As nights lengthen and darkness prevails, weave yourself into these 3 word tapestries…
if you dare to experience #poetry that tests all edges, shatters stone walls, defies all monsters, swoons the soul into peace and reminds us that ducking for cover is not living🍂🍁

On today’s #MorningWalk, the tattered rags of night-sailing clouds became fortunetellers… predictive of a coming storm 🔮☔️

This is wonderful! And true.

My book The Nine-Tailed Fox 🦊 has within its pages a narrative poem about tree foxes and centers on some of the mysteries of forests that we are only beginning to comprehend.
I wrote it after reading The Hidden Life of Trees… a fascinating book if you’re interested.🍃

I’m very pleased by this!

My books are filled with imagery inspired by nature and I post my pictures to share the beauty of where I’m lucky enough to live… as well as share possible inspiration for others here.
I am glad to know one of my photos sparked this wonderful idea!

Enjoy writing it! 🍄📝

Flaming colors burning quietly under faultless blue #October skies… from the bells of monk’s cress to a pollen-dusty marigold to a ladder of bittersweet climbing towards heaven🌼🍁

… and as your time is siphoned away, no more energy remains to notice that they’ve stolen your years and possibly your health away from you.

Took a moment to appreciate the divine in the sun’s fire caught up in the complex simplicity of everyday leaves… which we all take for granted 🍁🍂

A waning moon made eerie by fast-flowing storm clouds, driven by capricious easterly winds gravid with water gathered up from the sea 🌊 💨

Summer’s red deer have begun to fade into their winter grey coats, becoming shy and shadowy among the drowsing trees🦌🍁🍂

After stellar performances the last two mornings, the moon was feeling shy today and hid behind a curtain of storm clouds… so the sun decided to steal the show in a costume of audacious colors 🌕☀️

A #HarvestMoon pouring out a flood of light, silver plating defined edges, causing a misty bridal veil of earthbound fog to glow, and creating shadows far darker and tenebrous than any the sun can cast🌕🍂

Rather than the sun, the harvest #moon painted the dawn skies this day… giving Orion a rare backdrop of serene blue and setting all ablaze in shades of pumpkin orange 🌕🌠

Thanks! Here’s the promised derpy smile!
Yes, I am blessed to have my daughter-in-law as she is an absolutely beautiful soul.

I did also tell her that I know what it’s like to have a “difficult” 👀🤔 mother-in-law, and as far as I was concerned I trust my son’s choice and she needn’t worry about me!💕

A vignette I wrote about the quiet power of books that may seem trivial until the weighty presence of Time is added to the equation 📚📖

Yes!

Pratchett was right about many things and he was spot on with how the upper classes live… for 20 years I’ve worked for the uber-wealthy and their homes are all stuffed with possessions that never wear out or need replacing.

And I’m a jeans and comfy sweatshirts kind of girl!😄🍃

Seven miles spent beneath the silent stars… with crystal air magnifying their sparkling faces and making them seem close enough to reach one down to use as a guiding lantern through any sort of darkness.

We are all made of stars ⭐️ 🌌

A fine example of Sir Terry Pratchett’s “boots theory” of socioeconomics!
Plus that’s a nice-looking belt 😊💰

On little cat feet, the fiery colors of fall are padding silently in, flaming brightly in the corners of eyes thirsty for a change of season🍁🍂

Did you know that mares can lay eggs that contain all the dreams needed to make up a life?

This #October immerse yourself in The Night Mare as falling leaves dance in chill autumn winds🍁🍂

JMW Turner’s Death on a Pale Horse asks us to consider: what has caused the Reaper himself to succumb to the Scythe? 💀
The Night Mare searches the balance between beauty and violence in Nature, seeking an answer in the land of dreams 🌙🌌
