” Tonight my brain refuses to listen when I tell her hush hush…. Tonight my thoughts stay vivid in a battle of what I shall fear tomorrow and what I cannot wait for my future to bring. Tonight my mind has decided to cut out the use of punctuation and large words Instead it has made the decision to stay up and closely study your breathing “
Rest hope you all enjoy amsy work as always ^^
Amsy ♡
A starfish has maybe eight years in the wild. You can find them in the shallow areas of the shore. You pick them up and their breath is your fingertips. You have to pry them off of you for them to live. You have to walk back to your towel and dry off. You have to walk back to your towel. You have to walk back, you cannot leave everything there.
Berry, berry quite contrary, how does your redness grow?
I am all fingernails. I bite, I chew, I pull the skin taut in sucking off. There are words so dirty they cannot be said in darkness. If I were simply a pair of eyelids I would only then be worth my self in weight.
You walk out on me when I'm singing (sighing) at you, and you're wearing headphones so I follow you around. This is charades, and I am winning. (Big Bold Letters.) It is fifty-one million to three. There is no music on. (Pretend.)
There is a definition for desire that uses letters and spaces and punctuation. I spit out sunflower seeds on my car seat. You will sit there when I pick you up from work.
In a world of overground and overgrown I am a well. I am full of shoes and leftover odd-sized carpet pieces. Balloons pop over me. I am a basket of warm, wet guns.
Oeuvre d'art sur le lac d'Annecy.
Out/Élodie
Elsa Tomkowiak (FR)
Six sphères gonflables et flottantes de 4,5 mètres de diamètre sont disposées le long de la promenade d’Albigny et ouvrent le regard sur la grande perspective du lac. Saturées de couleur, elles proposent une nouvelle ponctuation d’un des paysages les plus emblématiques de la ville. Ces formes ballottantes peuvent évoquer tour à tour, des planètes, la lune, des cellules, des bactéries… Le titre Out/Élodie empreinte le prénom donné à un spectrographe, qui a permis de découvrir la première exoplanète et capter les variations du spectre lumineux du soleil pour permettre de retranscrire la résonance acoustique de l’étoile. Dans le monde ancien, l’astronomie faisait partie des arts et on pensait que le ciel s’organisait en harmonie, entre sphères parfaites, pour un ciel en concert perpétuel. Ici, c’est un concert pour les yeux, mais rien n’empêche de rêver et de tendre l’oreille !
Work of art on Lake Annecy.
Out / Elodie
Elsa Tomkowiak (FR)
Six inflatable and floating spheres 4.5 meters in diameter are arranged along the promenade of Albigny and open the gaze to the great perspective of the lake. Saturated with color, they offer a new punctuation of one of the city's most emblematic landscapes. These dangling shapes can evoke in turn, planets, the moon, cells, bacteria ... The title Out / Élodie imprints the first name given to a spectrograph, which made it possible to discover the first exoplanet and capture the variations of the light spectrum of the sun to allow to transcribe the acoustic resonance of the star. In the ancient world, astronomy was part of the arts, and the sky was thought to be organized in harmony, between perfect spheres, for a sky in perpetual concert. Here, it's a concert for the eyes, but nothing prevents dreaming and listening!

as an hommage to Molly Bloom.
In James Joyce's Ulysses (1920), Molly Bloom's famous interior monologue is a 25,000-word long text without punctuation. It freely unfolds the thought of a woman, of the woman.
Joys and sorrows, memories and regrets, opinions, sex and fantasies.
Many readers women today find this text current, contemporary and say: "This is exactly what I feel, what I think".

GUIDING LIGHT – FOY VANCE
Summertime blues
shape me to a leaf
greens and pinks
palest blues beyond belief
pegs on the washing line
like punctuations
wooden and plastic
pastel colours; sweet sensations
warm Summer breeze
tickling my knees
swaying grasses
making me sneeze
pale into insignificance
breathe in the balmy air
fill me up with buttercups
spiders trying to lead me to their lair
I avoid by being still
absorbing me in gentle nature's spell
seagulls bombarding me with crusts of bread
they sound so woeful when all is well
idly I wonder what I am
a butterfly or a bee
or am I a dragon in disguise
as a damselfly; suddenly I feel so lazy
my eyes blink once; my eyes blink twice
I succumb to slumber in the sea-salt air
dreaming of where the wild things grow
where time moves slowly without a care
the Autumn days will soon roll in
the green leaves will turn to orange and yellow
before they fall when the first snow's felt
but until that time I'm feeling mellow
Summertime blues
shape me to a leaf
let Summer days take me
far beyond belief.

'The Gentleman'
Like everyone else I have ever met,
He is as unique as anyone else
I have ever met.
He looks like he should have a degree
In medieval literature,
So he does.
As the scholar, he is properly horrified by
Malapropism and errant punctuation, for
“You can never have too many commas.”
Even so, the propriety is mere veneer,
For his actual conduct betrays his true person,
A long lost fellow of Monty Python.
Despite a lofty self-deprecation,
He is highly regarded by colleague and friend.
He is properly embarrassed by any introduction as a
“Touch of Class” with a hearty “Rubbish!”
An Old World man atwixt tweed and leather elbow patch,
He is deeply affronted
By any desecration of the sacred religion of tea.
His umbrella is at least as travelled as he,
Having shared his silence and sorrow
In a Burmese monastery.
His personal needs are very brief:
Musty books;
A chair in the warm sun;
A cup of tea; and
A photocopier to copy all.
“After all, you can’t be too careful.”
He lives by ingenuous wonder,
Absorbing and living each moment with vibrant urgency.
He knows wondrous things,
Grievous things
Are the lot of men upon the earth.
So, his itinerant soul is onto the next phase
Of his varied experience.
To Jamaica, the Red Man returns home
And he will thrive.
His wonder at life will sustain him,
Jamaica,
Azure sky and indigo of sea,
Amplitude of verdant, emerald fauna,
A riot of colour and cacophony,
A tumble of rhythm and music.
He takes his place in the bright sunshine and shadows,
Down the way.

I found a website where it asks others to share their thoughts as to what the composer, Bob Dylan, might have had meant when he wrote the lyrics of the song ... the post below caught my eye and mirrors my own thoughts especially during these days of pandemic and past election events and controversies ... I would like to give credit to the author but unfortunately (s)he is anonymous....
PS... I omitted quotation marks because I made a few changes and added few punctuation marks for clarity. Otherwise, the original thought stayed the same.... each question a cry for PEACE and yet each answer refers back to the "TITLE."
This song states we know the answers to his questions but like a piece of paper we are trying to catch on a windy day, the preverbal wind always keeps it just out of reach.
He asks, “how many roads must a man walk before he is a man?” We, as humans, are always proving our "manhood". “When will man know war,” solves nothing. We only will silence the cannons when each of us stops thinking we are always better than others.
When does oppression cease?; when will we have enough ears?; when will all people be treated the same? At the rate we are going in accepting one other, mountains will be washed to the sea before it happens.
The answer is "blowin’ in the wind.” We have to band together in catching that piece of paper. We have to "catch" the meaning of “loving each other.” Otherwise, the answer is just "blowin’ in the wind," waiting for us to get the meaning of PEACE. Peace is NOT the absence of war. It's acceptance of ALL.

Apologies to the Mamas and the Papas for appropriating their lyrics. The missing punctuation isn't a typo; this is part of a fine stand of palms along the main street in Winters, CA, west of Sacramento.
Not far from Miami, this (swamp)land of muck boots and chest waders is the nation’s first national preserve. Preservation has a long litigious history here; instead of a Jetport, local Miccosukee, Calusa, Seminoles, and conservationists and environmentalists teamed together to preserve a swamp where elusive Florida panthers roam, (alli)gators dawdle, and exotic bromeliads and rare orchids thrive among namesake Cypress giants. In comparison to the neighboring pancake-prairie land of the renowned Everglades national park, this preservation is explored by fewer visitors and more by oil and grazing enthusiasts.
We visited the preserve more in despair than due to a proper plan. Initially dejected by long car lines at the nearby Shark valley entrance of the Everglades, we kept driving to our plan B... this preserve. The visitor center was remarkable in seemingly having fewer human beings in the parking lot than gators on the bank of the stream across it. It also had some of the most knowledgeable and kind rangers, one of whom invited Rishabh to work with them for the rest of the day. Out in the unpaved loop road, the rugged and watery wilderness was holistic and harmonious to the eye. However, it was a sting to photograph. In the swamp, one is left to find beauty, colors, and textures in the dimly lit flora and fauna itself. There is no sky or fast-moving water to rescue the frame. Foolishly, I spent a lot of time trying to find a ‘sunset’ spot in the jungle! Can you believe it? Hah! It is indeed a quirky place to photograph.
For the above photo, I capered in ankle-deep swamp water –which is not static and thus not dirty– in my flip-flops. I was supposed to be aware of alligators and water moccasins, but my attention was arrested by colorful punctuation in the forest –– the bromeliads (air plants). They sprung out from cypress trunks everywhere like hope. Air plants are so called because their roots never reach the ground; they obtain moisture and nutrient tactfully from the air. They are epiphytes not parasites, or in other words, they live rent-free on cypress trunks without causing their host any damage or distress. Cardinal air plants –the protagonist above displaying red floral bracts– are the most common bromeliad in the preserve but are an endangered species in Florida due to recent Mexican bromeliad weevil attacks, illegal collecting, and of course, habitat destruction. The preserve preserves them for now.
The Tomb Guard walks the mat on a quiet, overcast, chilly Spring day.
Hand-picked and rigorously trained soldiers from the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment, "The Old Guard", have the solemn duty and humbling responsibility to maintain the highest standards and traditions of the United States Army and the Nation while keeping a constant vigil at the Tomb of the Unknowns; with a special duty to prevent any desecration or disrespect directed toward the tomb.
As part of this soldier's training he was required to master performance on weapons manual, ceremonial steps, cadence, military bearing, and orders; meet Tomb uniform standards for Army Dress Blues, Shoes, glasses, and brass and metals, and be able to recite 35 pages of information on the history of the Tomb and Arlington National Cemetery, verbatim - including punctuation. A successful trainee is awarded the Tomb Guard Identification Badge - the least awarded badge in the Army, and second only to the Astronaut Badge in U.S. military rarity.
The soldiers assigned to the Tomb Guard embody the 99 words of The Sentinel's Creed - line six of which is the title of this image. So solemn and unique is their duty, the Tomb Guard Identification Badge is the only military badge that can be (and has been) revoked for any action that brings disrespect to the Tomb during the lifetime of the Tomb Guard.
Exactly a year ago, I posted this image - converted to black and white .
What happened after that, has changed my life. Read how.
A boat made an 180° turned and formed something that looked liked a question mark on the water.

"The Planets Bend Between Us" by Snow Patrol... <3
"The winter's marked the earth
It's floored with frozen glass
You slip into my arms
And you quickly correct yourself
Your freezing speech bubbles
Seem to hold your Nords aloft
I want the smoky clouds of laughter
To swim about me forever more
I will race you to the waterside
And from the edge of Ireland shout out loud
So they could wear it America
It's all for you
The shells crack under our shoes
Like punctuation paints
The planets bend between us
And a hundred million suns and stars
The sea filled in the silence
Before you said those words
And now even in the darkness
I can see how happy you are"

Can you spot the small silver question mark (punctuation mark) etched into this butterfly's hind wing when seen from the ventral view? Question marks are marvelous dead leaf mimics.
24th September 2020:
After a very dull and windy start to the day the sun suddenly made an appearance, so I was out. But, only as far as the car park as the clouds didn't look good.
Found this moss on a garden wall and played around with it a bit once I'd uploaded it.
PS This was titled "The Moss Monster." but Graham had said earlier that it looked like a hedgehog as did Simon[L], so it's had a name change.

Hello Everyone!
Upon viewing this archived image, what came to mind was the idea of hope, that this one little bloom shone bright and hopeful. My sincere hope is that we continue to find bright spots in our lives.
“Hope. It’s like a drop of honey, a field of tulips blooming in the springtime. It’s a fresh rain, a whispered promise, a cloudless sky, the perfect punctuation mark at the end of a sentence. And it’s the only thing in the world keeping me afloat.”

Sono, in grande parte, la prosa che scrivo. Mi sondo in periodi e paragrafi, mi trasformo in punteggiatura e, nella sfrenata disposizione delle immagini, come i bambini mi maschero da re con carta di giornale.
I am, in large part, the prose I write. I find myself in periods and paragraphs, I turn into punctuation and, in the unrestrained arrangement of the images, how children dress me like a king with newspaper.
I’ve been thinking about punctuation – and how artificial it is. Not to suggest that it’s unimportant. Heck no. I rely on it. After all, who could write intelligibly without it?
Well… that’s what I was thinking. And then I realized – it’s not punctuation per se that makes words and language comprehensible. It’s separation. It’s the spaces in between. The pauses and the breaks and the empty, empty gaps.
Look
I can write this
This way
And you will understand
You will know where the
Pauses
Are supposed to be
And
If I ask a question
You will know it’s a question
Not because of the shepherd’s crook crochet hook figure poised over its period at the end
But because you can appreciate
The meaning and significance
Of space
And separation
Can't you
Attitude is like punctuation in a sentence. You can change everything.

As I watch this new generation try to rewrite our history, one thing I’m sure of....it will be misspelled and have no punctuation.
Thank you for your visits, comments and faves. Have a wonderful, safe weekend.
should read "start time, then destroy all the clocks" i just dont like punctuation when i write, i like when things can be read many different ways. here too, but this was the original intent.
