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.

Eurasian Wren (Troglodytes troglodytes): This small bird weighs just 6g (0.2oz). The plumage is rufous-brown, with darker brown upper body, brown beak, brown feet.

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.

not my best moment
fraught, distraught
stretched too thin

I admit, I threw a fit
since when’s that a sin?

in hell, I dwell
spinning wheels spin

take after take
real-to-reel heartache
remastering my mistake

like six-seven, I’m a meme
your #deluxe de-lu-lu queen

One love.
You won, love

Your teeny tiny gesture meant just for me makes my heart sing.

Your love is deluxe.

I wrote this in a note, 1981.
My heart still sings when I read it.

A reminder that from Thursday 16th October your new #vss365 host will be Steve, @bofferson.bsky.social, give him a follow if you're not already following him.

There'll be one more prompt from me tomorrow and then Steve will be getting our creative juices flowing up to Halloween 👻💀🎃
