I don't like the way my cooker looks at me. #photography #photooftheday
A 1980s cooker in low light. Possibly sentient. If so, definitely evil.

A Calico cat on a chair. Hungry, as ever. An abandoned car in a frosty field. Close-up of vivid atelier shirts. Apples and pears sunbathing.

Feel for these authors, but resistance to AI is always to be applauded. Especially with book covers, and especially at a time when book cover designers are doing such stellar work.
A book stand full of gorgeous covers. Waterstones in Leeds.

Bit leached-of-all-coloury out there. #photograph #photography #photooftheday
Two black horses on a scrub of farmland. A tree in the mist, slightly apart from it's fellows. A country trail disappearing into a distance not worth exploring. Two sheep on a Yorkshire moor. Seemed reasonably happy.

She was an inquisitive, ardent horse; the kind not compelled by the starter-gun clap of competition but by the collection of friends and sugar on open palms. #photography #photooftheday

Nice hike around Dolgellau in Wales. Not once did I consider reciting any Robert Macfarlane passages, I promise. #photography #photooftheday
A view out over a Welsh inlet near Dolgellau. A wooden gate set within a dry stone wall. A Welsh cottage set within hills and with a dry stone wall leading up to it. A section of a Welsh waterfall.

Your cells die after seven years,
but
your body will remember
this
little opening of warmth
for as long as you exist.
Perhaps longer.
