Alternative process artist, photographer, camping enthusiast. Mom to two humans and two huskies.

Photos will be from multiple formats, including iPhone. Camper is a Radica MoonLander.
The baby of the family goes back to college on Saturday. We’re catching up on classic films he hasn’t seen yet. The color theory in this film is just 10/10.

Weird snow lately.

Yesterday when we cleaned off the truck it was like blowing off soap bubbles. Only dry?

Edit edit edit.

By the time I get to Dallas I’m going to really dislike my own work.

Early dog walk. Windchill -30F ish. I was only outside 12 minutes but my breath frosted my eyelashes, hair and hood. Very thankful I can walk my dogs without wearing glasses.

We don’t have hurricanes, we don’t have tornadoes, we don’t have fires.

Still do a double take when I park next to a nekkid Ridgeline.

Too spot on not to share.

Working with my Tuesday evening teens tonight and actually created along with them. We did “word of the year” collages and my word this year is feral.

In my case I’m leaning on the definition that means to have escaped domestication.

Squeaking snow and a husky living her best life. Lunatic loves to hunt, even more when the snow is fresh.

Northern WI has beautiful, wild spaces.

Today a friend and I went to find Christmas trees. We wanted to go to the forest and got permits, but she had dental work two days ago and the temp got low for tree hunting.

We ended up at a friends tree farm and the temp got just above freezing. The warmth made a difference for sure.

Today was cake day. I talked to family, hung with hubby, texted people all over the place (including at 4am with my brother in Nepal) and had a quick phone call with a youth friend sitting at the airport in Detroit.

I know amazing people.

At this point it’s more surprising when the huskies *don’t* dart around us and escape for a half hour on the first bitter cold day of the season.

45mph wind gust and -7F real feel must activate some dumbass gene in our old husky. The one with low vision and bad hips. 🫠

Grains. Sometimes good light can make anything interesting.

Meshes of the Afternoon is one of my favorite films, and I sometimes see it in my photography.

Anyone else have a favorite film that shaped them as an artist?

It’s been a while since I visited my grand kitties. Or grand kitty and grand nekkid goblin. Thinking of @petrichor-and-pine.bsky.social and their collection of critters today.

The night comes too quickly this time of year, but that last burst is pretty amazing. Taken in Eau Claire WI last night. #photography

Pt 3:

7: HEST mattresses stay soft at low temps and are warm. Using it in “futon” mode meant no cold coming in from cab side window/extra insulation.
8: Stayed toasty in zero degree bag with slumberjack quilt was great for all but very tips of toes.
9: I seriously love the MoonLander. ❤️

Pt 2:

4: A low wattage cubical heater plugged into site power is ::chef kisses:: Even when turning it on and off during the night since it doesn’t have a thermostat!
5: The 1” foam install job was worth it.
6: The low wattage hot plate was worth it.

Older photo, but we live where the northern lights are so bright we can see them from our deck. In town. Facing downtown and the neighborhood.

Pretty wild for 2 kids from TN.

Just back from buying foam insulation at Menards. Feeling this.

This is my husband with Mako and Lunatic. Mako is a good boy. He has 2.5 brain cells, a happy temperament, and learned to “sit” after 6 months of training. Lunatic can be a good girl, but she likes to love with her “teefs”. She knows lots of commands. She thinks I’m an idiot.

I have a campsite reserved for Monday night but the weather is making me nervous. I haven’t finished insulating the MoonLander AND the low is going to be 21F with wind.

Have a 0 bag, but haven’t tried it to prove rating.

Would you go camping?
