I plan to post at least one of my photos a day here on Bluesky. I design each of my photos using recent research into the benefits to mental health of looking at plants & patterns in nature.
Making my collections relaxes my noisy autistic+ADHD brain & they'll relax yours by looking at them here:

Flashback to the garden step café last spring, when a little bank vole came to dine & was so focussed on her main course that she didn’t notice a cherry blossom petal falling on her head to make a jaunty hat…👒

Yesterday was the midway point between the winter solstice & the vernal equinox & today is Imbolc, the pagan celebration of the return of the light. We’re climbing out of winter & the whole botanical calendar (save snowdrops & aconites) is ahead. A very good thought in case you need it today 🌿:

I’ve just realised that the darkest ten weeks of the winter are behind us & just now we’re gaining 2 minutes of daylight each day here in the UK. A hopeful thought 🌿

Small behind the scenes 📷 of materials I’m using atm,incl silver pebble I made (👀),1930s toy poppy,fossils,aquamarines & tiny keys from 18th C writing slopes. Jewellery-making was maybe my first love, dating back to the time before I loved biology & learning how the brain works (ie actual yore/1976)
