Poppycat!
I sit, silver ghost among the russet leaves and whispers of autumn. Red petals sway like lanterns against the hush of fading day. I am still, a sculpture carved in fur, but the poppies dance for me, casting spells of scarlet on the ground.
We coexist: me, a pulse of grace atop a weathered stump, and the poppies, fragile exclamations in a muted world. Here, nature holds its breath, and in that moment, I am both hunter and muse.

Yesterday, I mentioned the connection between the less expensive cars in the BMW range and the company’s motorcycles. BMW has been making motorcycles for over a century, often to its classic ‘boxer engine and shaft drive’ recipe. Not so typical for BMW - two-stroke engines, as seen on the unrealised post-war R10 prototype from 1947 (last photo). Pics: Techno Classica 2013.
Tomorrow: BMW’s decisive move to fill the big hole in the middle of its car range.
