It is! I believe this is the Borneo mountains. The red/orange is the Antelope Canyon and the purple-black is Everest.

Similar! I'm on a "every six months, oh I need to update that" schedule, and wouldn't you know? I just got the email reminding me that my hosting bill is due soon.

My phone's camera really doesn't do them justice, especially in sunlight.

Also, an ink test of some pretty green ink I got for free during Fountain Pen Day. (Using the new pen since it didn't come with a cartridge or adapter and my other pens are all inked up.) Also, the sun came out, so I wanted to snag the gold glint.

Eventually, there will be a blue one for Reckoning. The pens are Cross Wanderlust, and are a matching set of four. The pattern is the topographic map of various mountain ranges.

They are! I really like what I've seen of their ink selection too. I've picked out a few for future purchase.

Oooh, I love sparkly ink, I really do, and how customizable they are. I've restricted myself to getting ink only with short story sales or to go with my novel pens, so I think (I hope) I can keep this manageable. Maybe.

Ah, but I have put a restriction on myself! I can only have a new pen when I either finish writing a novel or do something suitably remarkable, and it takes me about a year to write a novel. Ergo: I will (probably) only get a new pen once a year. Probably.

I have not! But I am a newcomer to the world of fountain pens, so have only seen the relatively small collection of what my local stationary store has on display and this one pen, since it was thematic and easier to discover.

I bought the one on the left, whereas the one on the right was an entirely unexpected gift from the 2024 class. Thank you, VP 2024! I'm happily using my new pen you gave me to cross off things on my "to do" lists with crisp, final red ink!

And done for now. Very short stream. I need more foliage brushes.

Same, same. Architecture and all those straight, blocky lines are my bane.
