Dear @IndesitUK - is smoke supposed to come out of my washing machine drum after a wash? Is this a dry ice sprint feature? What will you think of next! #washingmachine #fail #whileyourengineersweresleeping

Combed across the hill,
The silver bracken crackles;
Gusts tugging dead fronds.

Three telephone wires
Cross above the empty field;
Shrieking in the wind.

[Dr Matthew Tyas @MatthewTyas]

Waiting for a worm,
Dancing on the dewy grass;
A lone common gull.

[Dr Matthew Tyas @MatthewTyas]

Fading in the dusk,
The tree where the crow calls;
Waiting for its leaves.

To my surprise,
A toad sat on the pavement;
Raining winter night.

You don't get many opportunities to experience this in #Cornwall & #UK - I'm sure this will be a fascinating talk & demonstration next week #pottery #ceramics #china #stives #learn #make

A single crow's cry
Drives jackdaws from the ash tree;
Still bare in winter.

@Jayne44 Thank you for your kind words Jayne! Alas, if there is an incised sun perhaps the pot is not mine :)

[Dr Matthew Tyas @MatthewTyas]

The still ravens perched,
They lift - their ascending cries!
Wind of stinging sleet.

I've been re-visiting some previous photography assignments in preparation for @theleachpottery Warren MacKenzie blog article. Warren is much missed, he approached potting in a way that sought to understand the ‘good’ pot, an understanding not necessaril… https://t.co/V5CoJCiybU

Another from Yorkshire. This is looking towards Hartcliffe, with Cubley and Penistone to the right. The rain is coming after a hot day.

The butterfly's wings,
Empty of colour, of life;
Empty of the wind.

One from last week's trip to Yorkshire. A walk with family near Walton, West Yorkshire. A hot day and hard light. The ground cracked. Barley ready for an early crop but seemingly stunted.
