I had a bit of fun with this year's carved pumpkins. May your Halloween be spooky not horrid and may we welcome the thin veil between worlds. #Halloween #Samhain #pumpkins

Carved pumpkins. One with a smirky, sinister smile and the other with wide eyes looking at him.

Elaborate old gravestone with angels and skulls back-dropped by a gnarly old tree in Scotland.

oh for a soft breeze
but no it's whipping wind

frost-covered grass and the last
fallen blossoms

One of my favorite fall sights: leaves turning red on this vine. #autumnalequinox #fall #nature #photography #iPhone

Ivy leaves turning red, covering side of a building.

Nature's art is where I find peace.

Sky and trees. Where my heart is.

Douglas fir trees reaching up toward a stream of bright white clouds.

melting on earth the patterns
of the last snowflakes

How are using the soap? Diluted in water? Shavings on the ground?

I'd love suggestions. I do have metal bells over small plants. I can't say I like to have chicken wire around each plant for aesthetic reasons.

triciajobrien @triciajobrien.bsky.social · Aug 6

I can't count how many supposed-to-be rabbit resistant plants I've sacrificed to bunnies. It's deflating to my enthusiasm for gardening.

triciajobrien @triciajobrien.bsky.social · Aug 6

Beautiful.
