Ah, I just realised! I think that a famous scene should pop up in the book I'm reading right now.

I'm teetotal, but this is such a memorable little scene, and Yang is such a sweetheart.🙂

#LegendoftheGalacticHeroes #reading

That being said, I can now enjoy these in peace and quiet, knowing I've earned them! 😋

I found an old folder of charcoal/pencil sketches from a while back, and was surprised at how not-terrible they were. Most were birds, although there were a few animals in there as well.

Here's the Snowy Owl, which is a bit of a cheat in how simple it was.

I'd forgotten all about these.

It's been a while since I posted a #photo, so... duck! 🦆

Or rather, two ducks, but the joke doesn't work that well otherwise. I found this pic in one of my folders a while ago, and just remembered it now.

I think I'd better just try and get caught up at the weekend. Life is throwing a lot at me lately!

Here's a quick pic from the garden. I love the colours.🙂

I love these flowers. They always bloom so late into the year, and they look gorgeous when sprinkled with dew. I managed to get a picture this morning, whilst I was out looking for dew-jewelled cobwebs to take a snap of. I couldn't resist the colours.🌺 🙂

I'm away for now, but hopefully I'll be back on Monday. Until then, here's a few #photos I've not long rediscovered in an old folder. Inktober was fun, but I think I prefer taking pictures. Take care, everyone.🌼

I had the time to put my final #Inktober sketch together fairly early, so I'll post it now. I'm not a fan of Halloween (controversial, I know, but I have reasons) so I went with the alternate #Artober theme of TOOT.

It's been fun to challenge myself, but I've definitely found my limitations. Without further ado, here's my final entry.

My feet haven't really touched the floor today, but I managed to get my #Inktober entry done. I used the #Artober theme of Balance, and so me being me I picked a stack of books balanced on top of each other.

Rightio, back to it.

And here's the second effort, the #Artober #photo, with the theme of Reflection. This is an old locket of mine, shot on a glass table.

I'm trying something new today, because whilst I've got a (very) rough sketch for #Inktober, I've got a photo I like as well - both using the #Artober theme of Reflection.

So I'll post both, one after the other. First up is the Inktober effort, a mirror. https://octodon.social/media/XXY2MPOE4dxZD-EWx6E

Just popping in to post my #Artober entry for today. No Inktober today: since I've been using the Artober themes I wanted to stick with them, and I found a #photo that summed up today's theme of Shimmer perfectly. A peacock's feather, in all its shimmery glory.

Today's #Inktober entry is somewhat simple. I used the #Artober theme of Close and drew a pair of closed eyes. Either a blink or forty winks.👁 https://octodon.social/media/i90DNBA1SuF_-Siqcu8

I took this #photo yesterday of a rather confused clematis that has decided to bloom for the second time this year. The weather certainly has been odd lately.🤔 🙂

My pen kept blobbing, so I had to keep cleaning it but I managed to get my #Inktober entry done. I used the #Artober theme of Flow, and what's better at going with the flow than a fish.🐟 https://octodon.social/media/7sA_eJ1xi8N6FcJC7P0

Otherwise known as #AsexualAwarenessWeek. I'm taking a leaf out of someone else's book and posting a pic of a piece of jewellery that's very close to my heart.

This was an old silver charm that I bought for a bracelet, years before I discovered that I was ace. When I dug it out again I loved how appropriate it was for me and put it on a chain. It's now the only jewellery I wear.💜 https://octodon.social/media/EIzM8vTfeY7emL_cLL8

Today's entry for #Inktober (using the #Artober theme of Ground) is as tenuous an interpretation as I thought it might be. It's a very quick sketch as well. I opted for a windmill, where wheat goes to be ground up into flour. #MustTryHarder 😅 https://octodon.social/media/nOF4DeZwL_uI7ShJDYg

Well, I was somehow able to get my #Inktober entry done. I used the #Artober theme of Love, and the result was this pair of birds, acting all lovey-dovey.🕊 https://octodon.social/media/uPW7uFza2JXpix2k7BY

Here's my #Inktober entry for today, using the #Artober theme of Shelter. https://octodon.social/media/F1JdN_8_-K63fBwtAJI

A spring flower for a Sunday night. I took this #photo a few years ago now, but the colours of this simple crocus always cheer me up. Even more so when I'm looking back through my albums when the weather is getting colder.
