Hey y'all! A new episode of "Frothy Plays..." is now available on YouTube! Come along as I deliver milk and juice in a quiet little town called Thunderhead and take a relaxing stroll through the woods to marvel at the exotic Bloodbark trees!

Echoes from the Deep / Echi dal Profondo for #spookysaturday episode 10

"How many times do I have to do this?", you wonder. This is a futile mission. There's nobody but us. You've spent years studying, training, waiting to get out there into space. To explore new frontiers, see distant lands, discover if we are really alone, and instead you've ended up in this cramped room pinging out messages every day.
The message is always the same: "This is Terra. Is anyone out there?" And the answer is always the same - silence.
You type it out again. What is this now – the 6th or 7th year? Oh, it doesn't matter. Send.
The screen turns blank. Quelle surprise. Lather, rinse, repeat. Time to go to lunch. You start putting on your jacket when you hear the ping. The computer lights up.
"ENOUGH" fills the screen.
You try to triangulate the message – one of your coworkers has obviously decided to be a smartass today. A welcome break from the monotony. but unfortunately for them, all activity must be reported.
The signal isn't coming from in here or out there. It's coming from underground. Deep underground. Way way too deep underground.

(That's another reason to say no to fracking kids!!
This photo is one of my first astrophotography photos - so be gentle with it please. 😂✨)

The Birds / Gli Uccelli for #spookysaturday episode 9

Good evening spooky saturday-ers! 🦇 I haven't got a story today because I've been busy looking at gardens and petting cats! 🐈 🌿
So, instead, here's a photo I sent to my friends showing them why I wasn't going out that nignt - because there is nothing scarier than having to get out of your pyjamas when you're all snuggled up for the evening. 🌙 (I mean, obviously there is because look at the state of the world!! Let's just pretend!)
What're your favourite horror movies? 👻 ✨

The Graveyard Shift / Il Turno di Notte for #spookysaturday episode 8

Night guard at a rural cemetery wasn't exactly the job you were looking for, but these past six months have actually been great. Nice and quiet, nobody to bother you, decent pay!
Tonight's the same routine as ever: check all the gates are locked, quick sweep along the outer walls, note any signs of damage, walk your regular routes and watch out for anybody who shouldn't be there. Same old same old, but you don't mind, you like the familiarity.
Oh, someone’s left the lights on in the crypts again. Better turn them off. As you get closer, you hear sounds - muffled voices and footsteps. Great. They’d warned you about teenagers sneaking in for a dare. Heading down the stairs, you call out "Okay, fun's over. Time to go home".
No answer. You walk down one of the corridors. You can hear footsteps and voices ahead of you, so you speed up and turn the corner quickly. Nothing. Damn, these guys are fast.
"You're not in trouble. You just can't be in here now".
More mumbling and shuffling. You turn corner after corner for – what? – 20 minutes? Has the crypt always been this big? You decide if you leave the door open, they'll eventually go home. You try to retrace your steps, peering down corridors – you don't remember it looking like this before. Did you take a right or a left here? Don’t remember this dead end…
You realize that the voices and footsteps have stopped. There’s now complete silence. Then the lights go out. Pitch black. You start feeling your way along the walls.
The voices are back, but they’re no longer muffled.
"It's our turn to chase you."
And the footsteps are clearer too. And faster. Much faster.

Camera Obscura 📸 ☀️

This just happened and I am pretty excited because this is the first time I've ever seen it naturally!!! Whatever way the skylight window was open it created a pinhole camera and the room just happened to be dark enough that it created a Camera Obscura! The video I took was horrific quality, so here are 24 photos that I *tried* to crop and edit equally to render the idea - bad quality but not as bad as the video. 😂
It may not look impressive now, but it was cool at the time - I promise! 😂✨
