Managed a spot of puddle bothering this morning.

⚪️ Portal.
Looking down on an oval shaped puddle on a muddy woodland path. The winter trees around and above it are reflected in the collected rain water and a pale blue sky with cumulus clouds. A few golden brown leaves are floating in the puddle and strewn around in the mud.

Knitch-A bundle of wood or sticks tied together
A black and white photo of a small bundle of sticks tied together with a thin vine. The sticks are lying on top of an old gnarly branch that is lying on a woodland floor in Heaton Park Manchester.

quattro stagioni: autunno

cy twombly
“Deep reds and greens punctuated by vivid yellow evoke the turning point of the year which is also hinted at in the foliage, stems and berries that appear down the left-hand side of the canvas. The passages of text are harder to distinguish, although the words 'your blood' can be read at two points on the canvas.The artist's red handprint appears near the centre, as if marking his physical presence in the work. Twombly's vigorous approach turns the canvas into an arena for action: paint is pooled and dripped, encrusted, brushed in thin washes, and pushed about by bare hands.” from Tate

Looking up at a wet washing line with two yellow plastic pegs against a blue sky. A single bright red geranium petal is suspended against the sky, caught on a thin spiders web.

A convex road mirror on a tree in low light at sunset. Surrounded by leafy branches and bushes with some blue sky through the leaves. A golden orange glow from the sunset reflecting in the mirror.

A black and white photo with a geodesic domed greenhouse in the foreground, and a telegraph pole behind with a number of starlings in flight, having been startled off their perches on the wires by something, we do not know what.

Looking along a rusted metal railing with knotted ropes tied loosely to the end post. The rail along a path leading to a coastal cottage with a pink painted exterior. The sea and cloudy blue sky beyond the cottage.

Knap (the top or crest of a small hill)
A monochrome photo looking up a small grassy hill that leads to a reservoir. There was a cyclist riding along a path at the top just as the sun was setting in the distance. The cyclist was silhouetted by the golden sunlight that was shining through the top of the grassy bank.

Looking across a road to a small grassy pathway between houses lined with trees & bushes. An old gate with fields behind. A large old Ash tree in silhouette against a deep orange sunset sky.
