#AlphabetChallenge #WeekQforQuotations 🇫🇷🟰🥓
A post where someone describes their confusion at hearing a quotation, later realizing their mistake once seeing the quotation written. I will always love the thought, “France is bacon”.

"There’s sweetness in an apple tree,
And profit in the corn;
But lady of all beauty
Is a rose upon a thorn."

"I don’t think we ask for trouble, me and [Lucy]. It just finds us. It often starts casually, and then something comes loose and starts to rattle, like an unscrewed bolt on a carnival ride."
– J. R. Lansdale, /Honky Tonk Samurai/

Photo: two dogs sit smiling on a trail on the Stones River National Battlefield. One is a large and fury black & white dog (Annie, on the left); the other, white and slightly less large and slightly less furry (Lucy, on the right). They have floppy ears and mischievous grins and are clearly not to be trusted.

"I've got the Sun in the morning and the Moon at … the same time". Well, that rather messes up my effort for #AlphabetChallenge #WeekQforQuotations doesn't it?
The view from my back and front bedroom windows this morning. Have a Bluesky day peeps.

Left photo from back of my house shows the sun in a light blueish sky with cloud and vapour trails. Gardens and houses in silhouette. The Moon, meanwhile, commands a more pastel shade out front with wispy cloud above. Camera: iPhone 15 Pro.

A Common Carder Bee, in reality a tiny insect, appears gigantic in this close-up portrait as it emerges over the brow of a red Persicaria flower, nectaring as it goes. The Bee's black sticky legs are angled down between the florets of the bloom as it moves across the surface and extracts nectar, using its long tongue. One shiny black eye catches the sunlight below its fuzzy yellow back. The gossamer wings can be glimpsed against a blurred out green background. Camera: iPhone 15 Pro.

21 January 2026
Photo: In the Rotunda of the Missouri State Capitol building on 21 January 21 2026, Suzan holds aloft a home-made with blue lettering affixed to a corrugated white plastic material and decorated with a couple of stickers. Its message reads, "LOOK AT THE VIOLENCE INHERENT IN THE SYSTEM!!" One of the stickers appears to be a flower. The other depicts Dr. Who and bears the inscription: "100 PERCENT REBEL TIME LORD!" It would not be unreasonable to wager that Suzan's other car is a Tardis.
