I mentioned to a high school friend a few weeks ago that I was informally diagnosed autistic by my primary care doc last year, and she was surprised to hear this only because she had assumed for the 28 years we've known each other that I was autistic. So.

A decision was made here and, I must say, I very much agree.

This spoon appeared in my house and no one knows where it came from. It is not an Approved Spoon ™️.

I don't trust it (because OBVIOUSLY).
I also can't get rid of it (because it will be sad and/or haunt me).

#smARTist #inheritance #Bloomscrolling

I made my wedding bouquet out of flowers from my and my husband's cultural inheritance: peonies for my maternal French family (& my growing up in Indiana), ranunculus for his Lebanese/German family, and heather & thistles for my paternal Scottish family.

I appreciated this bee's cooperation in slowly visiting multiple flowers so I could refine my photograph and get the shot I wanted.

#smARTist #experiment

This was one of the first images I took with black and white film, back in the late '90s - a pretty decent experiment!

#smARTist #inquiry #dogwood #botrytis

The dogwood tree at work has never looked better - blooms galore - but I had to do some inquiry to figure out why these pink spots showed up after several days of heavy rain. Turns out all those flowers overlapping each other are perfect for botrytis.

Heads-up that "Ambient" isn't a drug but "Ambien" sure is.

The word "Ambient" is circled in red both times it appears.
