Hello,
I've been feeling rather
sad/furious/scared/exhausted/broken/isolated
of late, and with little I want to share of my own work, I've been reposting other people's: art, photography, nature, books. It's good to see people out there making things 💙
#hello #diary #photography #Scotland #lost

A close up photograph of the word 'lost' inscribed on a memorial at the Necropolis in Glasgow - photo by me. The stone is grey flecked with orange yellow, which is perhaps a type of lichen. The word is all lower case and black in the indent of the carving.

Sun bathing.

A photo of an Antony Gormley statue stood, ankle-deep, in calm river water. Autumnal leaves in the background.

Making people afraid to be affiliated with antifascism—making people afraid to be associated with groups and people that actively oppose fascism—is some bleak shit.

Day off, and another stunner of a day. Tomorrow, I *might* actually leave the estate for a change 😆

I also have around 9 pieces I can't make available because I haven't varnished them.

Completely out of varnish so I'm hoping for a miracle. I have been holding on to these pieces for a while and it's killing me.

On 10 October 2025, the Slender-billed Curlew (Numenius tenuirostris) was officially declared extinct. This is the first known global extinction of a formerly widespread migratory bird species, and “is a wake-up call for us to take action for its Eurasian cousin”.

They’re incredibly messy but love starting art journal pages with Dylusions water reactive spray inks. I always do a bunch at once because of the mess involved.

Apples, apples, apples! The workshop is stuffed with apples for storing and juicing, so I've had to start using the tool shed. It's the very best apple year I can remember.🌱

Fiery sunrise this morning. Mt. Hood. Portland Oregon. ❤️🧡☀️

Mt. Hood. Sunrise. Dark landscape and conifers. Lighter shade of mountain top, some snow showing, plume like cloud at the peak, surrounded by bright red-orange sky and clouds, topped with gray clouds.

Lights and Shadows
A raw, almost unedited glimpse into the ever-changing play of light and weather here in Swedish Lapland. It’s hard to put into words just how vast and open this landscape truly feels.

We like literary approaches, but we also dig genre and pulpy takes as well. Art house or grindhouse. Subvert usual monster tropes or create something unspeakable.

We recently enjoyed re-visiting our #KincardineONeil Village Ramble, and have updated the guidance … 😀

(221) Kincardine O’Neil Village Ramble (Aberdeenshire)

This is a very pleasant walk in a mixed rural landscape on Deeside and along the banks of the River Dee itself. There are good views throughout, and many historical associations.

When you take a closer look at the big flocks of Snow Geese, you realize that 40% are the smaller look-alike Ross's Geese! #SK

A flock of snow and Ross's Geese (in red circles) rise up off a cultivated field.
