Mum & Art of Note
Today is the anniversary of Mum’s death. She died when I was 10. I went to a ballet thing while she sat at home, at the end of hope & when I came back she gave me a little handpainted trivet with a ballet dancer on it. Later that night she was taken to hospital for the last time 🧵
My lovely mum - sepia photo Mum’s death notice at Bretby Crematorium. Featuring the midwive’s crest - more painting and calligraphy I was inspired by, the dna of a lot of my art is swathed in sadness It reads: Clark, Pamela Christine SRN SCM Constantly loved and always remembered By her husband. Children, family and friends: Lived and worked by her midwives motto "Life is the gift of God." Called to higher service.

Thank you so much to everyone who supported my book! I feel so lucky to be still able to make it on the NYT best-sellers list. I could not have these achievements without such a supportive community. Thank you!!!

That's my photo! How cool is that?? (Although I do hope the original user bought a copy from one of the stock photo agencies I work with and didn't just lift it from my social media feed.)
Straight-on view of a white bird's head (herring gull) with yellow eye and yellow bill. The gull has its head and neck tilted to the right and is staring charmingly into the camera.

It’s just bonkers to me that many cannot even fathom that people enjoy and seek out corny stuff and silliness.

Me. Says no to a cheeky thing.

Me. Triggered. Think I am in trouble. Lose out on thing.
Feel terrible. Worry about people’s reactions to me saying no.

Yeah. Setting boundaries is hard.

My RSD is out of hand at the moment. It’s been such a tough year despite all the nice new/old BF wuvs. (And HIS behaviour just highlights how hard I try with everyone else and how little softness I tend to get in return). And I am SO WEARY and a bit sad about it all, pals… deep breaths…
Life can be so WAK, homies… Duck everything…

Christmas is coming
The goose is getting fat

Grace in simplicity. A Little Ringed Plover wading quietly through the calm shallows, a perfect fit for today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme: #paddling birds.

One of my favorite rainforest butterflies, the Ithomia diasia is one in the family of clearwings. They have translucent areas of their wings. At @casabentbill.bsky.social

I really need to get to bed, but I just poked my head out the back door again. This is the view from my deck. All of this is looking south. When the geomagnetic storms are like this, the oval overshoots me and stretches into the US, which is why so many are seeing it tonight. #aurora
A bright red glow reaches up into the darkness, illuminating the silhouettes of tall slightly scraggly, spruce trees Swirls of green and red light sweep down from the sky, lighting up the forest and contrasting against the Stark silhouettes of trees Dramatic swirls of green and red light swirl down from the middle of the sky, starkly contrasting against the bear of Poplar, tall Spruce trees. Still more dramatic curtains of light sweep down from above in sheets of green and red. The tall bear poplars and spruce spires our starkly silhouetted.
