American artist David Popa creates breathtaking masterpieces on floating ice in the Baltic Sea, using nothing but charcoal, soil, and water as his “paint.” His artwork slowly disappears as the ice melts: #AGoodPlace

If there's any Netherlands fans out there who enjoyed those last three books (under the name Elizabeth McGregor), and might be wondering where I went to, here's the latest, available on Amazon !

Here's the Netherlands version for THE GIRL IN THE GREEN GLASS MIRROR, which cleverly mixes the #RichardDadd detail of #TheFairyFellersMasterStroke with the garden landscape belonging to the modern-day central #character.

Another foreign rights #bookcover I loved was the Netherlands version of A ROAD THROUGH THE MIOUNTAINS, making reference to the #19thcentury #Chinese landscape which forms part of the book. Their cover for THE ICE CHILD was beautiful too.

Following on my post about #RichardDadd the #Victorian painter, here's the French cover fro my novel THE GIRL IN THE GREEN GLASS MIRROR. Like the USA version, it also features a detail from Dadd's painting #TheFairyFellersMasterStroke, which took him nine years to paint.

Another beautiful morning swim, sea absolutely calm. Water is a little cooler but still higher than average for September #Weymouth #dorsetUK ##wildwaterswimming

The cover of my book THE GIRL IN THE GREEN GLASS MIRROR. Seems appropriate while the #RichardDadd exhibition is on. Dadd was committed to #Bedlam and #Broadmoor for the murder of his father. #TheFairyFellersMasterStroke (which took him 9 years to paint) was produced there.

Amazing #swim tonight. Sea fog was beginning to roll in and for the first time I heard the foghorn on the #Portland lighthouse. Sun still on the water at Greenhill though #Weymouth #DorsetUK

This remarkable view was captured by NASA’s Curiosity rover from Gale Crater on Mars. Unlike Earth, where sunsets often glow with shades of red, orange, and gold, a Martian sunset can produce a striking blue glow around the setting Sun.

Every single second, the world hands $6,000 to the fossil fuel industry in subsidies. That’s $5 TRILLION every year. Renewables? Barely a fraction of that. We are literally paying to cook our own planet. When does this madness stop? 🌍💸 #ClimateCrisis #FossilFuels

Why leave a book review? Leaving a review benefits both the author and potential readers. Each book review brings awareness to that book. Potential readers may appreciate your thoughts. It's easy and takes a few minutes.

After being scorched and cooled, the colours in the garden are an interesting kaleidoscope. I rather like the crisped pale hydrangeas that are supposed to be deep pink. I drench them occasionally but they are still thirsty. Not surprising in 35C #hydrangea #garden #gardenersworld #colour
