Night Mare on the Moor
My response to Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie Photo Challenge #104 On a desolate windswept dreamscape of granite and peat, muted moss blends into bracken beaten into submission by wuthering winds.

Night-time at the Tattoo Parlour

The Tipsy Widow’s Funeral
My response to Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie Wordle #100 Her grave is a xenolith of lustrous Marble, disguised by a grassy knoll.
