A one lane dirt road winds through a forest. Trees with yellow leaves arch over the road, almost giving a cathedral atmosphere to the pathway.

I just learned that the Great Lakes contain 21% of the world’s surface freshwater and 80% of North America’s. Sounds about right.

Well-loved

#nature #trees #hiking #woodpeckers

Eight foot high, standing dead tree that looks more like Swiss cheese with nearly its entire structure filled with large, gaping woodpecker holes. A few short, dead branches stick out like dry arrows. The only life present on the tree is a small gathering of green moss at its base. In the background are spindly, dead trees and branches, perhaps fallen parts of this tree. There is also a boulder and lots of living, thin hemlocks.

Sometimes I don't plan a painting, I just have fun and play with the colors and see where it takes me...

Big pink cloud - handmade acrylic painting:

Big pink cloud is a hand-painted acrylic painting in a unique horizontal panoramic format by the artist Karen Kaspar.
The abstract painting is painted with loose brushstrokes in shades of purple, pink and blue. Above the lower third in darker shades of pink and purple, a large rectangle in light shades of pink stretches across the upper third of the picture. It is reminiscent of a dreamy landscape in summer with a large pink cloud in the dark blue sky above a field of lavender in bloom.
The brushstrokes and gradient transitions evoke a soothing and calm atmosphere.

This is a photo looking upward at the trajectory of a mature tree. It has a thick trunk with many branches curving outward and then upward. Most of the leaves are green, but the autumn colour change is evident as some of the leaves are just starting to turn red. Back lighting from the sky seems to illuminate the leaves as seen when standing on the forest floor.

Bright Smurf, Big Smurf (they can't hold you down)

#Fungi #Mushtodon #Nature #Photography #Smurf

A dense cluster of fungi growing on a rotting tree stump in a forest during autumn. The mushrooms are growing in layered, overlapping groups. Their caps vary in color, transitioning from a light yellowish-tan or golden-brown at the edges and in the center of the younger, upper mushrooms, to a darker, rich brown in the larger, more mature specimens below.

Many caps exhibit a slight concentric ring pattern or a change in color towards the center. They have a generally convex to flattened shape and appear smooth and somewhat moist or velvety.

The fungi are attached to a dark, textured wood surface, which is the tree material they are feeding on. The surrounding area is the forest floor, scattered with leaf litter in various shades of brown and yellow.

I am re-reading one of my favorite #books: "The Snow Leopard" by Peter Matthiessen. It is a #travel book set in 1973 in #Nepal as the author accompanies a #science expedition into the #Himalayas. It is a book about #nature and a #Buddhist introspection on grief and change.

The cool thing is that I am #reading the chapters on the day they were set. A really nice experience if you have never read such a book like that before.

#bookstodon #buddhism @bookstodon

An e-reader displaying a passage titled "OCTOBER 10" from the book "The Snow Leopard." The text on the screen reads -"In the glory of sunrise, spiderwebs glitter and greenfinches in October gold bound from pine to shining pine. Pony bells and joyous whistling; young children and animals jump as if come to life. One beautiful child has a silver necklace and red-green strips of rag braided into crow-black hair; the infant she carries papoose-style is her own.

A day so fine for travel is also fine for harvesting potatoes. The new porters refuse to depart, nor will they give up the pay advanced to them to buy food. "Dhorpatan no-good people," says Phu-Tsering. To find nine men, Jang-bu stays behind, and Gyaltsen stays with him, guarding the loads"

Bright yellow and blue

* The photography process is also back up and running again after the fibre meltdown that occurred over the weekend 🥳

#BloomScrolling #MindfullWeekend #Nature #Photography

This photo, taken from a low angle, looks up at a cluster of bright yellow flowers against a vibrant blue sky with wispy white clouds. The flowers, which appear to be a daisy-like variety, frame the top and sides of the image. The sunlight shines through the petals and leaves, giving them a translucent, glowing quality. A few leaves and stems are visible in the foreground, creating a sense of depth and making the viewer feel as though they are lying on the ground looking up.

Okay so I feel like mastodon.social is a little too general for me. I feel like I want more of a safe space for #neurodivergent folks, and folks who want to #decolonize their minds. Genuine #BIPOC allies. #culture enthusiasts. #history geeks. Like #nature and #geology. #witchy but the ancestral folk wisdom, grandma kind.

...too general still? But too specific for general. 😤
