I plan to post at least one of my photos a day here on Bluesky. I design each of my photos using recent research into the benefits to mental health of looking at plants & patterns in nature.

I'm going to buy myself a tiny Christmas tree👇 (that doesn't cost a limb plus my firstborn) & make all its decorations by hand. Younger daughter is *very* much in.Will post what we make.There'll probs be tiny handmade festive owls & gently twinkling yuley ammonites. Doing it for my mental 'elf.Yep🌲🧠
When my depression’s especially bad I bring myself to the garden centre for the very good fractals. Ngl I’m tempted to buy myself a tiny Christmas tree & handmake all the decorations as a project to help my brain.🌿

Can personally testify to how brilliant @silverpebble2.bsky.social’s calendars are. She only uses the highest quality paper, inks and photography. Check out her books and journal, too. Gorgeous! Would far rather support independent creative folk than mega billionaire online ‘shop’ owners. *cough*

Today my brain has seized up-full autistic shutdown or maybe a breakdown relapse-they feel the same. Working, moving, even simple chores are impossibly exhausting & I can see no value in myself. I’ve got myself out of this before by finding small good things…

Daughter climbing a huge ancient willow tree earlier👇🏼.
Her: ‘This could be our tree’
Me: ‘I think it already is.’
We took a blanket & sat in our willow nest till an hour after sunset, ate chocolate in its branches and made eachother wreath bracelets from two of its slenderest twigs. 🌿
