GULL'S WING

Feather on wing of dead gull.



You may like to know - that now I have a new laptop I am able to blog again
so posts are resumed on Loose and Leafy too.

This picture belongs to April 2016. I'm putting it where it's supposed to be so apologies if you receive this in your inbox twice.

NO ENTRY

The red of the back of a No-Entry sign against the blue of the sky

And sky.
When I took this picture I was thinking the red was the back of a 'No Entry' sign. Now I wonder why it has a straight edge. Will need to go back to check!

NOTHINGNESS WHILE THE WORLD TURNS



Sometimes something happening is such a common sight that even though it's of other people being brave, working hard, moving fast - the ordinariness of it gives it the appearance of nothingness and that nothingness is welcome and gentle.

This is not expressed well but perhaps a short video gives the idea.

It's specially for people who don't live near the sea.

(While my other blog, Loose and Leafy, is in mothballs, some odd things may turn up here - like flowers and videos. I hope regular Message in a Milk Bottle people won't mind.)

FLOWER

Plant with yellow flower; grass and sea beyond.

While my other blog, Loose and Leafy, is in abeyance, I'll be including some pictures here which I might otherwise have posted there. Message in a Milk Bottle is largely a flower-free zone but this is one of the things which will have to be relaxed for a while.
