Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch
A night image of the River Thames in London. The river is in foreground, the dome of St Paul’s Cathedral to left, OXO building to right, Blackfriars Bridge across the centre, with the towers of the City beyond. Lights are on in the buildings. St Paul’s and the bridge are illuminated. Reflections are in the water.

Today’s #JanuArty prompt is #half; a quick synopsis of the first half of the first month of 2026, 🤷🏻‍♀️ just one page in this years #sketchbook

#Januarty2026 #ArtYear #Coloraday #YellowThu #alphabetchallenge #weekBforBooks #mixedmedia #watercolor #acrylic #photography #arttherapy
“Photograph of a mixed-media sketchbook page featuring the handwritten phrase ‘ugh,FUCK shit, hell’ in large, playful lettering. The words are outlined in layered neon colors—pink, orange, yellow, turquoise, and purple—over a teal background. The letters in ‘FUCK’ are filled with black-and-white dot patterns. Watercolor washes, Posca pen outlines, gel pen highlights, and pieces of tape create visible texture and depth. The image has been digitally edited to brighten colors and soften edges.”

One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez

The way the body is segmented and can pivot on this hummingbird ornament always reminds me of the fishes Colonel Aureliano Buendía made in One Hundred Years of Solitude.

When my OH died in 2022, a very clever friend of mine took all his ties and made me this fantastic quilt. It hangs, in pride of place in my study.

One for this weeks #AlphabetChallenge on the theme #WeekBforBooks

Raglan Castle, Monmouthshire, #Wales. June 2025

#History #Photography #EastCoastKin
Deep within the castle a number of sculptured books with two candles are arranged on the ruins of a spiral, stone staircase. They have been placed here to mark where the library was situated in the castle.

A puddle photo taken during a short break in today's rain. It looks slightly gloomy, befitting the conditions I think.

Puddle Hunters by Kirsty Murray and Karen Blair

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekBforBooks
#photography #puddles #reflection
A footpath made from rectangular pavers that has a puddle on it.. On the surface of the puddle is a reflection of a power pole and wires, and a tree. The photo was taken in colour but looks more monotone due to the cloud cover. There is evidence of water dripping into the puddle from the trees above.

The Thirty-Nine Steps by John Buchan

From my archives, and posting again because I like this one

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekBforBooks

#photography #steps
A black and white image of steps with a driveway on the right side and a wall on the left. Each step has a safety strip, and there is a handrail on the right. Running across the bottom of the driveway, at the bottom of the frame, is a drain. The steps are leading up to an unseen block of flats. The angle of the sun is causing shadows, of the handrail on the steps, and of the next door building on the top of the driveway.

A puddle in an outdoor car park. There is a reflection of a black metal fence and blue sky with clouds on the puddle. Some markings on the surface of the car park suggest some construction might soon take place.

Fancy door protecting the books

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekBforBooks #streetlibrary
A street library sitting on a brick fence. The library has what appears to look like stained glass in the door, a flower in the middle. The edge of the door is bright red. The roof has purple eaves and the roof looks not to be painted. Behind the library is a frangipani and an unidentified plant.
