left lense of a girl's binoculars, where it rolled up tight inside the blink of an eye before seeping out into her mind.

Justice for Dr. Linda Davis. ICE must be held accountable for the deadly chain of events and the cruel aftermath.

Her memory lives on in every life she touched.

Found some words
Under tongue
Rounded pebbles
Rolled against bone
Ageing old river
Knocking sad songs
Sounds of a deep ocean
Soon to be gone

One pillow stays cool and smooth,
the other creased, heat-dented,
wrinkled with grey-blue discontent.
Morning light hesitates at the seam.
Sheets keep a faint salt-warmth,
a ghost of breath.
The empty side a shoreline at low tide,
everything pulled back,
nothing returning.

My attention was caught by a stunning display of blossom as I was driving home. A cheeky stop for a closer look revealed it was Cherry Plum, gorgeous flowers with reflexed sepals.

A fab bonus from my unplanned stop - this Fox contemplating and eventually crossing the flooded path.

European leaders are now pushing back against the "great replacement theory" and other "White Christian Nationalist" propaganda that JD Vance spewed at the Munich security conference.

Good for them.
