I expanded today, a bit closer to my truth - less shame about my past.
It can be scary, but it doesn't have to be.
This image can be frightful, or a reminder of fun memories.

Wow, thank you for this. I wasn't familiar with Hookland, but I've been looking into it, and I really appreciate the introduction, and the high compliment! You've given me a whole new lens to see through and it does feel familiar lol!

These are a strange fixture in my favorite nature site, so why not integrate.

I love the process of being captured by the tendrils.

Tiny, fragile, immortalized in death, reaching for something only to find nothing.

Much like my mind, my lens lets me be precise about what ascends to relevance - and more importantly, what does not.

"It is not that we have a short time to live, but that we waste much of it." Seneca

A dead leaf, a heart, a study, a moment of being alive. Finding beauty in nature.

Perspective is everything.

I'm finding so much beauty, so many stories, all around us.

Love it love.

Fragile, relentless, consuming.

Spider city today! One of the joys of photography for me is the surprises, like the 3rd spider on the top.

Was it "more beautiful" when full of color and impermanence? Perspective is the answer.

Hiding to survive, is the way of nature.

What makes things special, is letting them be seen.

Every day, my lens lets me see, and being seen is beautiful

Thank you! I was so surprised to see it, I was just examining a tree for my usual dead tendrils lol. You're so right, the night is so alive with, everything, so many weird and wonderful neighbors we never see

A tree frog, contemplative.
Stargazing like I was perhaps.

I love camping.
