I can’t remember which Blueskyer remined me that staircases are liminal, like bridges and crossroads, and therefore favourable for hauntings. There are many #haunted examples – such as the one where the famous Brown Lady of Raynham, #Norfolk, was maybe photographed in the 1930s. [More #SpookySunday

Illustration of phantom / ghoul with green head scarf / veil with a red face, black eyes and a bristly nose and chin, it’s a head portrait with cloudy mist…ectoplasm under its head. 👻

I love that an owl always looks annoyed enough to yak an owl pellet at the photographer.

Owl of the Day: Barking Owl 📷 Mat Gilfedder

Photo of owl perched on a branch, description from ebird: ‘Medium sized gray-brown owl with white underparts heavily streaked brown. Favors edge habitats and often roosts near creeks in woodlands. Feeds on small to medium sized mammals. Known for its diagnostic ‘woof-woof’ call which sounds like a dog barking.’

Just a Bear and his paper ball. I love how the fur on his head is tufted against a spindle. My favourite part is his feet in the air. He’s lying under a duvet cover that was drying on the top of the staircase on the landing. He likes paper balls to be shot up to him.

Photo of The Bear lying on part of the landing, on his back, head between spindles next to a paper ball.

Photo of Bear on his back, spotty tummy, legs in air.

#BookWormSat The Passing of Autumn by Archibald Lampman. This text is from a 1905 reprint of The Poems of Archibald Lampman (1900).

The Passing of Autumn

The wizard has woven his ancient scheme;
A day and a starlit night;
And the world is a shadowy-pencilled dream
Of colour, haze, and light.

Like something an angel wrought, maybe,
To answer a fairy's whim,
A fold of an ancient tapestry,
A phantom rare and dim.

Silent and smooth as the crystal stone
The river lies serene,
And the fading hills are a jewelled throne
For the Fall and the Mist, his Queen.

Slim as out of aerial seas,
The elms and poplars fair
Float like the dainty spirits of trees
In the mellow dreamlike air.

Silvery-soft by the forest side—
Wine-red, yellow, rose—
The wizard of Autumn, faint, blue-eyed—
Swinging his censer, goes.

What shall I do with the people? The day said, the day said. Stuff them with apple and blackberry pie – They´ll love me then till the day they die. Then came this day and he was autumn. His mouth was wide And red as a sunset. His tail was an icicle. 4/4

I´ll hang out pork for the brave tomtit. And what shall I do with the seed? The day said, the day said. Bury it deep, see what it’s worth. See if it can stand the earth. 3/4

And what shall I do with the sun? The day said, the day said. Roll him away till he´s cold and small. He´ll come back rested if he comes back at all. And what shall I do with the birds? The day said, the day said. The birds I´ve frightened, let them flit, 2/4

Well, it’s not a good photo, but it was my phone and a distance away. I just appreciate a cormorant regardless! 😊
