Finding peace where we can.

#rainbow #ocean #clouds #peacefulplaces
Wet beach at low tide with a peaceful ocean is lapping on the beach. Some sea birds are scouting the wet beach. Blue sky with low white clouds above the ocean. A small bit of rainbow is extending from the cloud bank to the ocean.

Mood today. (Digital art my spouse created for me)
#digitalart #art #arachnid #spider #resist
Digital art piece with a close up of a brown and black striped jumping spider staring at you, light green background, and words with a patterned red font. The words say, “I will break all 8 of my feet off in your ass…”. With the artist’s signature of ‘Fuson’.

One of the dogs, Buster, sleeping soundly.

One of the most interesting fungus growths I have ever found.

#fungifriends #mushrooms #fungus #nature
Green fungus with a woody stalk growing out of the forest floor. Leaves, sticks, and thick forest detritus all around.

Be like a Seattle Greyhound bus driver and resist this. This is feeling more and more like an Anne Frank situation.
Greyhound bus driver told Ice to “gargle his balls” when they requested to enter his bus for a search.

Blooms and greenery in a back office at work. I don’t have room for them all at home 😂. The staff doesn’t seem to mind my office garden.🌱

Taking a break from anger and outrage. Let’s get ready for gardening and sharing our bounty with our communities. It’s something many of us can do to actively help each other.

A metal basket filled with tomatoes, peppers, and round cucumbers sitting on a cedar board. Herbs and vegetable leaves are growing in a raised bed behind the basket. Grass is growing up to the raised bed under the basket.
