Sleeping in daylight,
Fibrous point ovals become,
Molluscs night playground.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them.

Memorial cross for Dad - my soldier
Royal Logistics Corps
1938 - 2024 - his light shines on.

Rats dream, and grind their teeth too!

Rocky loves to cuddle up and sleep with his hooomans.

Beaver super moon,
Casts wide buttery brilliance,
Spreading Cornish trees.

A bedraggled autumnal HALF Cuckoo Pint!

A tea made from this plant was believed to increase fertility, one could get pregnant just by looking! Also known as Lords & Ladies, for full bloom shape. Its pollen named Fairy Lamps for slight ethereal glow in dark.

Carp, Warm, Breath

Carp suspend in shadow,
Warm day attracts surface meet,
Bate breath less disturb!

Moths need darkness to thrive 🖤

But globally, light pollution is increasing by 10% a year, and these vital nocturnal pollinators need our help.

Find out how you can provide a haven for moths where you live by creating Moon Meadows 👉 butterfly-conservation.org/moon-meadows...

He abandoned her before Death’s breath.

His pride did not hide,
Seven deadly sins, hollow,
She could not follow.

Laying torn in pain,
struck by scorn in silent war,
heard faint tune from coppered horn~

"Everything you love matters as self scatters~
when battles thought fought reveal true tattered banners.

Your blood, sweat and tears, amidst unwitnessed fears, are enough."

Tangled lines loosen,
Kite soars above foggy dew,
Small hands feel power.
