Are you a painter? Why do you paint? Some paint because they can’t stop. Others because it’s how they earn a living. Others because it makes them feel alive. I’m a manic painter - I’m either all in, or all out. I have no style - just a touch of madness #art #paint #blueskyart #blue #abstract

Looking through my Mum’s old photo album.. Here she is with her best friend Edna. My Mum’s smoking the pipe and looks like she’s having fun. I guess this was before she married my Dad.. #oldphotos #smoking #fun #free #friends

Just around the corner Mother Nature is humming her Springtime song. Today these crocuses were singing sweetly by the side of the path - standing tall and so beautiful in their fragile magnificence - reminding us NEVER to give up! 🌷 #flowerpower #crocus #springtime

When I saw this out the corner of my eye, I thought it was a dog’s ball.. But I believe it’s a stinky old Stinkhorn. Never seen one before in my whole life! #stinkhorn #fungi #mycelium #fungifriends #fungilove #mushroom

Who lives here? The perfect country residence for a fairie family, or an ideal home for a gnome. Keys in the door.. if you can find it. 🚪 #fungi #fungifriends #fungilove #mushrooms

I fell out with my favourite mushroom yesterday and now I’m sad 😔 I had to have a conversation with an ogre and I lost my centre. Sometimes difficult days turn us defensive and then we say dumb things to those we love. And I love my favourite mushroom very much. 💜 #mentalhealth #forgiveness

D’you know what? Back in the day, there used to be a tv ad that said “only Smarties have the answer..” Well I think only mushrooms have the answer - we just need to ask the question. 🍄 #fungi #fungilove #fungifriends #enlightenment #consciousness

In these days of such overt unkindness and greed, I think in order to keep some kind of sanity we need to keep things simple and local. Study what’s close by, cherish it, share it, celebrate it. Love is everywhere - we just need to be open enough to see it. #fungi #love #justbekind #nature

Don’t you just LOVE a Fly Agaric chilling in the Ivy? 🍄 They come and they go and you have to strike it lucky to catch them.. Where will they show themselves next? #fungi #mushrooms #nature

I really love mushrooms. These do look like a shroomy village inhabited by fairies. 🧚 #mushrooms

Wordpress daily prompt: What makes a good leader? I said.. ‘Someone who earns people’s respect.’ But I can’t think of any examples of that right now, so my only conclusion is all the good ones must be dead. #politics

Hi BlueSky.. First there was MySpace, and I liked it a lot. But suddenly everyone disappeared overnight.. Why? Coz along came Facebook, which didn’t take too long to become a toxic brew. Then Twitter morphed into the same, and now Instagram.. so I’m sad. Is this platform any better? 🤞
