I See a Wave
The Ragtag Daily Prompt: Octopus
Not quite Varicose Veins
Many dairy farms decorate their entrance with a plastic, life-size cow. I have even seen cows painted as strawberries, colourful and psychedelic cows.
They are pretty life-like, particularly the veins show around the udder.
Whoever painted these two specimen has gone a little overboard painting the veins in blue, black and dark russet. It bothers me everytime I pass by.
The Ragtag Daily Prompt: Venation
PS: While checking whether I had the right word for the blood vessels in and around the udder, I came across the startling information that there are beauty pageants for cows. There actually are cow beauty queens called Miss Zürich, for example. Now that’s a piece of trivia I will not forget in a hurry!
Bubble, Bubble, Toil and Trouble
How not to think of three witches dances around when you hear the world “cauldron”?
Or possibly a real witch in the cauldron?

Amassed Flowers
I’ve never heard the term conglomerate being used for a flower meadow but it is one with this definition: a thing consisting of a number of different and distinct parts or items that are grouped together.
The Ragtag Daily Prompt: Conglomerate
Let’s Hope It Won’t Rain
In the early 1980s the site of a Roman villa was discovered near our town. The foundations were excavated and then enlarged so that visitors would have more of an understanding of the layout of this villa rustica. The foundations were only augmented and some of the walls were built up to less than half their original height. The photo shows an outside wall with half a window in it, just to give the impression of what it kind of looked like in around 300 AD.
The Ragtag Daily Prompt: Incomplete
It’s the View
I’ve featured this window before. I took the photo when visiting a friend and I heartily envy her this nook. The view is directly onto the lighthouse of Roker Beach in Sunderland. I ordinarily don’t eat breakfast and as I’ve often said: “I don’t do sunrises” but with this window seat I would change my routine just for the pleasure of sitting there and gazing out over the waves.
