Meet Luna: a clever new bunny witch made for a beloved old friend. She's wearing the tiny wool sweater my mom knit for me right before I was born for extra powers of perseverance, care & comfort. 🌒🐰🌘

After being treated dismissively at the Science Olympiad competitions to begin with (as a *girl* and a WEIRD girl at that), I wore my medals the next year like a Gothic Mr. T. That silenced the naysayers. 😈

Decided to bring some little pumpkins into the woods and hide them like Easter eggs for forest creatures to find...

Look at the gorgeous friend who's visiting my garden! Going to just embrace the cliché & name her Mary Shell-y. 🐢🕯️ #Nature #EverydayMagic

Several views of a personal favourite from my one of a kind couture creations ~ the Peacock gown! Currently winging its way to its new owner. 🌒🌕🌘

The white ginger lily (Hedychium coronarium) in my garden has burst into bloom. It's nearly as tall as me, w/several feisty hummingbirds dividing time between devouring delicious nectar & challenging eachother to duels. My little sword-faced dudes, there's enough to go around, really!

This modified mid-length version of my shadow-striped coatdress sold before I had a chance to post about it, but I thought it came out quite elegantly & just wanted to share:

Did I venture forth early this morning in order to catch this behemoth of an Amorphophallus titanum in its rare flowering form (they remain open for just 24-48 hours)? Yes, yes I did.

*The ladder behind it helps give a sense of its height! #FlowerReport #CorpseFlower

A moment of calm -
blue dragonflies rest nearby
the sound of water.

Photos of a gorgeous, large (approx. 5ft long) non-venomous black racer snake I caught sight of right before it completely obscured itself behind this stone. A good reminder to keep situational awareness when out & about.

Wasps can make such beautiful nests (& paper ones especially if they find and collect various rainbow-coloured bits). Here's one I found nestled in a tree. Can't help but admire their skill!

✨Silent fireworks are a thing.✨

All who thank vets? Consider possible after-effects of their service too (+the other animals/humans with noise sensitivities) when setting off celebratory boom-booms.

There are other ways to do this ~ every bit as good & for many (+ the environment), way better.

In celebration of the Go-Away birds & all those who embody their spirit.

Black Goth Appreciation Day? Or simply Black Goth Appreciation, period? Sounds good!

To celebrate, here's the wickedly wondrous Sonalii in a gown I designed for her to wear at our Tea Party shoot for Faerie Magazine (now @enchantedlivingmag.bsky.social).

As a #FlowerReport bonus ~ an unassuming nearby blossom soaking up the heat of the sun, dreaming of someday becoming a strawberry of its own.

For #SummerSolstice, may I present you with some *perfect*, nigh-impossibly red strawberries I picked in a local field? ❤️

On the Blue Ridge Parkway yesterday (one of the loveliest places on Earth), two men passed me carrying a bottle of wine. As I photographed the misty horizon, they strolled up & settled down to picnic next to a lone tree on the quiet hillside. One single moment in time where everything was perfect. 🌈
