Sometimes life just be like this

A screen from the video game Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective. The main character is shown with the dialogue bubble: "Tomorrow morning, I cease to exist. That doesn't give me a whole lot of time..."

A perfect winter's morning.

Show shoveled away to reveal the undulating, frozen surface of a lake. The frozen path meanders.

Morning sun over a snow-covered lake. Sihoutetted trees line the horizon.

A person with a long pony tail, in a fluffy pink coat, stands, facing away from the viewer on a snow-covered frozen lake.

A beached boat and dock at the edge of a snow-covered frozen lake. Homes and trees ring the shoreline.

Got to walk on a frozen lake for the first time in my life today. It was as amazing as I imagined it would be. 💕

Snow around a dark, refrozen ice fishing hole.

Undersurface cracks and snow on a frozen lake.

We’re mocking up game screens and making assets over here. Streaming on twitch every weekday this month. Keeping my butt-in-chair to progress on this game! Always pushing what we can fit in 320x240 pixels.

California chaparral under a blue, pink, and pale sky. Almost like a trans pride flag makes the horizon.

These come out of research into some beautiful mason bees who pollinate prickly pear cactus and who lay their eggs in snail shells. Some N. American Osmia species bees have come to prefer imported, European shells, sharing a common trait with their Osmia bicolor cousins in Europe who do the same.

from USGS Bee Inventory and Monitoring Lab, a specimen of Osmia conjucta. A blue-green jewel-toned bee with yellow setae (hairs).

If you'll be around IL/Chi in Sept and you want to camp at a small, regional burn--hosted by long-time Burners, but welcome to everypeep--then come to BURN Burn!

I'll be there volunteering, providing art like the Carnix™, and bringing my gear to jam!
