#ArtAdventCalendar Day 06 Yesterday was overcast, a bit of snow + ice fog left trees slightly frosted (hoping for white views today!) Late afternoon light made the photos look rather abstract, my permission to play around a bit more! (see alt). #Alberta #BorealForest #trees #frost #winter 📷🌿

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 05 Someone here (it's not me) takes great pleasure in holiday decorations-vintage, budget, home-made, re-combined! They go up+ come down gradually from mid November to mid February. Just a small taste, no doubt more to come... #decorations #Solstice #holidays #Christmas 📷

Whoa, I think I'm caught up! lol #ArtAdventCalendar Day 04 view from a short trip to town today. Pretty clouds- I think there were flurries/showers but we didn't encounter them. Snowing lightly now, still warmish, tomorrow colder again...

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 03 (I have 04 pics edited, but will I have the oomph to write alt for those tonight?..lol)
We've had several moderate snowfalls recently with warmth making things a little messy but also nice #HolidayDecorations #ChristmasLights #TimeOfIce #Latvian #pagan #Alberta #nature 📷🌿

Snow Mother hasn't been around that much this year, but she's starting to catch up this week. #winter #pagan #Latvian #animist #WitchSky + #RoseWednesday 🌱📷

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 01 (late!) A dark image to remind us as we await the sun's return in the north, that we also need to honour and celebrate the Darkness. Blood, soil, womb, rest, regeneration, rebirth- these are all tied to darkness. #TimeOfIce #PaganSky #animist #winter #Alberta 📷🌿

We've had a little more snow + a few wintry days (-20C/-4Fish tonight, before warmer again this week). For no particular reason, I dug back to early October for some autumnal garden images. This is one of the rock gardens in front of the house. names in alt #autumn #Alberta 🌱📷 #gardening #alpines

#Throwback to #fall on this increasingly white day! Non-native Cotoneaster, presumably #BirdSown on the farm. I know them from just a couple of spots (1 or 2 plants ea) and they are heavily browsed by moose, deer or cows or all 3 so they don't gain much size + #ladybug #Alberta #plants #insects 🌿🌱📷

Last week's #snow didn't last long- patches in shady places a day or two; since then we've been above to well above average temperatures, which continues for the next few days at least: colder next week #sunset #snow #Winter #CrossQuarterDay #Alberta #Canada #PaganSky #photography #weather

The squirrels have been working on #Solstice #decorations! (and winter food supply, they've been working on their winter food supply..) 🌿 📷 #nature #Alberta #BorealForest #WitchSky

#Pearly likes to come out while I'm working outside, usually lounging around on the open porch or on the grass just below the steps. She also likes to go (not far) to the wood storage area when I'm working there. Here's a short vid of her eating grass

Seems I'm always stopping work to move some little #critters out of harm's way! (at least until the deep cold arrives!) This time it was a cute little #Ladybug when I was cutting firewood in the bush #Alberta #insects #Countryliving 🌿

Geranium sanguineum Bloody (Blood-red, really) Cranesbill. In summer it sports green leaves and pink flowers- not very bloody! The #autumn foliage seems more fitting for the name and I did see a claim online that that is what it is named for. (But!-see reply) #garden #plants #Alberta 📷🌱

Last Sunday we had our 1st #snow of the season. A fairly mild to warm week, most is gone, with little bits in shady spots. Today cloudy, chance of rain/thunderstorms, but another week forecast mostly above average. #commute #alberta #autumn #landscape #SnowMother #PaganSky #Latvian #weather 📷

First #snow Saturday/Sunday (it's not early- *August* would be early, September typical, October late!) Just a few cm; nights have been -5 to -9C /23 to15F, days near/below 0C- so snow has stuck around for now

This woodpecker has been visiting the apple-crabs- It flies in with a great cackling noise, settles on the tree to peck at apples for a while, then flies off to season its meal with its regular fare-insects.

The lovely #seed heads of native Northern/Canada Hawkweed Hieracium umbellatum Every #season has its #beauty 🙂 #nature #WildPlants #BorealForest #Autumn 🌿📷 🌱This one is growing wild on the acreage but it has found its way into a couple of garden beds- I'm happy to see it where there's space #Alberta

I've been trying to take advantage of warm dry #autumn weather to get ready for winter. While in my woodcutting area a Mourning Cloak #Butterfly joined me for a bit+ #FallColour has been building- probably near peak now + a great #lichen patch #Alberta #nature #BorealForest #GetOutside #BugSky 🌿

Fewer flowers day by day- no notable frost yet, but can't be far.. A few #weeds here and there are popular with the remaining #pollinators This tiny #bee and #fly were enjoying one of the last #flower heads on Cirsium arvense/Creeping Thistle last week #nature #BugSky #insects #Alberta 🌱🌿📷

I don't have tons of late #flowers -especially since in normal years we'd be likely to have frost by now so plants are wrapping up! Luckily the Comfrey Symphytum officinale is still flowering- these have flowered for months, and I've chopped off mounds that flopped/went to seed #bees #pollinators 🌱📷
