30th October 2013 – crows
Their rounded backs are turned against the wind, sitting in a row on a service station sign. A Halloween foursome, heralding the darkness of tomorrow.

29th October 2013 – headlights
They sweep across the road. A startled hedge is caught in them, leaves glowing a ghostly silver. They move on, relentlessly searching out all who cross their path.

28th October 2013 – hair

22nd October 2013 – spider
