Remember, remember the fifth of November,
Gunpowder treason and plot.
We see no reason
Why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!Do something to celebrate bonfire night.
So here’s some fireworks:

Make a vegetable smile
Yes, you can just draw a smiley face on a potato, but we bet you can do something more creatively challenging than that! Craft that veggie…
I made my smiley face out of potatoes …

Write a haiku about autumn. Bonus points for illustrating it.
We’ve been waiting for the redwings to arrive at the end of our garden and this weekend they appeared. They are really hard to see in the rowan trees as they blend into the red-brown leaves and red berries, but I got a photo of one yesterday that I’m quite pleased with. Here’s a haiku I wrote as I watched them flit from tree to tree.
Flashing through the trees
Stripping berries as they fly
Redwings have arrived

Look at this fish, spinning and spinning. Write a poem about the fish – bonus points for putting it to music.
Spinning Fish
A fish out of water
Spinning in the ether
Silently, effortlessly, eternally

Everyone has some random facts sitting orotund in the long term storage of their mind. Today is the day to dust one off one of those facts and share.
Yesterday I made Cornish pasties – a vegetarian version, of course. The traditional recipe would be potato, turnip and onion with beef skirt. For my version I substitute cheese for the meat – a Cornish cheddar, of course. So here’s my fact for today:
When the Cornish and the Scots talk about a turnip, they are referring to the orange vegetable which is also called a rutabaga and that the English call a swede. Turnip is a core ingredient in a Cornish pasty. At the top of this post is one I made yesterday, packed ready to take out on our picnic today.

Ten months of photos, one every day. Reminding me to pause and breathe while I appreciate my surroundings

Arguments rage in poetry circles about the merits of the Acrostic Poem (where the letters of the name of something, written vertical, form the first letters of words for each line). Use this Acrostic Poem generator to create your own, and if time, maybe transform the lines of the poem into a piece of art (what that means, is up to you, per DS106 ethos).
I made a couple – one for me and one for my Lacey Cat

Honestly, we’re not sure what you can do with this one, but Ambient Earth is seven hours (plus) of footage from the International Space Station, looking at our beautiful planet. We hope it inspires you to write, or make art, or do something.
Last night we had the sad news that Patrick Stewart had died, so here’s my nod to him. I took a screen shot of the video and edited Enterprise into it.

One hemisphere is entering Fall from Summer the other entering Spring from Winter… show us in a photo something that is changing (not necessarily nature).
Yesterday afernoon we found a gap in the rain clouds and walked around Mugdock Loch – a place we visit regularly, noticing as we walked around how many leaves had dropped since the last time we visited. Without knowing what the challenge would be today I stood and took a photo through the trees. So here’s Mugdock Loch in June and October – beautiful in all seasons.
We also saw a red squirrel while we were there, but didn’t get a photo.
