The Next Chapter Begins.

The past few months have been about helping Tammy find her rhythm again at a gentler, steadier pace that lets her focus on her health, her writing, and the joy of creating. Through it all, your patience and kindness has meant the world to us

I mentioned yesterday how my birding skills were somewhat lacking, so in real guess territory here; taken last weekend, I think its a Carolina Wren, but its definitely #Singing so fitting for #Birdoftheday 🐦🦉

Started the day helping second graders weave. Over the break I'm going to gather some redwood bark, laser cut the words of their class pledge into the pieces, and help them weave the data from a survey of which parts of the pledge they lived out. #DHmakes

90% of the time when Rashford barks at "something" through the floor level window...it's nothing.

Now and then he gets it right (deer were utterly unbothered by his barking).

Bebe Black-tailed (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus) demonstrates the origin of the moniker!

If you couldn’t make it out to Washington, D.C. today to lobby Congress for the “Remove the Regime” rally, don’t worry, you can still help from home. Check in at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. on Facebook to boost visibility and show support. Even doing this in your PJs makes a difference!

Dragon's Reach - from 'Secrets Of Strangehollow' that I made back in 2021. I do love painting a misty scene! #atmosphere #atmosphericpainting #magicalhouse #cliffsontheocean #blacksand
Hundreds of miles up the west coast, north of the singing pools, surrounded by the black cliffs of Narok, you will find Dragon's Reach. This ancient dwelling, hewn from glistening black rock and a little sorcery, is the home of wise old Grizel, the sea witch. Stories about Grizel have been passed on for centuries, telling of her life-saving potions, affinity with wild beasts, kindness and wicked sense of humour. Dragon's Reach rises from the black sands and jagged dark rocks beneath it, a precarious winding stone staircase being the only way in or out which can only be scaled at low tide. Grizel spends most days foraging for precious ingredients for her famous concoctions. She wears tattered layers of once lustrous embroidered fabrics, a sturdy basket on her back to carry all that she finds and a thick leather belt that has various tools dangling from it, fastened with leather thongs and makeshift knots. On one hip she carries the hollowed-out tooth of a great beast from the deep, which she uses as a horn to call sea creatures to shore to commune with them. Once a year she travels many miles inland, riding on the back of a wild gorok, with baskets on the saddle and glass bottles dangling from its horns. She seeks magical herbs and berries which cannot be found on the coast. As she travels through small settlements on the outskirts of Strangehollow, she trades with hunters and other wizards and witches, sourcing rare and potent artefacts, animal bones and other ingredients.

Hermit thrushes are one of the very best things about winter in Georgia #birdoftheday #birds
Hermit thrush standing on the broken end of a branch, facing right. The overall image is soft and colored in grays and browns. The bird herself stands at a 3/4 angle to the camera with her head pointed slightly up. Her light brown wings hang down at her sides, in the way of many thrushes, and her tail is foreshortened and angled upward, away from the camera. She is slightly floofed so her spotted breast is very clear. She is gently backlit so she is edged in soft light. The background is unfocused gray and light yellow-green.

A bit of #BloomScrolling and bees for this morning.

Around here, November showers bring May 20 #FallBackFlowers
Two small black native bees collecting pollen from a Mariposa Lily. The lily has creamy white petals, a yellow center with purple edges, a pink pistil and stamens that are covered with purple pollen. A small black mining bee in the center of a wild Wood's rose. The center is a cluster of yellow pollen covered stamens and the petals are a very bright and deep pink. A small metallic green wasp on the small light pinkish purplish cluster flowers of a wild onion.
