Overly fond of oolite, stars, folklore, photography, beetroot, fossils & other old things (& The Fall). All photographs my own, unless stated or reposted. Not the light! Not the light! IS IT BIN DAY?

A double EIIR postbox and a yellow grit bin stand adjacent to each other against a stone wall. In an attempt to make the image more interesting, the photographer has cropped it so that three green finger post signs appear in the top right corner. These feature a walking figure and directions to Toilets, Westway Centre & so on. Thus, the image features red, yellow & green. Sigh.

A plane tree in full leaf towers over a small row of shops.

We're off to meet the London Plane tree in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore - a tree uniquely able to cope with city environments!

And yes, we particularly focus on the tale of the Cheapside Plane!

If you have not yet read NIRA from @badhandbooks.bsky.social by @tomsnig.bsky.social and @jsuretteacheson.bsky.social then you have not yet had the pleasure of meeting Kaw.
This is sad...but correctable!

a stony path running alongside small trees at different angles. with long grey beard lichen growing everywhere. really unusual to see so much.

a stony path running alongside small trees at different angles. with long grey beard lichen growing everywhere. really unusual to see so much.

Peaceful wideness.
Pastoral mildness.
Inside a little outcrop of blackthorn trees.
Every branch covered in the healthiest grey lichen we'd ever seen.

Atmospheric black and white photo of bare trees along a broken down dry stone dyke across a field. Light shine through misty drizzle.
