All sorts of weird folklore gets rolled out on Christmas Eve. Animals speak, house hobs demand apple brandy. It's the one night when the winged dogs that climb and perch in churches can change positions. Magics and strangeness always seems thick today. – Nancy Appleyard #VOH

Went outside for a walking meditation. Stepped onto deer tracks pressed onto the cool ground. Looked up, saw three sandhill cranes

Wonderful story about the importance of kelp forests to marine ecosystems and the incredible work being done to restore them. Very happy to see the mention of sea otters in Monterey Bay! 💙🦦

Gosh but I’m in love with these pine-oak woodlands. The twisty oaks, the tall straight pines, and the clusters of fanning saw palmetto.

Holy moly, the stars are bright tonight. I forgot they could look like this. I’m trying to think of words to describe them, and all I can come up with is…incredible. They’re almost tangible. I haven’t seen this many in ages; I don’t know that I’ve ever seen this many.

There is still love in this world
I stumbled onto a small herd of Icelandic ponies near Gimli yesterday. They were a bit far from the road and the weather was nasty, but I managed to capture this lovely moment.
