Sitting in the quiet family room sipping tea just now when I suddenly noticed a beautiful fragrance—the indoor lemon tree has quietly bloomed just as we’re heading into the dark of the year 💛💚🍋

So what are you making today that isn’t food? I’m going to be working on a quilt for my son 💙🩷🤍🏳️‍⚧️

I followed a fall “pumpkins” prompt last month—and then to my astonishment actually finished the piece this past week
Colored pencil over an acrylic paint background, six pumpkins laid out in a loose two-by-three grid

Haha, Happy #Halloween folks! May all your trick-or-treat dreams come true 👻
A giant orange plastic bucket with cute Halloween characters on the side is full to the brim with pho. A hand drawn cardboard sign above it reads “ONE SLURP OF PHO PER TRICK-OR-TREATER”

Close up of dark purple hydrangea flowers. Dim evening light is catching some of the petals so they stand out against a dark shadowed background

Tfw you’re keeping your chin up but it’s 2025…
A life-sized Halloween skull stares into the distance, hard to tell if its grinning or grimacing. Sunlight and shadows play in the wall behind it, and it’s wearing a purple feather boa

post a picture of when your pet was little
(True confession: all three were foster fails…)
Three young kittens in a row peeping over the zipper doorway opening of a canvas playpen, from left to right we see a void, a tabby and another void. They might be big enough to make a break for it?

Hello. How about a deep breath, and a cat?
Close up of the head and shoulders of a little black cat. The sunlight coming from the left is highlighting her beautiful yellow-green eyes and fine whiskers. Her expression is a bit bemused as she looks slightly up and just to the right.

Hello. Need a dog?
A slightly elderly black lab is lying with her front paw draped over the photographers outstretched knees as she looks off to the right, showing her beautiful perfect lab profile. The light is catching and highlighting her soulful brown eyes.

Hey hi. How’re you doing? Need a moment to catch your breath, and maybe a cat or dog pic? I got you 💕
Close up of Pickles the black cat’s face, she’s loafing on the top shelf of a tan cat tree and leaning way forward to stare lovingly at you. You can hardly see her green irises because her pupils are so huge, and her little paws are tucked in under her chest. Lucy the black lab is sitting up beautifully, facing the camera on a light colored floor. Her hind legs have splayed out slightly and she’s looking meltingly at the camera—perhaps you have a treat for her?

I’m wintering hard today/this month. Keep reminding myself the seasons turn, the seasons turn, but 😮‍💨…
Send hygge supplies please 🥺

And cats. Send cats also pls…
A snow and ice covered log in the woods is set with a small white tea set. The cups are filled with snow, the whole set is half buried by the snow and ice. It looks cold, but maybe the set will be used for a small tea party once the snow melts.

Getting in on the #bloomscrolling These won’t be back for a few months, posting as a reminder that the seasons turn and light and warmth are waiting for us

Need a doomscrolling interruption? Name of Daisy at your service

(unclench jaw? drop shoulders? extra deep slow breath maybe?)
Close up of a very fluffy calico cat’s face, mostly white and very soft looking. Her little eyes are closed, her white whiskers are long and her li’l nose is pink Super fluffy calico cat is hugging the hand of her person as she lies next to their leg with tight closed sleepy eyes and a li’l pink nose

Leaning into #art and #nature to shore up my heart ♥️
A torn piece of cream colored handmade paper that’s a rough rectangle is resting on a slightly battered blue cutting mat. Two pens lie horizontal in the foreground, used the create the linework on the paper. The meandering black ink linework is reminiscent of wave patterns on a shore, or maybe tree rings, with one line highlighted in gold and one in silver Close up of a slim branch of dark red leaves, the leaves are edged in a narrow band of white frost crystals

Cat, name of Daisy, for you

(slight delay for creation of alt text)
A ridiculously fluffy calico cat named Daisy is reclining on a dark brown blanket. She’s halfway rolled onto her back so her insanely fluffy white tummy is available for pets, with her front paws stretched forward and to the side, one neatly on top of the other. Her hind foot is raised so you can see her toe beans. Her enormous bonkers fluffy dark grey tail is very discreetly curled up between her back legs across that tummy. She’s looking at you expectantly, awaiting the pets, and her li’l nose is pink.

Another walk, another great photo op!
This extremely smol and puffy little kinglet was super busy foraging. He was happy to continue his work while my dog and I stood quietly and watched. Took this when he boldly approached within 3 feet of us—check out his 👑! 💛 #nature #birds #pnw
Moss and grass fill the view, scattered with dried brown leaves, a couple leafy weeds and pinecones. In the center, barely bigger than the pinecones is a tiny bird, his plumage is shades of grey and his cap is a bold bright yellow stripe with black on either side, the reason for his species name: gold crowned kinglet. He is staring intently at the grass, caught in the midst of busy foraging

Look at this beauty from my walk yesterday! 🌳 I’ll never get bored of the extreme mossy trunks of the #pnw it’s like fashion for #trees
Photo is of a tree trunk absolutely covered in thick puffy bumpy moss in bright green. It’s taken from close up at the base of the tree so you’re looking straight up the trunk. The tree is very tall, so the crown, leafless branches and blue sky are blurred and only the moss in the foreground is in focus, lit by sunlight

Dunno, maybe you need your scrolling interrupted with this fluffy sweet cat, name of Daisy?
Very fluffy calico cat looks into the camera with a sweet, sleepy expression. Her right front paw is extended towards the camera, the white toes relaxed over the edge of the soft grey shelf she’s reclining on. The background wall is pale lavender and her li’l nose is pink.

A meme in two photos—the top photo shows Frodo from the Lord of the Rings movie scene where he’s asking in despair “What are we holding on to, Sam?” The lower photo shows Sam leaning in replying with an earnest and urgent expression, and a photoshopped lit flame between them “it’s called a Molotov cocktail and you’re gonna want to throw it fast”

I’m unashamedly fond of sparkly/metallic inks! 🌱✨🎨 #wip
Sketchbook page with partially complete pen and ink image. The image is of a four-block wavy-lined grid with a narrow frame, each block contains four leaves coming from a central point. The two lower blocks have only the leaf lines in darker green with the background still white. The upper two blocks have the leaves filled with blended shades of green, and the backgrounds filled with metallic gold/green ink

Breaking: cute n handsome li’l guy demands pets right now pls
A bird’s eye view shows a brown tabby cat sitting upright on a brown slate tiled floor with his tail out behind him. His little mouth is open in a plaintive meow so you can see his bottom teeth. His yellow eyes with enlarged pupils are looking directly up into the camera

Check out the many layers of paint from graffiti over graffiti over graffiti at a local skate park!
#photography #artinthewild
Close up of a mostly-purple graffitied wall stretching off to the right of the image. The focus is on a peeled hole several inches across that shows multiple layers of paint where past artists have repeatedly painted over previous images. The edge of the multicolored layers are visible under the top purple layer at the circumference of the hole. Also visible are flat layers in multicolored flecks and flakes across the hole opening. Blurred in the background is more of the current image, a giant, ferociously grimacing mouth with purple lips, huge teeth and a cherry-red tongue
