One thing I managed to do on Thursday was to chalk my eye device sigil on the sea wall so I can see what's going on should I not make it down to the seafront.
Oh, I do have a handful of photos from various early mornings and countryside wanderings though, so sit back and prepare to feast your eyes on almost nothing that you haven't seen before!

| Bunnies! |
 |
| The sun had to work extra hard to climb over this cloudy horizon... |

 |
| Slipway sunrise at last! |

Be good - I'm watching you!
The cliffs and moon pic are my favorite. I really love the sigil too. I don't scratch anything out, I have an army of Spotted Towhees for that.
ReplyDeleteHow did I get to be first? Whoo hoo!
I'd never heard of towhees before, but having looked them up, aren't they lovely little birds?! Such distinctive colours (my favourite jumper has stripes of the same colours).
DeleteWhat's a jumper again? Pants? Sorry. I like watching the towhee do its distinctive two-footed hop-rake movement. Sometimes it will be hanging out with other small birds like Juncos and Chickadees and then do something, to suddenly startle them. I see no other reason for it to do this other than for its own amusement.
DeleteI looked it up, you mean sweater. When I first hear the word I think overalls, but then I think, eh, I don't see a lot of British people walking around in overalls it must mean something else. I'll never get used to that one. A lift, loo, nappy and buggy all make sense to me, but I can't adapt to Jumper equaling Sweater. :)
DeleteHa! Yes, a stripy sweater! Fancy me having to look up something you mentioned only for you to have to do the same in return ;)
DeleteIndeed. :)
DeleteOh! The cliff-crack-drama again!
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine what it feels like to have a rising sun performing a balancing act on the the tip of a groyne... Jx
It might burn a bit...?
Delete(Yes, the cliffs are a bit of a one-note wonder. They've found something they're good at and now do it all the time.)
I have an ointment for that sort of thing.
DeleteIndustrial strength no doubt*, Very Mistress?
DeleteFor the Infomaniac Bitches, not you, of course.
Can the Sigil take beautiful photographs?
ReplyDeleteAnd a word of warning - Do not stand beneath a crack!
Goodness, I haven't seen a clear blue sky for a while! Yesterday was grey and mizzling, despite the forecast saying otherwise, and next week is apparently going to be full-on October with the heating rumbling in the background - I have washed my woollens and ironed my vest in preparation.
Sx
No, unfortunately, my sigil cannot take photos. And I have to prepare myself before I tune in just in case someone ghastly is lumbering past at the time - I don't want an eyeful of side-boob or socks-&-sandals (although, with the temperatures dropping, those types of horror should drop off rapidly).
DeleteYour took my breath away with the Cliffs picture!!! What a beautiful capture!!!!
ReplyDeleteI was hoping to see your full moon?!?! I am also busying myself to get some pictures to you for the garden tour my dear. Where does time go?
The tide was almost as far out as it gets for the cliffs photo, so I was able to get really far back and get a good, wide shot.
DeleteMy full moon hasn't been out since the beginning of August - although, it may be on the rise later this morning as I may pop down for a swim.
I'm glad to hear that you're preparing for the Garden Photos Event. Only a month to go - Eeeek!
How many years have you been working on this list of things to do?
ReplyDeleteMy own approach was revolutionised by deciding not to have jobs to do and only do what I feel like. Thus I have a continual sense of accomplishment and if anything really needs doing I will actually feel like doing it.
If you don't feel like doing the jobs and you can put them off, they don't really need doing.
Oh, I was really stupid and made a list of things I wanted/needed to do, and now I feel that I must do them. Although, I've done some things that weren't on the list which has made me feel better, so I'm sure they have cancelled out the listed items.
DeleteYour way is MUCH better!
Yes the things you did which weren't on the list are the things which drew you. A friend bought a house and even when viewing it thought the wallpaper in one room would have to be changed at once. It was still there twenty years later....
DeleteI expect the wallpaper finally came back into fashion?
DeleteP.S. I crossed another thing off th elist on Sunday - I washed (and vacuumed out) Car!
Oh!I love that balancing sun!
ReplyDeleteOur weather's getting a LOT warmer.I'm running around moving some things into shady spots. I was a bit slack with some anthuriums.
Oh, dear... No one enjoys a scorched and wilted spadix.
DeleteP.S. I read that as Antirrhinum, which reminds me: I have a couple of Antirrhinum seedlings in the greenhouse to plant out. They popped up from the pot that my snail-marmalised "Gloriosa" flame lily was in, and it's only now that they're bigger that I recognised what they are.
I don't even have a Gloriosa now. (Note to self: get down to the mangroves when the tide's out and scrabble for Gloriosa)
DeleteOh, don't get stuck in the mud!
DeleteLovely pics all. I can't get enough of crack #2... hmmm... telling, no? Kizzes.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you've got that crack all to yourself, Upton, as Jon's had his fill (or filled it) with the last one.
DeleteLove the picture of the oak tree branches, and the blazing, barred sunrise. How does an eye sigil work?
ReplyDeleteThe oak branches looked much better in real life - the photo doesn't really convey how deep that disused pit is that they're reaching down into.
DeleteWell, I don't know about anyone else's, but my eye sigil is supposed to allow me to see out of it when I'm elsewhere. However, it - like many of my trappings and accessories - is rather temperamental and seems to like blinking quite a lot...
