If you enjoy witchy fiction this was good. It felt like the right book at the right time, and similar to how I felt when I read The Once and Future Witches in Oct 2020.

I had a quiet stay in a cabin last week. Saturday night it rained and I got some nice autumn pics on Sunday morning before leaving.

I’m loving Spring edited by Melissa Harrison. I got the summer, autumn, and winter ones as well. It’s great that there’s a mix of writers from our past and present. There’s a wide variety of different types of writing. All the covers are really colorful too.

The trail wanders on
2/3

#trail #spring #nature #photography

Small dirt trail through the woods with large old trees on both sides a little ways up the trail. Purpleish pink wildflowers dot the trail sides.

I have a trail I’ve loved for decades. There are spots I know not just by sight, but by feel. I can’t explain the feel, but I know it by memory. If I could only ever go on one trial ever again it would always be this one. 1/3

#trail #spring #nature #photography

Small walking trail through a forest. Large trees stretching across the path overhead and wildflowers growing along the side.

Took this today in between the rain. Love the way the ivy grows up the base of this catalpa with lichen and moss all over it.

I took this rainy picture of the maple out one of the top sunroom windows yesterday. I messed around with the color saturation, black point, and brightness a bit and ended up with this abstract.

#tree #rain #green #photography #abstract

Abstract dark greenish blue toned picture of a lush maple tree taken through a window. At the top the outside condensation and raindrops look like paint splotches. The bottom half has lots of little lines of raindrops beaded on the window.

New leaves on the maple glowing in the sun.

Newly unfurled pale green leaves on a maple tree lightly glowing from the sun. Bright blue sky and trees that haven’t gotten their leaves yet in the background.

If you haven’t heard anything by Ludovico Einaudi, let me introduce you to his work. This is my favorite song, and I love this video as well.

It’s a ‘90s evening: boots and flannel sitting on my back porch swing listening to Tori Amos’ Cornflake Girl and hearing crows flying around and cawing to each other at the end of the song.

I adore my star magnolias in bloom. I like to stand under them on a sunny day and gaze up at the bright blue sky. Never gets old. Magick every single time.
