Au clair de la lune, on n’y voit qu’un peu On chercha la plume, on chercha le feu En cherchant de la sorte, je n’sais c’qu’on trouva Mais je sais que la porte, sur eux se ferma #PaintByWords #BuckMoon #ClassicMono #AlphabetChallenge #WeekDForDark #photography #scape #moon #cloudscape #gift #ECK

A full moon heavily obscured by low cloud, its light shining through a small gap and illuminating a small section. Below the black silhouette of a densely leaved tree occupies the bottom right-hand corner of the frame.

#Scape #PaintByWords #bloomscrolling Summer Into The Woods Into the woods we go Where fairies cast their glow Where enchantments & spells do flow I smell the scent of the giant hyssop Spicy & licorice-y, heavy enough to flop Mixed in with the headiness of wood Somewhere faint where the deer stood

Decided to go for a walk The evening cool after July sizzled to an end It was still light when I left The sky shifted colour but Shadows began to fall Maybe I'd left it too late … A recurring fate #PaintByWords #EveningLight #Scape #EnglishVillages #ECK

My walk starts by the village pub; packed at 9pm, the garden alive with laughter and the release of tension that comes on a Friday night; into the field opposite and the sky, unnoticed by the drinkers, is putting on a post-sunset show, silhouetting trees, as the the meadow gives off that earthy smell, a mixture of grasses, hedges and animals, after another day of unrelenting heat: on t the millpond, past the cottage where a barbecue is in progress with music and loud conversation as more people enjoy the last day of the week and the month. Now the light is almost gone and the pond is still. I turn and climb Spring Lane, which have walked up countless times. Now I struggle, breathless, sweating slightly although the evening is cooling. Time is catching up and darkness is falling in the lane. Lights are coming on … almost time for sleep.

-- Yellow Bug -- Personal #writing #prompt given to me by my friend: Driving + Laughter (July 17, 2026) Ripe: July 29, 2026 #poetry from #EastCoastKin #poet for #PaintByWords about #joy #nostalgia (Edited 8:26 PM)

"YELLOW BUG"
Driving up next to a yellow bug,
I was completely starstruck,
The car itself looked super vintage,
The driver looked around the same age!
I poked my head out into the heat,
My words had to travel through the street,
"I LOVE your car!!!" I yelled with a wide smile,
Thinking that shade of yellow's totally my style!
I love the matte finish of the paint, too!
My aunt used to have one, but hers was blue,
Although she wasn't always kind to me,
Somehow the bug doesn't bring back bad memories!
I excitedly barked, "Are you the original owner?"
My giggle wiggled its way into a laughter,
The lady enunciated with her mouth and her hands,
Fifty-something years the bug's been with this woman!
"Is this yellow her original color?" I continued to pry,
"Yes, she came this way," the lady proudly replied,
Suddenly, the red light turned green,
The cue for us to exit this nostalgic scene,
I yelped, "Thank you so much! Have a good day"
We quickly said our farewell and went our separate ways.

JGGLE & WIGGLE 2
Jiggle a little, wiggle a little,
Blessings are dressed up as troubles.
Jiggle a little, wiggle a little,
Sometimes fresh apples, sometimes giant strudels!
Jiggle a little, wiggle a little,
Monday procrastinating, Tuesday right on schedule.
Jiggle a little, wiggle a little,
Today zero cup of coffee, tomorrow several.
Jiggle a little, wiggle a little,
Under the Buck Moon, the silly wolf lets loose and howls a little!

Several minutes after sundown, the still river's surface reflects the gentle ambient light painted across the sky as opposing river banks meet together on the dark horizon

"I can see clearly now the rain has gone" ... The river didn't exceed its bank: Yesterday you could walk across; today you'd drown... I even like the dark muddy color... Doing' the happy dance.... no flooding! ... #Photography #AlphabetChallenge #WeekDforDark #ImageandVerse #PaintbyWords #ECK

The river behind our house came up but did not come over the riverbank.
It's a dark muddy color... But, no flooding.

Still green, the old Oak By the meadow's gate Has seen, drought before The grass will grow green Again when rain states It's case with a mighty soak #ThickTrunkTuesday #PaintByWords #Drought #EnglishVillages #Surrey #EastCoastKin #PhotographersOfBlueSky #iPhonePhotography #DailyArt

An English Oak, defiantly green despite a drought that has turned the meadow oatmeal brown, leans to the left as if tired from its years of guarding the old footpath that meanders across the field beginning at the village pub. The sky is pallid blue with wispy whiteness that cannot be called clouds … there has been no rain, more than a brief shower, here for almost 40 days. In the distance, hedgerows still appear green.

A close-up photo of Dietes grandiflora (Wild Iris, Fairy Iris) after a rain. Dew drops cling to the flower's petals, and sudden visions of small fairies using this as their own slip 'n slide makes me smile. The background is dense green foliage as the perennial grows in clumps. The flower's face has large white petals with yellow and violet markings.
