@david great pictures!!

@morganth except when the clouds roll in to bring rain for the first time since before MAY.

cannot complain as we got rain!

we did look earnestly at the clouds and know the moon was there

@Altruest yet is the important word.

there is both hope and intention.

Here's to the beginning of the dancing

@Downes Hooray for a new bike!

(you can always delete and redraft to add the smallstories hashtag) -the delete and redraft feature was added a while back. I've used it for that very reason. :)

@katebowles @ginnungagap @skiring yep it's Mars. :)

@compostablespork wow! enjoy the chocolates and the experience! Hope you get to see the map of brain stuff :) very exciting!!

this is the place I call home.

the green bit in the middle is tidal- this was taken at extreme low tide, at high tide, twice a day, it is all filled in with water.

tonight it is all clouds- you can see the moon on the far left (if you zoom in :) ) Tonight I can't see it, but I am aware of us all watching it.

@verity took my daughter to the beach and I'm grading essays and teaching... :)

@dajbelshaw sounds like a positive action on your behalf. Well done for supporting that person in your group.

@compostablespork we used to run in the rain (playing run, not 'going for a run' and then shake the trees when the rain stopped for a few more showers :)

@dogtrax yes indeed.

and everything smells of woodsmoke. :)

@katebowles been thinking of you Kate. Was it really a year since you were here? It has been warm here, strange warm - we've had seals in the harbour! Lots of fruit picking today. and late night sitting around a fire.

Hope your ground is ok. Keep holding on.

and yes, winter will end.

@scottnesbitt reading simply because you used 'or fewer' :)

tooted with an appreciative smile

It’s early morning train o’clock
The lunches are made and everyone is still tucked up in bed. (Just thinking that would be the worst holiday-type superhero ever. Your superpower - ‘lunch fairy’ ?!)

Wherever you are, wherever you go, I hope your day is a good one. #goodmorning

I received the gift of some wonderful words from @compostablespork and set them to the picture I took the other evening.

They have become both #affirmation and #invocation

#goodmorning
#smallstories

@RussSharek in that heat I hope it's iced tea

@dajbelshaw newly found treasures are the best, especially when you've been on the lookout for them for some time.

@chendricks @robparsons @Downes @wion can’t have everything... we don’t have lightning bugs- my children didn’t believe they when I talked about them 😊

@theartguy yep. and that extra minute is delicious.

@c1t7 if it's water, yes indeed. :)
