A few valiant snowdrops are out in my Devon garden. #snowdrops #garden

Lots of water and debris at Tumwater Falls (Deschutes River) today. We started off with a bit of blue between clouds before it darkened up a bit. A spectacular day out there ✨️

A few photos from Sunday - walked up the zig-zag trail and went into the Legislative Building to find the Christmas trees still holding onto their needles. Hope everyone has a good week and, if you're in the snow's path, you're getting along well! Stay warm #WalkAbout #TractorsRock #FarmersRock

A morning with a cup of coffee and the pup cozied-up. A bit of slanted sun and welcoming guests this afternoon with roast chicken, followed by some needle felting or whatever fiber arts we get into. Can't get much better than this 😍

🎄📮 Posting my Christmas cards this morning was a very pleasant experience, thanks to #Yarm #YarnBombers …!

Which words have given you happiness this year? I’d love to hear them. (And if you fancy some distraction over the holidays, do give my word game Two Words a try. twowords2.page.link/play)

Or toasted pumpkin bread 😉 😍

I missed #MushroomMonday again, but here's an orange fly agaric from the weekend (poisonous), and a token pup photo to make up for any disappointment 😉 #DogsOfBluesky

I was today years old when I learned that James Edward Austen-Leigh, Jane Austen's nephew & memoirist, was a practitioner of cut-paper silhouettes! (Attn: @catrionamac.bsky.social !) Here's one Austen-Leigh created as an illustration for his aunt's Sense and Sensibility. This is Barton Cottage:

Up the zig-zag trail this afternoon in Olympia as a warm day drew out lots of walkers. Bonus was the lovely view and that incredible earthy smell. #WalkAbout

It's Friday-Floors-Day, meaning I think too much about vacuuming and mopping instead of just getting to it. Happy Friday everyone. I hope you have a fine day, whether you're working or lolling or something in between! Meanwhile, here's a pup picture ... cant wait for the cup of tea later!

Incoming storm Isle of Harris, Outer Hebrides, #Scotland

-17 C last night created some icy magic out there!! #Scape #Photography #EastCoastKin

Turkey and cranberries and pie, the love of my granddaughter, hip-to-hip, sharing stories and dreams, art stuff and pre-algebraic principles, and now a soaking drive home. So, so very grateful 😊 💖 #Thanksgiving

I've been waiting for this shot! #Photography #EastCoastKin

Call me old-fashioned, but I much prefer doing my research amidst the shimmering glow of lanterns in an old-fashioned library in Prague during a thunderstorm, so I therefore must politely decline your suggestion to “just Google it.”

What is this ... A trio of snowflakes for the days beginning Saturday night? Well goodbye November! Wondering if we'll wake up to a dusting. We're a bit behind Orkney this year #PacificNorthwest

When I make a smashing toasty requiring a double fisted exercise to keep it together, I often think between bites, 'I could sell these!' But then I remember not everyone likes a sloppy dripping-on-the-plate sandwich. My husband looks at me like I'm a bit batty 😂 😋 #Dinner

20th November. Half past 4. A month until the winter solstice.

Absolutely missed #MushroomMonday if there is such a thing. Caught up with these slick beauties near Kennedy Creek while on a walk to see the incredible final journey of our Pacific Northwest chum salmon.

And now, live from Orkney for #StandingStoneSunday, the Stenness 360.

Way too much dye, ack, but my first experiment dying wool was fun nonetheless. And I'm hooked. I may have to build a room 😂 #Felting #FiberArts #Wool

It has been a very busy day for pup and dad, with me tagging along in the garden. Sometimes the head is just too heavy 😂

Always something amazing going on in the garden #AutumnColors #WalkAbout #PacificNorthwest

Concrete walkway stones are in place now with lots more to do by way of succulents and drought-friendly grasses, but I'm quite happy with how the path itself turned out. 😀 Weighing in at almost 30lbs a piece, my brawny husband did most of the heavy lifting, while I did digging and wiggling them in

Glen Luss and Beinn Eich last week

Today is #NationalSandwichDay so we've made a Jam and Cleese sandwich. 🥪

Goodbye October, hello November! A glorious November day with beautiful autumn sunshine. Have a wonderful Sunday everyone! 🍁🌱 #Autumn #AutumnColours #NatureWalks #NaturePhotography #November #NovemberSunshine

Haystacks at Giverny - 1893 https://botfrens.com/collections/41/contents/10593

We've gotten rid a of a couple areas of grass, in the front and back gardens, and replaced these portions with both rock and bark. With the pineapple express coming in shortly, we'll soon see if our topography changes prevent the pond forming out front 🤞 pics later

The Isle of May Grey Seal season has (at last) kicked off and we had a count of 80 pups today as the blog explains: isleofmaynnr.wordpress.com

🍂 Homestead harvests - late September 🥙 Some of the fruit, veg & herbs growing here on my plot on a hill in west Wales. Some outside, others such as the watermelon and aubergines in polytunnels. Sloes foraged down my lane. Food for dinners this week & preserving for meals throughout the winter 🌱

While visiting Orkney this summer with my partner Richard @richard013.bsky.social I was so excited to be on the Hoy ferry with the @orkneylibrary.bsky.social van which I think is called "Booky McBookface"! I love to follow Orkney Library on social media so to see this superstar was a real treat!

Oidhche mhath folks, enjoy what's left of your evening, I'm calling it a day, stay safe, sleep well. 1. Sunrise over Davaar Island. 2. The golden hour before sunrise, from Kildalton, Islay. 3. Campbeltown sunset. 4. Loch Coulin in full Autumn glory.
