Looking up at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Black and white photograph, framed by two trees. Moody clouds.

An afternoon with the colour blue.
#amreading
Bluets by Maggie Nelson. Blue book cover. BLUETS 3. Well, and what of it? A voluntary delusion, you might say. That each blue object could be a kind of burning bush, a secret code meant for a single agent, an X on a map too diffuse ever to be unfolded in entirety but that contains the knowable universe. How could all the shreds of blue garbage bags stuck in brambles, or the bright blue tarps flapping over every shanty and fish stand in the world, be, in essence, the fingerprints of God? I will try to explain this. 4. I admit that I may have been lonely. I know that loneliness can produce bolts of hot pain, a pain which, if it stays hot enough for long enough, can begin to simulate, or to provoke—take your pick—an apprehension of the divine. (This ought to arouse our suspicions.)

Wishing everyone a happy Lammas. 🌞 🌾 🍞
Low sun behind wild grasses. Tall white foxglove flower in woodland, with sunlight producing rainbow effect in camera lens. Sun rays from low sun bursting through green grasses and dandelion seed heads not yet blown away. Sun rays through tree leaves at a park. If you'd like better alt text descriptions please give me a nudge. I'm really struggling with brain fog today but don't want to miss them out.

Sunlight between two trees, in an ever so green fern-carpeted woodland, hinting at a doorway.

Bright yellow slime mold on a green tree stump with ferns. It looks like a brain. Closer up version of a yellow slime mold.

📷 Geof Kern, The Tree is Up
Black and white photo of legs and hands sticking out of a tree in a wallpapered interior. They are wearing heeled shoes. The tree resembles a Christmas tree without decorations. Three chairs are visible in the room. The image captures a surreal, unconventional scene.

Bright blue sky with wispy white clouds. I'm properly outside for the first time in weeks due to dysautomnia. It's really something up there, isn't it? If you're reading this I hope you have a lovely day.

Post a picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline
Floating lily pads with various ferns and plants behind. Very green picture. Taken at Kew Gardens (I think, I can't quite remember..!)

Just finished Endless Field by Nguyễn Ngọc Tư as an intro to Vietnamese fiction... oh my.

Short, intensely human, harrowing.
(And printed on the silkiest of pages)

5 ducks out of 5 🦆
#amreading
The book cover is bright yellow with dark trees and a little paper boat. [We] learned how to love our ducks. Hopefully it would not end in pain like when we tried to love humans). But, often, when I saw Dién perk his ears up to catch what the ducks were saying, I jolted up, swallowed a bitter glob of saliva, and asked myself how had we got to this point, so fed up with humans that we switched to enjoying the company of ducks. Night after night, treading slowly and lightly, we would light a lamp in the middle of the flock, so the ducks could see us as we approached and recognize we were not strangers. When I collected their eggs with calm and care, I would sing a random song, losing my breath at some parts as my voice got too low. The ducks were extra sensitive. When I tried to fix those parts later, they picked up on it immediately and stared with suspicion, "Is this the same human from yesterday?" A blind duck snorted and laughed, "Who else? Her voice might be different, but the sound of her heart is the same. Very familiar. Quivering, snifling, as if it was about to drop.." "Are you bluffing again, old man?" "You try being blind like me then you will understand." Suddenly, I closed my eyes to listen to the beating of my own heart.

A plate of tomato, avocado, cucumber, chia seeds, oatcakes... and black pudding (otherwise known as blood sausage). This is bordered by my obnoxiously bright yellow dungarees. Bloody love these dungarees.

A yellow/orange fungi on a carved wooden bench. Is it Chicken of the Woods? It is, right?

Cup of hospital tea on a table. You can make out the Costa label, but I'm not sponsored by them... honest!

the ghost of your mouth

water the ebb tide rose

#vss365 rose #poetry
an Ebb Tide Rose, which is a deep plummy purple velvet colour with a quaint, old-fashioned appearance. They have swirling centres, are long blooming, and smell akin to cloves.

If you see this, post any photo in your gallery with no explanation.
A trolley in a grassy park tipped over on its side. Across and further back is another trolley tipped over on its opposite side. In the background is a path and hedgerow.

Today is for reading.
The book Hawksmoor by Peter Ackroyd, a cup of tea, and an old bookmark from Green Apple Books in San Francisco. If I'm honest, one of the main reasons I want to go back to SF and Portland is to spend longer in the ace book shops I found. If you want to call them about a secondhand book, the number is (415) 742-5833. This ad is not sponsored, but I sort of wish it was.
