More snow on it's way #Shetland #snow

Fine day for a walk ❄️😂 #Shetland #snow

The year's last light #Shetland #happynewyear

After the response to my posts about nature cure, & the conversation they opened about the myths surrounding it, I wanted to reshare this deeply personal piece. This essay is adapted from my book Drystone - A Life Rebuilt kristiedegaris.substack.com/p/what-i-bui... #Writing #Scotland #UK #Reading

Christmas eve paddling #Shetland

Midday sun at 60 degrees north 💛 On the darkest day, there is always light to be found. It can feel hard to find, harder to hold onto, but it is there. To keep and cultivate the light, to carry it into the darkness, is sometimes all that we can do #Shetland #WinterSolstice

Today's treasure ❤️ This is a Codd marble. In 1872 Hiram Codd invented a bottle with a marble to create a seal for soft drinks. These were used until around the 1930's when metal caps replaced them. They are a rare find and make wonderful seaglass pendents 💛 #Shetland

Winter light #Shetland

Some light above the house tonight #Shetland

At sixty degrees north #Shetland doesn't get much daylight in winter but the light we do get is beautiful 💛

It's the season to appreciate the names of Scottish road gritters ❄️ #Scotland #Christmas

When I write about about Shetland ponies, I am writing about love. Love for #Shetland, it's windswept hill and wild sea. Love for island memories of independence despite exploitation & love for the ponies who helped folk survive & who still connect people to land & history.

In #JapaneseFolklore there is a belief that when animals and birds reach advanced age they can transform into #yokai.

Autumn colours in the hill #Shetland

Neeps or pumpkins for #Halloween? I usually carve both. Although neeps are a pain to carve I love the rather unsettling results #Shetland

The camera on my phone can't do justice to the magic in tonight's sky #Shetland #aurora

So many rainbows today #Shetland

Wave watching in #stormbenjamin #Shetland

It's feeling very autumnal in #Shetland

Atmospheric skies in #Shetland

I have added some more seaglass pendents to my Etsy shop. There has been some beautiful seaglass washed ashore in recent storms so will hopefully have some more added soon! #Shetland www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Shet...

Pony kisses #Shetland

It's winter hairstyle season #Shetland #StormAmy

Very windy as ##StormAmy hits #Shetland

My book, Ponies at the Edge of the World, tells the story of Shetland ponies and the people who love them. Based on my PhD research, and my journey to live in Shetland, it reflects on how relationships with landscape and animals can create a sense of place and belonging #Shetland

Been making some wooden boards with fairy lights and #Shetland seaglass. Some available on Etsy, will link in comments

It's lovely to see Shetland ponies at St Ninian's Isle #Shetland

A bit breezy in #Shetland

Summer is trying to stay a little longer #Shetland

Perfect day for the beach #Shetland

Tonight's sky #Shetland

A bright and breezy start to autumn in #Shetland

Colours of a storm #Shetland

Masked raids are tools of fear, not freedom. Despite what this administration wants you to believe, they are not about “safety.” They are about letting ICE agents hide from accountability while carrying out inhumane acts.

We had some beautiful noctilucent clouds last night ❤️ Noctilucent clouds are night shining clouds formed from ice crystals that can sometimes be seen at northerly latitudes during summer. #Shetland #Scotland #noctilucentclouds
