And this week's winner of #ShareMondays2025 is @dylannardini.com.

I'm about to book a trip to NW Scotland, so I think I'm in the mood for some Scottish loveliness. Love the glimmer of light on the rocks. Congrats Dylan, another lovely image :)

Are you still massively against me breaking into your home and stealing all your stuff so I can sell it or have you moved more towards acceptance?

The best thing I learned from Macaulay Culkin at last night’s Home Alone screening is that his 4yo son loves the movie, thinks of himself as Kevin, and has no idea that that’s his dad. Culkin is attempting to hide that fact for as long as possible

“A tavola non si invecchia.” This is an old Italian proverb which means, “At the table one does not grow old.” It suggests that when sitting at a table with family and friends — indulging in great food and fine wine — time is suspended.

On Jan Dismas Zelenka’s birthday, I’m listening to his Trio Sonatas

One of my favourite composers of an endlessly fascinating period of music. Alex Ross called him “determinedly irregular.”

Finding Minimalism in busy landscapes.

It caught me off guard finding so many of one of my favorite plants, Schachtelhalm or horsetail, in an unexpected location.
