Here's Fleur Adcock on top form. Her matter-of-fact tone lends a flat starkness to this poem that suits it perfectly and pares it to the emotional bone...

I'm always amused by the way humans fetishize "walking upright," "tool use," and "language" as the iconic features of a superior species. And of course we ignore or downplay the obvious signs of all three in every other species. "They only walk upright SOMETIMES. Not like a true upright walker."

I heard skylarks singing over Craighill this morning. First I’ve heard this year - they seem early to me. Below is from March three years back (by when they were well into full voice). Whenever though, it is always an uplifting and reassuring sound.. stevedsmart.wordpress.com/2023/03/26/a...

Taking a cue from @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social's book 'Landmarks' which lists rare words describing landscape, light and weather, I made a small portfolio of images trying to capture aspects seen, found, or felt or experienced while traversing land and landscapes on foot. See.. artsci.co.uk/sds/
