#Brambles

[wind-and-cloud]

Text reads :

When the blackberries hang swollen in the woods, in the brambles nobody owns, I spend

all day among the high branches, reaching my ripped arms, thinking

of nothing, cramming the black honey of summer into my mouth; all day my body

accepts what it is. In the dark creeks that run by there is this thick paw of my life darting among

the black bells, the leaves; there is this happy tongue.

Brambles robed in blackberries: an astonishing year for them

[aisphotostuff]

European Robin Erithacus rubecula by Adam Swaine Via Flickr: The robin is considered the UK's national bird. It was voted the most popular bird in a 2015 poll of over 200,000 people, and me2... Found in a wide range of wooded habitats, including forests, gardens, hedges in farmland, and heathland, usually fairly near cover. Hops perkily on the ground, pausing to look around, often flicking its wings and cocking its tail. Also feeds by dropping to the ground from low perches, snatching up prey and flying back up to a shady perch.

Thicket.

She was just spectacularly fun to paint. I’m sad it’s over! I’m learning something: it takes time. Both years of experience and just… hours. I used to always quit on a painting after maybe 3 hours max. Now my standard is 5 or more. Some things just can’t be done in one sitting. I know, I’m sorry. Be patient.
