So gorgeous. I can almost feel the delicate petals and hear their whispers of the fae.

There’s something sacred about water in the woods, where deer become vulnerable as they lower their heads to drink, and reflections blur the line between life and perception. #ForestFriday #EastCoastKin @adkinsarboretum.bsky.social

Gifts meager, hearts full. Alone time in my parents 25th anniversary recliner my sibs gifted them in ‘79. Ten nephews &nieces were rocked in it &read to by my dad. My parents loaned it to me for my 2nd child. Now, it sits by my blue memory Xmas tree. It’s held years of love💛 #XtraXmas #family

Merry Christmas from our family to you and yours! #happyholidays #papertrees #photography #joy #family #christmasontherock #sepia #eastcoastkin #newfoundland #smArtist #AlphabetChallenge #WeekZForZero #SensoryArt

Thank you Impulsive Avocado, wherever you are!

I tend to go towards nature or deep hues and golds. However, I was late to the wreath-making & those items had already been spoken for. So, I challenged myself to make something ‘outside’ of what I’d normally do. I can’t say I’m displeased with the outcome. Two sides gearing up for a snowball fight🤣

“True darkness cannot exist where there is love and understanding. Tending to your own flame and hearth isn’t selfish; it’s essential.”

May we stop fearing our darkened shadows as though they were our truths. May we allow light through our shattered souls until fear refracts into color. #ArtAdventCalendar

A newly released Epstein document includes a letter that Jeffrey wrote to fellow sex offender Larry Nassar, alleging that Donald Trump “shares [their] love of young nubile girls.” (www.justice.gov/epstein/file...)

US media has decided to pretend that the Epstein-Nassar Letter Epstein sent just before he died merely had a "crude reference" to Trump. NO. It was a clear, unambiguous allegation by Epstein that Trump *regularly sexually assaulted* "young, nubile girls." Our media is BROKEN.

As someone with several immune issues and having just received four vaxes - I’m not sure what level of life I’ll be living these next days. 😮‍💨

Capturing my inner feral child who roamed the forests &hills so I can work her magical &mythical world into my poetry during an at-home writing retreat. These cards helped flesh out my latest poem found here: open.substack.com/pub/jempoetr... #poetry #Writing #nature #BlueSkyPoets #poet

What becomes and takes shape in the dark, waits for the birth of light to be born. Blessings on the longest night 🦋

I like this countdown…

No filter. No words. #Stunday #photography #EastCoastKin

Come join the MAGA Youth and maybe sign up for our Brown Shirt thugs who arrest brown people. (It’s like wearing the swatch to know what color to arrest.) Let’s Make America Genocidal Again! 🙄😡🤬

We often feel pressure to prove our worth. I reflect upon my journey of reconnecting with nature’s acceptance. Wisdom I once learned from my father, and with which I want to reconnect. Link to #poem below. #poetry #BlueSkyPoets #nature

This piece pleases both the physics and poetic parts of my brain💛💛

How it began…how it ended. Definitely don’t feel comfortable with watercolors, yet. Yes, most likely, much of my work will be shiny 😉 I’ve still got years to make my inner Plain-dressing child happy…☺️ And yeah, I’ve never been good at following art directions.

Lost in the sauce from this Spring… #ArtAdventCalendar 🪶

#ProudBlue #Pinks #ResistanceUnited Good morning, friends. Shine authentically, embracing imperfections! Be honest. Be real. Be messy. Be unapologetically YOU! And don’t worry about anyone who doesn’t accept you for being you. #Jaye’sMorningLight

My holidays contain heavy histories. This year added its own ache. When pain is beyond my control? I doodle. Tiny scratches of ink where control still lives.

Cause why would our vets need healthcare?

We didn’t have Christmas trees in my family. We had a cardboard fireplace (until the folds separated), manger scene &blue ‘candles’ in the windows. Blue-my dad’s favorite color. So now I have 2 trees. My blue tree keeps vigil &shines on a photograph of my dad. #BlueSkyMonday

Good morning and happy Monday! Have a fantastic start to the new week. ☕❄️💕🌺🐾✨ #Pinks

Recalculating. Trump must also be in charge of migratory routes and just randomly black-sharpie-changing them. #BlueSkyMonday

‘Tis the season… The holiday concert I’ve been looking forward to for some time!💛 @elevatevocalarts.bsky.social

‘‘Tis the season… Summer bloom, stilled by snow, unprepared for the hour that gathers what lingers. #photography #poetry

“According to former ICE officials interviewed by the Times, the program can help the agency meet its high deportation quotas.” Ethnic cleansing has quotas.

Driftwood Santas. I keep forgetting to bring in some evergreens. Douglas fir is my favorite as the needles don’t drop easily. #giftideas
