Field guide No. 482
The river changed its mind
Stones flowing, water sitting.
Between mossy banks, a river of grey pebbles rushes downstream like water, while clear boulders made of water sit still along its edges. They have swapped jobs.
Field noteStones lie in rivers and water runs over them. Here the pebbles run and the water sits in lumps.
Also possible, also breaking physics
The porcelain orchardOlive trees fruit olives. Teacups would be a breakthrough in botany, not in logic.
The polite avalancheSnow that stops mid-fall is a physics complaint, not a logical one. Manners, apparently, are optional extras.
Fennec and the fog-sucking vacuumVacuums pull up dust, not glowing mist. A fox supervising it doesn’t help.
Self-suspended tree in a sinkholeA tree over a sinkhole either holds on or falls in. This one does neither, with nothing to grip.
