People who dismiss e-books or audiobooks as being somehow less worthy or less meaningful than physical books are missing the point of books. Books are not ink and paper, just as human beings are not defined by their physicality. Books are connections; emotions; ideas; just like their creators.

A fun new visitor today - this handsome bird is a Fox Sparrow. He spent a lot of time feeding on the ground, and I also saw him in person - he was not shy at all! And a lot bigger than I anticipated, about the size of a Cardi but chunkier. I hope he sticks around for a bit. 🐦🪶 #birds

"This fierce peregrine mom was patrolling her territory to provide a safe airspace for her newly fledged babies. I thought she was going to attack a few gulls that flew close, but she decided to take a hard right and turn around, offering a rare face-to-face moment with the camera."

This time last year was the eve of the best Aurora Borealis display I've ever seen over the UK. Wonder if lightning might strike twice tomorrow? 🔭 🧪 🎨 #astrophotography #SciArt #photography #StormHour #ThePhotoHour

A
pencil
lead, if you
zoom in on it
with a microscope
is first a dark expanse,
but each magnification
reveals candescent clusters:
galaxy filament in graphite -
Let my pencil leave gauzy
comet tails in its wake,
nebula of dreams
across the stark
cosmos of
empty
page

Thought #conversion
A page of ink dries
Breath immortalized
And somehow
The words end up
Smudging the skin
As if expression
Isn’t complete
Without some blunder
Or a taste of flesh
From which ideas derive
Because that’s the very nature
Of creation
And perfection is the myth
Chased endlessly

voice
from my
misspent past
speak again ghost
haunting me with words
or are you an angel
singing mellisonant songs
of those days gone by when we loved
i hear you in the electric hum
reminding me i am never alone

Even though it’s cold,
We gallantly plan gardens,
Browse seed catalogs.
