A beautiful, equinoctial morning in Linn Park, Glasgow this morning, Sun heading south, leaves beginning to fall. This poem, attached by @calligraphyoutside.bsky.social to a fence beside the path from the Snuff Mill Bridge, seemed to have sprung from the cusp between summer and autumn

Late summer morning light filtering through trees, still green and leafy but with lots of brown leaves now on the bank underneath them, to the right, and on the path at left

Poem by Emily Dickinson, 'As Imperceptibly as Grief', in beautiful handwriting on a laminated card, attached to a fence in a shady spot in Linn Park. At the top of the card we're told the Instagram and Blue sky accounts of @calligraphyoutside.bsky.social

From "How to Be a Poet" by Wendell Berry, who died last week at 92. On Pollokshaws Road in Glasgow, in front of billboard screens and McDonalds that I don't think he would've approved of, but in front of Scottish Ballet, Tramway arts centre, and Secret Garden which hopefully he would.

Lines from from "How to Be a Poet" by Wendell Berry, written in foundational script calligraphy, by a pavement barrier at night, with advertising lights behind.

"As imperceptibly as grief / The summer lapsed away" - from the poem named after the first line by Emily Dickinson. I'm feeling it today, the weather's still nice but it doesn't feel like proper summer anymore. The walkway along the West side of the River Cart in Linn Park, #Glasgow #calligraphy

"As imperceptibly as grief" by Emily Dickinson, written in foundational hand calligraphy, tied to a fence in Linn Park in Glasgow.

The opening lines to “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost, at either end of the path in to #LinnPark in #Glasgow from Cathcart that’s been closed since 2021 due to a landslide, with foundational hand #calligraphy, #poetry

“The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost, tied to the fence at the Linn park side of the closed Cathcart route in to the Park, close enough to read the text: "
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth"

Poem tied to the fence at the Linn park side of the closed Cathcart route in to the Park, from further away with curved path visible

Epiphany by Margaret Tait, posted at the Queen's Park flagpole in Glasgow to give hope for sunlight to come on a wet and miserable winter morning. I meant to post it last week on the actual day of Epiphany but ice got in the way.
