Chronic pain life.
Nature is keen 🤟🏽
Got a thing about creeks. Birds are the best. Bugs are neat-o.
Only one existential crisis at a time, please.
Don't DM, we hardly know each other 😎

Day 3
West Coast Winter 🇨🇦
#ArtAdventCalendar
#Photography #Nature #Maples
A large, brown and wilted maple leaf tangled in bare branches poking out from a moss covered tree trunk. The background is a cluster of ivy coated tree trunks, naked of leaves, and a glimpse of the creek in between it all.

Day 2
Unsure if this falls in the category for #ArtAdventCalendar but I think it's within the rules?
The problem; repair the sofa arm, after a decade of cat claws.
The process; an experiment with colourful vintage wool found at a thrift store.

A three-section collage photo. Left photo is the beginning of a multicolour wool yarn weaving repair to a torn sofa arm. Center photo shows 3/4 complete. Right photo shows the eclectic completion.

Full moon behind clouds, above a dock on a lake. The clouds are reflected in the black water. The horizon is the outline of fir trees. The dock is lit by tealight candles and carved jack-o-lanterns.

A gravel trail flanked on either side by green ferns and sedge grass. Further ahead on the trail, tree branches arch above you, and dappled sunlight shines on the path.

It's one of those days when I wish I didn't have nerve endings. Stormy spring days are the worst.

One day at a time.

#Photography #Nature #Flower #SpringBlossoms
White plum blossoms on mostly bare branches, but there are a few small, bright green leaves emerging. The background is of more bare branches, unfocused and tangled.

That wasn't too difficult now, was it, Google?
Screenshot of provincial park information on Google that is now correctly identified as provincial, not state.

Google search of a provincial park in BC calling it a state park in the description.

Answers can often be found in the very places you visit every day, once you see them from a different perspective.

Peeking through an overhanging conifer branch at a running creek, surrounded by a light dusting of snow that covers the ground and accentuates the outlines of fallen logs, branches, trees & grasses.

The scraggly, red-orange flowers of a Witch Hazel shrub opening like streamers exploding. Grey, unfocused sky in the background, along with unfocused branches covered in more blooming clumps.

Foreground is a pile of driftwood logs, stacked haphazardly on each other, leading to estuary grasses and low tide beach, and above it all a cloudless blue sky. In the distance, the outlines of smaller islands.

Winter beverages.
A white tiled kitchen counter, with the rinds of 3 squeezed lemons, a teaspoon, a jar of homemade cinnamon honey, a bottle of Captain Morgan's dark rum and a handheld citrus juicer.

Getting some good sniffs here 🐕
Recent storms & a couple of drought summers have created some danger trees along the trails.

Where are all the resistance songs?
The battle-cries of the hippie souls?
We need you now.
We need you again.
We need to remember what we have to fight for.

Sunburst through bare tree branches on the top left of the frame. Blue sky through bare branches on the top right. Foreground is a shallow creek rippling over rocks, with sunlight sparkling on the surfaces. The creek is flanked by low brown grass and green ferns.

Reflection.
Regression.
Reflect.
Regret.
And do it all again.

#Photography #Nature
A cloudy grey sky is reflected in a dark, calm pond, along with a shoreline of conifer trees, brown brush & reed grasses. A spindly bare branch reaches out over the top left of the frame.

Sometimes.
All I need is the air that I breathe.
And to love you.

Looking up the trunk of a moss covered tree. All the branches have moss hanging off them as well.

Arghhh! The perfect setup! And me, with only my phone's digital zoom. 🤦🏻‍♀️

#Photography #Nature
Blue heron on a partially submerged log in the water. Perfect reflection in the water. Background is brown grasses. Unfortunately, it's very pixelated because I used the phone's camera and zoomed in.
