Have you ever heard of culturally modified trees?
These trees relatives carry knowledge. They hold memory.
Indigenous presence is not just in the past — it’s in the landscape all around us.

I was driving by this lake Sunday and noticed that the lotus blossoms there were pink and not white like the ones at the other lake, so I paddled out early this morning before work to get a closer look. 🪷
The lotus grows through mud, rises through water, and blossoms in the sunlight. 🪷 #lotus

I've been producing videos more lately and was feeling rusty with my editing skills. So I have been playing around in #FinalCutPro and learned how to edit vertical videos with footage my SONY Alpha in Final Cut! I'm old skool and prefer editing on my desktop instead of an app on my phone.
