A view of St. Michael's chapel in the distance across the meadow. Bare tree branches hang o'er and the path beneath us is festooned with fallen leaves. The sky is bright and clear. November, 2025. Wales, UK. A close-up of a fallen, frozen leaf. November, 2025. Wales, UK. A view from the top of Castle Mount, the hills in the distance contain trees and hedgerows. The green of the grass dominates the scene. November, 2025. Wales, UK. Looking back along the sheep trail that cuts through the hillside, we can see Castle Mount, and beyond the hills on the horizon. November, 2025. Wales, UK.

Painting of six figures are standing in a semi-circle on a grassy field. Five of the figures have fox heads and fur but human-like bodies and attire (shorts or skirts and shoes). One figure in the centre-left is a bird with speckled plumage and human-like legs and shoes. The figures are in a field with a line of bare trees in the background under a heavily overcast, grey sky. A small, blue and white toy drum lies on the grass in the foreground.

Daily bunny no.3149 creates life in their image
A bunny has made a haphazard robot, in their garage. The robot is made out of household items like brooms and lawnmower parts, with a bucket for a head. It doesn't seem like it would work, but the bunny is still proud of their creation

Heinrich Schlitt, c.1912. #FrogForFriday #FaerieFriday
A painting titled Froschschaukel (Frog Swing) by the German artist and illustrator Heinrich Schlitt (1849–1923). It features a gnome and several frogs. Two frogs are balanced on a wooden plank acting as a seesaw over water. On the left, a gnome with a long white beard, wearing a red cap and coat, is smoking a pipe and observing the scene. Another frog sits on the left side of the seesaw, its feet just touching the water. A third frog sits on the right side, higher up. A large bee or fly is flying in the center background.

Roman bronze dragon’s head standard, AD 190-260.

Originally mounted on a pole, with a long fabric tube attached to the back of the head. When charging on horseback, the wind inflated the tube and the dragon shrieked!

My photo shows a Roman bronze dragon’s head from a military standard carried by Roman cavalry. The head is elongated with open jaws. The top and bottom jaws are lined with sharp triangular teeth. The top of the snout has diagonal ridges. It has a single round eye socket. The rear of the head and neck is textured with scales. At the top of the head there is a short, jagged, fin-like, upright crest. The bronze surface is weathered with greenish and gold patches. It is mounted on a dark stand in a museum display case.

A large yellow and orange flower with intricate, fringed petals dominates the center. The central flower is flanked by symmetrical, flowing acanthus-like leaves in shades of green, gold, and white, with reddish-brown stems. A border of small, simple orange-red flowers and white leaves frames the main composition against a textured, duck-egg blue background.
