The malicious have a dark happiness
It is quite probably unfair to label this duck malicious but look at his face. The Victor Hugo quote just suits him perfectly.

Vineyard visitor
I came across this beauty and I couldn’t walk past without snapping her up (figuratively speaking). I found her appropriately in a vineyard because in German this kind of snail is known as a vineyard snail (Weinbergschnecke) but I learned now that it is known in English as Roman snail, Burgundy snail (!), large garden snail, escargot or edible snail (ha!).
Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Take a New Photo or Photos – Any topic
Holy Five
Excuse the pun in the title – this is for Thursday Special: Pick a Word and I tried to get a photo which satisfies all 5 in one go AND it is a photo from Holy Island (Lindisfarne) off the coast of Northumberland.
Setting – well the hue of the photo suggests it was close to sunset.
Nubilous – slightly fuzzy, not very clear, it definitely is, due to zooming in so close, and the lateness of the day.
Motley – very much a motley collection of boats on an untidy looking beach at low tide.
Growth – maybe a slight stretch but the ruins of the old priory look to me as if they were growing out of the soil.
Nautical – no comment needed.

Earth, wind and fire … and water
The photo was taken on the causeway between Northumberland on the mainland and Holy Island – a stretch of road that is completely under water during high tide.
The first picture is pretty much as I took it and how I remember it. But then I started to play around with the editing functions of my photo program and I realised that depending on the effect, a different element was emphasised.
For me – with my landlocked upbringing – the seaside is a wonderous place where I find the immediacy of the elements is ever present.

Not a little horsey

The mouse ran up ad hoc
I have an ulterior motive with my 6 word musings this Saturday. I was walking in the woods yesterday when this little creature ran in front of me on the path. It was tiny, totally unperturbed, meeping in a high voice, and following ants on which it pounced and ate one after the other. I think it was either a wood mouse or a bank vole – but the size still puzzles me. Its body was just an inch long, the tail about another inch. Any of the animals I checked up on are normally bigger. Or was this a baby who was still learning to keep under cover and keep quite? I hope it learned fast. Anyway, if somebody knows for sure what I saw I’d appreciate to hear from you.
The area was a fairly well frequented part of a large arboretum with exotic trees from all over the world, beech varieties are also included, pretty close to a town, in southwest Germany (Weinheim an der Bergstraße). https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exotenwald
