The moon and Venus. A favorite shot from February 2025. As much as I love a dramatic, cloud filled sunset, this kind of night sky is my favorite. So peaceful 🌙✨️

Enough conversation about graffiti and tagging. Let’s talk about pure unadulterated Mother Nature at its most shining example. Crater Lake does it for me every time.💕😊

Inside the mother of all Neolithic tombs ... Newgrange in Ireland. This photo, from excavator Michael O'Kelly's book, shows the chamber (with spiral carving) that is illuminated via the famous roofbox opening at winter solstice. A 5,200-yr-old celebration of the return of the sun. #TombTuesday

This is a comfort knit, done just for the fun of it, destined to be a jar cozy for keeping my tea warm.
Ball bands long lost to time, deep stash 75/25 sock yarn.
Colourwork from Selbu Patterns, pattern itself doodled on the fly.

A great magic circle splendid and special clasping some long lost rich garment. The Strickland Brooch at the British Museum is bewitching in its beauty.

In my excitement at finally seeing these Tibetan Snowcocks, I took neither a good photo nor a video! This was up at 17,000 ft with Gokyo Lake below and Everest somewhere in the background!
