#Scape day: bamboo in snow. Atop the solidified ice/sleet block that is our current landscape, we've received an additional inch of fluff today. It's pretty and adds traction, at least.

#ForestFriday is a little magical this week with ice, sleet, snow, and the warmth of the rising sun.

Need a reset? This'll do it.
The dam is breaking. It takes millions of raindrops to make a deluge, and every drop matters.
The power of the people will never be defeated!

This handsome babe was scuttling around my kitchen one morning so I quickly photographed and carried them to a safe place outdoors. Phileurus valgus, a member of the Rhinoceros Beetle fam.

Good night, everyone. It feels like our so-called "leaders" have all but abandoned us, but we still have each other. I didn't know what else to do, so I made a little painting. Stay safe out there 💛

This winter's amaryllis represents strength and resilience––something we could all use right now.

Taking a look back at photos from last spring. I climbed to the top of our property to hug this old friend. #ThickTrunkTuesday

Unearthed whiskey bottle, water, light, straight outta the camera. Sometimes the most humble items can look so interesting.

Enjoy the dark, seek the light, and always look up when you feel the least like doing so.

Good morning, America.

Just another war for oil, nothing to see here.

You MAGA voted for this.

AND

If you didn’t vote, then you voted for this too.

This, the accompanying image, and the comment thread explain perfectly how I feel about Photoshop vs AI. AI lacks heart, commitment, and limits the creative human hand in favor of a cold version of the idea regurgitated by computers.

#Art
i think what gets overlooked is that part of the humor and charm of edits like these is that you're perfectly aware that someone sat down and spent their own time making it. they chose to do something cool or silly or stupid or genius, regardless of the results

that human element elevates the work
Who needs AI when we had stuff like this? I’ll take photoshop edits over the slop any day

For some of you it’s heat and traffic.
For some it’s rain tapping your window.
For some it’s a café, a corner store, a borrowed quiet.

Different places.
Same pause.

Wherever you’re standing—
hope the day loosens its grip for a sec.

While Amazon is investing billions of dollars to expand AI, independent bookstores are hosting community events, personally recommending books to readers, and providing a space that is safe and welcoming during a time when we need them most.

Never underestimate the power of a local bookstore.
