Eine Krähe, ausgerichtet zur linken Bildseite, auf einem Ast Im Baum. Sie hat den Kopf gesenkt, und die unteren Schwanzfedern nach vorn, an den Ast gezogen. Im Hintergrund unscharfes Grün.

Hier eine Krähe in Seitenansicht.
A bald eagle flew fairly low over my head today, and the shadow it cast made me instinctively duck a little. I promise you there is no bird alive who can hoist me. Something very primal and primitive made me react. Fascinating. Some parts of our brains do still run on automatic.
What's your sign?
few things are more shattering than looking around for your cup of coffee only to remember that you've already finished it

On a scale of one to Molly Ringwald’s prom dress, how disappointed were you?
To relieve the stress of current world insanity I had to do a Willow Warbler on bramble, coloured pencil 🤷

I haven't read it myself, but if you've read The Shining, I know some people have read Doctor Sleep (a sequel I think) and rated it highly. There's a film too (which I also haven't seen, yet 🤔)
Ooh, yes please :)

Not every intense feeling is #lightning. Sometimes it's a smoulder—discarded ash between floorboards, or a bit of candle, not quite out. A slow burn. It grows, spreads, until one day you stand helpless before your door & an untameable conflagration spits in your face like a star exploding.
Concerned that I'm not worrying enough

On this day: March 9, 1981. Forty-five years ago today, Prince performed at Sam’s for the first time. Sam’s was renamed First Avenue less than a year later. “Dirty Mind” had been released in the fall of 1980. After this show, Prince would go on to play 10 more times at the venue during his career.
I'm thinking about building me a nuclear bomb shelter. Thinking a tipped over metal trashcan with a handwritten "go away" sign will work.
Apropos Women's History Month...
What's considered to be the first novel ever written (around 1010) was penned by a Japanese author and Poet; a lady named Murasaki Shikibu. Just a fun fact to bring up the next time a guy tries to mansplain literature.

Vol, he hungers.
Working on a playlist of potential interest to no one on a streaming service no one else uses. Still I persevere.
Blowing up oil refineries in a city of 10 million people that is already suffering climate-crisis-induced water shortages and ecological catastrophe is breathtakingly evil.

Read this one aloud, friends!
I must watch this. The two films I've watched after you've mentioned them here (Devil Doll, and Carnival of Souls) were both great.
Even managed to squeeze a film in.
Eye Of The Cat (1969)
One, two, three, four. I declare a thumb war.

This vibrant woodblock print by the renowned artist Bakufu Ohno (1888–1976) depicts three red sea bream (tai) swimming gracefully among underwater rock formations. In Japanese culture, the red sea bream is a celebrated symbol of good fortune and longevity, often served at weddings and auspicious occasions. The two larger fish occupy the upper and middle sections of the composition, while a smaller one swims near the craggy, lichen-covered rocks at the bottom. Ohno’s mastery of the shin-hanga style is evident in the delicate color gradations on the fishes' scales, which transition from a deep, rosy red near the fins to a pale, silvery pink along the bellies. Tiny blue speckles adorn their backs, mimicking the natural shimmer of the species. The surrounding water is rendered in a soft, atmospheric cream tone, with delicate white tubular sea anemones or corals emerging from the dark, layered rocks. The artist’s signature and seal are visible in the upper left corner, completing this elegant and serene study of marine life.
