A beautiful rose brought in from the cold. I couldn’t resist the colour. #dyingdays #seasons #photography #eastcoastkin

Some leaves hold onto summer, some deep into autumnal reds, and many in between. A reminder we each bloom and fade, grow and let go, change at our own pace. Diversity in timing as crucial as diversity everywhere else. #october #diversity #photography #resilience #halloween

#ColorADay and #YellowThu I give you an example of colour that exists only as green seeps or leaches as the plant draws its life force down to its roots to survive winter.
My survival strategy is different:
I’m going to try going out more this winter

When I first saw the frog by my pond in this pose I was worried. But he seemed well enough for weeks after so maybe it’s a resting pose? #BlueSkyArtShow theme is #Relax all day Saturday #chill like this frog #eastcoastkin

I think these colours/this photo would make a beautiful quilt.
I’ve never made one before but maybe I’ll try. #photography #eastcoastkin #quilting

Sunrise Saturday morning. The small light that looks like a star is a drone. in a flannel nightie, at a cabin an hour out of town, I felt invaded a camera pointing down. Likely capturing the sunrise. But what else? And at what cost to privacy? #drones #sunrise #privacy #eastcoastkin #photography

Understanding the draw of a particular thru-hike/ trail is impossible: Everyone has their own reasons. I’m glad I brought Naomi Arnold’s “Northbound” on retreat with me, to follow along as she tries to articulate the why. Well-written and enjoyable read. @naomiarnold.bsky.social thanks for sending!

The sound of rain. It’s soft, timid almost. I can’t believe how happy it makes me. The lakes are low, the rivers are dry, the land parched.
Please, let it rain all night #drought #rain #eastcoastkin
Here’s a photo of a deluge a few years back on a multi-day hike. Less welcome then. #photography

I was up to catch the sunrise #eastcoastkin #morning #photography #clouds
Forecast promised rain but it’s not looking very rainy yet, and we need it.

Poor little guy hit a window and was rescued by my son. Flew off after a few minutes.

I’m not sure what drives me to retreat each year for a week or more. Maybe a bone tossed to my creative spirit who otherwise gets squeezed in around full time work and regular life. But this is my home this week. #retreat #writinglife #restorative #fiction #sevendays

There’s so much beauty in imperfection. See how the centre of the rose condenses in the drought, how streaks of gold give form to a flower simultaneously opening and swallowing itself whole. #bloomscrolling #eastcoastkin #adversity #photography
