Begginer artist at the fantastic age of 40 something, cancer survivor, cat and human mom, friend, lover, queer. Struggles with SAD led to me deciding to be my own fucking sunshine one day and I haven't looked back. You can consider that a promise & threat.

Time for a new pinned post! I'm Max and I'm here to bring a moment of peace to your dash. Art, cats, links to good news that isn't political, and all sorts of stuff! While I'm a devoted democratic socialist, I'm not here for that. I read it all, but i pass along the calm in the chaos.
Spent some time outside working on my whimsy.

First up was filling bird feeders. Plus the little tray to appease the squirrels. Squirrels count as cat tv so I've made my peace with them.

I did a watercolor painting of my singer sewing machine that I love more than potato salad

I always love seeing and trying to capture hummingbird moths every summer. Didn't see as many as normal this year but I thought this one was beautiful. #BlueSkyArtShow #Small #BlueSkyPhotography #BlueSkyPhotographer #NatureLovers

Social media has been BLEAK lately. In a hump day effort to cleanse your feed, we present this gorgeous shot of a chin-slapping humpback whale from captain/naturalist Sara Shimazu of @sjiwhalewatch.bsky.social on San Juan Island. 🐋

Our friend Peracca's Plump Toad is a very rare species of toad who lives in the Andes of southern Colombia and northern Ecuador! They are one of a few toads who are born directly as small toads and do not have a tadpole stage! (photo by Augustin Bussac)

There's nothing like hanging out and watching a great grey owl hunt... and maybe taking a few photos. 😉

Since Sadie likes to be seen here is a pretty picture of her. She just wanted to be petted.
