I see you scratching your head, wondering what I am.
I’m a fricking rock-star, that’s what I am.
Or was.
How’d I get like this?
Well might you ask.
I made a deal with the devil.
Sing me a song of sympathy
And I’ll make you immortal.
Huh! Look at me, slowly rotting, food for fungi.
My word to you: NEVER TRUST THE DEVIL
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
Details from Thursday’s walk… Part One
Butterbur. I’ve never seen it in flower this early. We passed it on the way back. Baked in the sun all day, it smelled divine!
13th January 2022
It’s probably a cherry… but again, flowering very early
13th January 2022
As for this… a garden escapee, has to be. It might be jasmine
13th January 2022
Ivy berries
13th January 2022
Mr Blue Tit… singing its heart out
13th January 2022
Ode to a Tenacious Leaf!
13th January 2022
Alder cones & catkins… love that tree
13th January 2022
I swear, these are the cleanest cattle I have ever seen. Had to take a photo
13th January 2022
Song thrush… singing
13th January 2022
Goldfinch… not intentionally hiding
13th January 2022
More tenacious leaves. Possibly field maple
13th January 2022
Hazel catkins. Spring has arrived on the East Coast! (But winter can hit us at any time)
13th January 2022
Hope these photos have helped to brighten your grey winter days. They certainly delighted me. More next week
Thursday 13th January the bus takes us to Acle. We arrive with the sun
13th January 2022
And head down the path to Upton (the sun follows us as we pick our way around the muddy puddles)
13th January 2022
13th January 2022
Every time I do this walk, I take a photo (at least one) of Fishley church. This morning it’s especially enchanting, softened by the mist
13th January 2022
And caught in the golden rays of the early sun
13th January 2022
The path takes us over fields…
13th January 2022
As we near the water, this mist lies thicker
13th January 2022
The overnight rain shatters the sun’s rays and this becomes a magical place
13th January 2022
13th January 2022
In the distance, a windmill, once used to regulating water flow
13th January 2022
Upton Boat Dyke… everywhere else in England a dyke = a bank. In Norfolk it’s a ditch dug out to connect village and the river
13th January 2022
Leaving the village…
13th January 2022
And the other kind of mill, once used for grinding grain
13th January 2022
That’s all for today, but that’s not where the walk ends. I’m leaving the second part for next week. Hope you enjoyed

What, you think me your slave?
That all you need do is raise your hand and wave?
Well, I say not a chance, so just behave
Go into a sulk, retreat to your cave.
34 words written for Sammi’s Weekend Writing Prompt: Cave
Remember spring? With trees barely green, with flowers yellow and birds that sweetly sing.
Remember summer? When the sap was rising strong in you, never known a hotter lover.
Remember autumn? When that virus came and swept you up. I thought you taken. I mourned the loss.
But I welcome winter… you’re delivered back to me.

2nd January, we begin our beach-walk beneath heavy clouds. We catch a shower but then it’s done. And the clouds… (see Sunday Picture Post). Then this…
2nd January 2022

And in the raking rays, a chance at “beach photography”

2nd January and we decide on a beach-walk. We leave home early in the hope of catching the sunrise. Oh, but the rainclouds are gathering. We don’t call off. Here’s what we see…

I’ve shown the photos in the order taken. This post might be subtitled, Anatomy of a Clouded Sunrise. And as you can see, the sun did climb above the clouds. I’m saving those shots for Tuesday. Hope you enjoyed.
