September, and the spiders are busy spinning webs that catch the misty droplets. And fungi begin to appear… Enjoy

It was the tree, not me, who dropped that leaf!

That’s all for now, Folks. Hope you enjoyed these first signs of autumn (a welcome arrival in my tiny corner of the land where it’s been a long hot dry summer)
Sunday 11th Sept, rising early, we catch the bus to out-of-town – and there discover how misty the morning!
11th Sept 2022
That mist makes for a magical woodland walk… pick the pic you like the most

We went on to visit two more woodlands, but I’ll save that for another day
11th Sept 2022
No, I wasn’t fast on focus and click. These droplets are caught on a ravel of spiders’ webs

I swore on that day
Never would I run away
But beat me, thrash me
I would stay
Such a fool was I
Keeping faith come what may
Ever hoping
Praying
That his violence he’d put away
But determination broken, bones in disarray
On my promise I did renege

This is not my story but belongs to several women I have known. My heart goes out to those who suffer. I pray you find the strength to leave
Billy and Trev were training to be special agents. This summer their project was to use the found-environment to pass secret messages.
The railway company were not pleased to discover the theft of one of their signs. But they decided not to press charges when the boys returned it.
Here’s how it works:
Every Wednesday I post a photo (this week it’s that one above.)
You respond with something CREATIVE
Here are some suggestions:
You have plenty of scope and only two criteria:
If you post a link in the comments section of this post I’ll be able to find it
If you include Crimson’s Creative Challenge as a heading, WP Search will find it (theory)
by ‘Searching’ in the WP Reader (fingers crossed)
Here’s wishing you inspirational explosions. And FUN
Late summer seems the best time to take photos of dragonflies and butterflies…and a few berries. Enjoy
Multicoloured Bryony: 26th Aug 2022
Like alien beings, these dragonflies…

Dragonflies…getting it on

And beautiful the butterflies

Comma, wings closed
26th Aug 2022
And wings slightly ajar…
26th Aug 2022
More Speckles…
26th Aug 2022

And to finish, this fascinating water plant!
Branched Bur-reed: 26th Aug 2022
Second stage of walk on 26th August 2022.
Emerging from Damgate Carr the sun seems shocking and all seems open. The path here is lined with hemlock. Do not touch. Poisonous. It grow to 8ft.
Hemlock: 26th Aug 2022
We pass Old Mother Willow…
26th Aug 2022
Where we disturb two deer…. I swing round, camera raised, point, click, no time to focus. I’m surprised I got this
26th Aug 2022
The next few 500 yards or so is between reeds. Love reeds this time of year. They display so many colours
26th Aug 2022
And it’s out into the pastures., and back to the water..

Our pasture is shared…
26th Aug 2022
And over a stile and onto a track. By now that shade is most welcome…
26th Aug 2022
This is arable land with fields that roll gently up and away from us

We leave Weavers Way to go instead to Tunstall Mills. Until these mills were built (early C19th) all these grazing marshes were water-logged swamps for half the year. Now electric pumps keep them dry, channeling the water into drains
26th Aug 2022
And here is the first mill, barely visible. I visited here in 2017. For info on the mills and clearer photos, see HERE
26th Aug 2022
This is the Black Mill, the older of the two. They grow good ivy around here!
26th Aug 2022
This second mill was built early C20th. This is as close as I could get…an overgrowth of nettles deterred me!
26th Aug 2022
And so to return to Acle to catch a bus home
26th Aug 2022
Hope you enjoyed. We certainly did. Photos of details on Tuesday. See you then.

A week after the summer solstice, sunrise was still very early. But I’d been on that beach, pacing and waiting. And I had been rewarded. Now I was crossing the beach, back to the prom to go home. Time to take a few moments to play…

A sprained wrist, braced, supported, over-exerted
A twisted ankle, wrapped and splinted, torn with a slip and a rick
A calf inflamed, iced to cool it, rested, warmed to relax it, don’t jump that wall again
But despite the relief at that final parting
Despite the ease of freedom, still hurting
Squeezed and ripped, a broken heart, no bandage for that
