Dirt & Bone Witch. Feral. Woods. Ocean. Words. Books. The Weird. Poet. Magpie at heart. Mother of Squirrels and Magpies and Crows. Odd, strange little thing. 🇳🇴 🐻❄️🐭

🐺 Mor til Ailo 🐺. ❤️ Kona til 🐻 ♾️.
Last night I dreamed a precious familiarity & closeness. A magpie landed in my arms & held me, like a baby holding close & completely to a mother's chest. It stayed the entire dream. I felt her breathing & head nuzzling. I held her & loved her.

'Night, sweet, imperfect world.🌙

Emily Dickinson’s Herbarium: A Forgotten Treasure at the Intersection of Science and Poetry
An elegy for time and the mortality of beauty, composed with passionate patience and a sensuous cadence.

Day 8 of #ArtAdventCalendar: Took this photo of a wet Grizzly Bear a few years back in the Khutzeymateen in British Columbia, Canada. It's Canada's lone sanctuary for Grizzlies, and I hope one day, it will be the first of many. #wildlife

The Dull-mantled Antbird is a fun one. These birds are fiercely territorial and loud. If you happen across their territory, they'll let you know about it. They like steep, wet ravines with thick vegetation and don't like coming out in the open.

Beneath branch and under star, she recites her soliloquy. Thoughts woven from sleepless nights, the wishes unspent now huddled together and too heavy to soar. She tells it all. The owls know all her secrets but sometimes they share them with the moon.

So love wobbegongs. Everything is good about the wobbegong. Its name. Its flattened Oscar the Grouch face. Its frondy bits. Its lazy life as a hungry rug. And it’s a shark. Outstanding animal 10/10
The Tasselled Wobbegong is a master of disguise that can eat a fish almost as big as itself in one gulp. It's classified as a shark, but when it lays on the sea floor it looks like a harmless rug if you manage to see it. But with powerful jaws and sharp teeth they are no fish to mess with.
