Meanwhile - sun dogs
The sun there in the middle 
with its light catching the ice in the highest clouds creating the illusion of three suns 

Good.

Found a pane of perspex in the car park behind Morrisons.

So I copied horses and ponies from a book about the paintings in the Lascaux caves onto the perspex with a black acrylic pen.

Then I hung the pane from my washing line.

Here - copies of cave horses against an overcast Lincolnshire afternoon.

Meanwhile - in the post today - Hookland Fragments Volume 1 by @hookland.bsky.social - the essay within, Remembering Differently, is particularly fabulous - five stars, ten bones, a golden sausage.

A slim black tome with a print of the ghost bear dancing with stars and bones upon.

Here the book is seen on my kitchen table
