SpacewaysFor today's #StandingStoneSunday it's a photo of the Giant's Grave at Beorgs of Housetter, Shetland. These two red granite stones stand guard over a cairn.
Shetland is just a magic place for ancient sites in fantastic landscapes.

Terrible cook apparently - honestly, I just have a bad attitude to that kind of stuff so if you are coming round for dinner best to bring your own.

Mud, mud, glorious mud! There was a less muddy path but I love stomping through as much as I can find. The trails did not disappoint today.
aaronAre you interested in rewilding? Do you have some spare time to study?
Open University are offering a free introductory course to rewilding. As far as I can tell it's available worldwide too.
It's self-study so you can go at your own pace: https://www.open.edu/openlearncreate/course/index.php?categoryid=1655
Boosts welcome.
02/01/2026 - Snowy walk from the house this afternoon on the quiet back roads. No flowers to see because of the snow but we saw some nice birds about. Red kite, long-tailed tit, goldcrest and treecreeper were probably my favourites on the walk. This year I'm seeing how many birds I can hear on walks from my house using the Merlin bird app. I heard 13 different birds today which was pretty happy making as it was a cold and windy day. A tough day for the all wildlife out there.
08/12/2025 - Evening walk after work. Dark once we were away from the houses. The stars were good tonight. Orion is back on our evening walks to the east. Feels like a proper winter night sky now.
06/12/2025 - Lunar fog bow
Evening walk after the rain. It was really foggy out. The photo isn't that great but it's of a lunar fog bow! Something I've never seen before. About 10pm night time with a big moon behind me. Moonlight is interacting with fine water droplets in the fog, creating a faint white arc.

ViolinknitterI love pictures of knitters modeling clothes they made for themselves.
In a world that often tells us our bodies are wrong and gives us crappy options for expressing ourselves through our clothes, there’s something delightful and healing about women (and others!) modeling clothes they made *just* for themselves, that looks fabulous on them 🥹
