Raven spills ink across the frost-bit morn, Wings carve grief where shadows are born. In hollowed pine, hate’s echo dies, A song of ash lifts to boundless skies. Through silence, spirits braid their lore, Kinship reigns where darkness tore Weyekin Heart #poetry #weyekin #poem #writingcommunity

Up to 1938, Adrian Allinson usually spent part of each spring and summer in the Mediterranean. This landscape is most likely Ibiza. Allinson would make initial sketches in situ, and then each winter, he painted the scenes at his north London studio.

A stunning morning for the last day of the meteorological winter ❄️ here in Ely. A little frosty and calm sunrise. The Great Ouse ☺️

Happy weekend! As we enter meteorological spring today, it's time to celebrate the turning of the seasons by saying 'Farewell to winter' with my daily photos next week.... Have a fabulous weekend whatever you've got planned! 😀 #dailyphotos

St David's Day Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Artist: H Woolley (1954)

I'm just having my first coffee of the day and then I'm heading to the garden - the sunshine is making it an irresistable prospect. Cleaning the house will have to wait (again!) ☀️ #bluebells #nature #shopindie #UKGiftHour sarahrobinsondesigns.etsy.com/listing/1709...

🌸🌼 🌿 Welcome March 🌿🌸🌼

Today is St David’s Day. Here is the interior of St David’s Cathedral, Pembrokeshire.

Frost and fog when I walked dogs this morning.

Sunrise this morning. Morning walk sounded like spring.

Sunset as we were leaving Invergordon on our British Isles cruise.

Sometimes I really miss spending my mornings like this.

Good Morning! 😀 We're celebrating the beautiful 'Golitha Falls', Cornwall this week, and finally is another shot of the main falls as white water cascades between ancient woodland on its journey to the sea... It's my fave of the week - is it yours? #golithafalls

The world can feel heavy sometimes with all the bad news out there, but don’t lose heart 💚 There’s always more kindness than cruelty, more love than hate, and more hope than despair. 💗Hold onto the good.. 💛✨ #ThursdayThoughts #EweGotThis

Playing on the farm. “It leaks a bit, as do most old boats, but it is simple to bale out the water with empty tins” (1954) Artist: Septimus Scott ‘In the Country’

I love the shape of this oak tree, the way it is shaped looks like you could have a seat if you dared to climb it, not that I’ve ever tried to get up there myself! 🌲🌿🪵💚🍃🪵🌳 #TreeTuesday #Trees #TreeClub #ThickTrunkTuesday

Despite a wet windy winter, South Devon's Barn Owls seem to be doing well. We saw this one yesterday evening hunting successfully over rough tussocky grassland and in pic 3 flying to a perch with a rodent. #🪶 #DevonBirds

#JoinMeOnMyWalk from Sunday, a blustery and dull day in #Birmingham lit up with floral wonder at #WinterbourneHouse where lots of colour was popping, including parakeets above our heads. Somewhere I've never visited before but I'll certainly be back. @photohour.bsky.social #positivity #joy #vitamin
