Suburban lights flicker like candles, as the wind chases itself along streets, over roof tops, through cracks, tormenting trees in the sunless hours Ghostly clouds slink above, against a dark, star flecked canvas Winter is being chased away, Spring impatient to gain the throne #Verse #poetry

Grey/white clouds in a dark night sky.

Text of poem:

Suburban lights flicker like candles,
as the wind chases itself along streets,
over roof tops, through cracks,
tormenting trees in the sunless hours

Ghostly clouds slink above, against a
dark, star flecked canvas

Winter is being chased away,
Spring impatient to gain the throne

Do not run educacioun lyke a businesse. A businesse ys meant to make a profit. Educacioun ys meant to make the future. A businesse ys ther to deliver a goode or servyce to customers. Educacioun ys ther to empower citizens. A businesse ys for private benefit. Educacioun ys for the common good.

Good Morning Everybody! Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is: #PeekABoo; birds peeking out at the camera Alt. is #Finches; any shot you have of a Finch - plump Chaffinch checking if the guy with the camera is still there - BullFinch at the end of dead branch #birds #photography #ECK #birdphotography

A plump, round chaffinch peeking out from behind a mossy branch. The bird is slightly left of centre of shot and is staring directly at the camera so that its pinkish red front and breast and pink head with blue-grey cap are visible. The light is coming from the right and the feather detail on the bird can be seen. 
The bird is perched on a mossy willow trunk and the light green moss takes up the entire foreground. A vertical branch to the left of the frame is also covered in moss and the bird is partially hidden behind this. 
The background is out of focus branches, moss, dark and light patches.
