The #peek scurried up a trunk and along a branch, disturbing a whisper of ghostly leaves. It paused at the very tip before leaping to a round and round landing inside the left lense of a girl's binoculars, where it rolled up tight inside the blink of an eye before seeping out into her mind.

Bugs, insects, creepers, you fear them all but for one, the beautiful beetle.

It must be the wings.

I can't find a title for this glorious painting of autumn Aspen, but it's by Oregon based (Ukrainian born) artist, Anton Pavlenko, and I love it 💛

"No, Longrass. I think he may be here for me." Dorothea pulled the mouse to the edge of the room. "I don't want to #beetle about, so I'll tell you straight. There was a time when I believed myself madly in love with him and he with me. But, then I met you, and nothing must come between us."

Well that's a wrap from me, it's been a lot of fun and the creativity of the #vss365 community has blown my tiny mind. Thank you for all your lovely comments & best wishes.

Good luck Steve @bofferson.bsky.social I'm looking forward to the prompts you're brewing in your wordy laboratory.

I got stuff to make a sign for the protest here on Saturday.

I would just like it stated for the record that no one is paying me to protest what’s going on in the US & that I am doing it because I love my country.

Nothing more American than saying, not in my name.

"Why are you drunk and not working?"
"We've got no vehicles."
"What happened?"
"Canadian ninjas took the whole fleet."
"So you downed a bottle of forty-year old Scotch because Canucks with nunchucks stole our dump trucks?"
"Yep. Expect an influx of #deluxe upchucks."
