[river crescent]

Enjoy our Faery Garden

[ripe sonnet]

some nature

from a job i did a wee way back. cold day

[rigid pulsar]

you work with the best views!

[ripe sonnet]

i do im very lucky :))

[ripe sonnet]

red tree in a cemetery

it was so vibrant irl

[dense axle]

so gorgeous

[ionic willow]

some decidedly mid flower pics
also spooky dark sunrise

very annoyed w self as went halfway to sea but chose another route midway, sunrise would have been so beautiful over the waves tho ;-;

photographed the pink one bc the colour reminded me of @dense axle

[obtuse birch]

magical photos

jelly of your adventures

[ionic willow]

I realised I am dressed like the lichen on this rock

[dense axle]

mimetizing with the rocks 🔥

[ionic willow]

Watched the sun rise (very cold)

also bad pic but one of my fav ever flowers ||I have a tattoo of one|| - hellebore

lots of v cool folklore/myth associated with them. one of the only flowers to grow in the winter (‘Christmas rose’), little signs of persistence. all parts of the plant are toxic-! and of course, v pretty

[regal crow]

omg so beautifulll

the sky never fails to amaze

[dense axle]

if toxic why so chewable

[fleet trail]

So beautiful
Thank you so much for sharing!

[ionic willow]

ofc have some bonus awful pics of the moon/Venus I took just now on my commute

The better option: go outside & see them they are very striking rn

[ionic willow]

same energy..

[fleet trail]

Hahahaha

Very strong “mum tries to take pictures of fireworks on phone and fails” energy

[ionic willow]

HAHA

yes!! I’m loling perfect analogy

[fleet trail]

Everyone knows the sort of person we mean

Facebook album called “bonfire night 2009 x”, 111 photos

Not a single fucking usable picture

I actually thought the moon picture was cool though!

Lovely crescent

[ionic willow]

It’s so beautiful rn

Idk if you have clear skies near you, and obviously this was not visible in my pic, but you can just about make this out rn

[fleet trail]

Oh shit that’s cool

No visibility from where I am rn
Mostly cloudy 😭

[ionic willow]

It sets at 22:46

So maybe tomorrow ;-;

[fleet trail]

Praying to the celestial keepers

[tardy hinge]

I saw the moon tonight!! She was stunning, I should have taken a pic

[maiden sequoia]

The tulips are two weeks early this year

[dense axle]

the colorr

[tardy hinge]

They’re very pretty but that is concerning haha

[tardy hinge]

Pics from when I used to live in a desert in the middle of nowhere(West Texas) The one sand dunes pic is from when I was on a road trip(west of Yuma, Arizona)

some of the most surreal landscapes I have ever witnessed

[torpid crow]

Some videos from my backyard today

[ripe sonnet]

windy climb today

[ripe sonnet]

love the gorse no really cool tho !! warm sunny waves

[torpid crow]

What a VIEW

[torpid crow]

Yea lovely spot I would've loved to get in and surf but was nice just watching a mate of mine

[ripe sonnet]

trip to the pinnacles in the coromandel

[torpid crow]

Oh coromandel is heaven on earth

[ripe sonnet]

yea it was sooo nice id never been before

[ionic willow]

Gorse season here too - so surreal to see it on the other side of the world, also blooming!

Idk if you have it over there but there is a saying that ‘when gorse is out of bloom, kissing is out of season’

With the idea that it always flowers somewhere (thinking abt it this is a very romantic spin on the invasive species lmfao)

[torpid crow]

Never heard this but also there is never not gorse in my area haha

[torpid crow]

Beauty

[regal crow]

the moon is backwards! :0

if this is a new pic lol

[karmic prawn]

Popped over the sea to my fav castle since I was little claiming as my own

[ionic willow]

Literally jumped for joy seeing this (i am cringe) but this means lilac infused goods soon!! Exciting

cool hellebores/three cornered leek/graffiti of @torpid crow

[ionic willow]

also this little guy kept bothering me (maybe bc they are territorial at this time of year? idk) & I saw what I think is a cormorant. it was diving for fish

[river crescent]

stop right there u criminal ✋😡

ur in his territory!

[ripe sonnet]

ive been thinking about this comment of yours for almost 24h now. i saw the moon tonight and it was def this way around. hemisphere stuff mayb???

[torpid crow]

Pretty accurate graffiti

[torpid crow]

Can confirm the moon was this way around tonight

[ripe sonnet]

i found some three cornered leek a while ago and got so excited lol i love safe and yummy forage potential

[regal crow]

it depends on the phase of course but yeah! I googled it n ppl in the south see the moon "upside down"
which makes sense when u think about it (globe) but yeah wild

and at the equator it's in the middle, looks sideways

[maiden sequoia]

that is a cormorant

also lilacs!!!

[thorn anvil]

ahhh i love lilacs so much

[twin plover]

ourple floor💜

[twin plover]

OMG Ive been seeing them around n my mom was like hey wasnt that the one they told u u could eat

she rememberedd

[ionic willow]

That is so cute ahhh!! I love that she remembered it this is a glori’s mum stan account

[twin plover]

YESS i love how everytime we see a cool plant or fungi shes like quick go snap a pic n show it to yout 'botanical friends'

[thorn anvil]

what do you usually make with lilac? i rly want to try making lilac infused stuff but idk how to go about doing it lol

[ionic willow]

You can make:
-lilac infused sugar (literally just put the blossoms in sugar). However, the sugar will clump due to the moisture, so it is often better to dry the blooms first

• lilac infused honey - pour honey over blossoms - easier option and serves same purpose as above
• infused milk or cream (leave in fridge overnight, then filter)
• lilac water (more of a thing to add a tiny bit of perfume to stuff) - put in steamer basket and collect water in bowl underneath

With the honey and infused cream I like to make lilac cheesecake, or just put the honey on fruit

Lilac also has a natural yeast on its blooms that you can use to ferment stuff. You can use it to make a lilac soda, or add it to kombucha during your second ferment. I made lilac/strawberry booch that wat

(The booch was so pink irl!)

Oh you can also candy the blossoms but it’s a bit finicky

Maybe shows the pinkness slightly better lol

[thorn anvil]

ooo ty

[thorn anvil]

so pretty

[torpid crow]

Big san pedro cactus at work

[ripe sonnet]

lilac cheesecake omg that sounds sooooo fairycore and amazing i want to try make this happen

even tho our seasons are so mismatched ill have to try remember this in 6 months

[ripe sonnet]

that thing is massive what the heck

[torpid crow]

Right? Biggest one ive seen

[maiden sequoia]

flowers around campus

I'll take pics of more tulips soon we have so many

[thorn anvil]

ahh so pretty! also the building in the first pic is gorgeous, i love the shape of the window

[maiden sequoia]

I really like how pretty that building is too I never go in it because it's the chapel and I have a nonzero amount of religious trauma but I love looking at it

And here's some wetland with a windmill in the distance

[dense axle]

these are so gorgeous

[obtuse birch]

PWETTY PHOTOS EVERYWHERE

[twin plover]

my little succulents/ their parent plant 😭

they’re growing strong tho

[brittle shell]

dandelions growing on the lawn
this is your daily reminder to touch grass today

[regal crow]

what why is it spring fr there

wasn't it just super snowy

[brittle shell]

took this one days ago and forgor if i posted it or not but posting now because i like the vibe

[brittle shell]

nope! it's been spring for a few weeks it was almost 30° one weekend

[regal crow]

yeah I know about that but didn't it like snow after that hahaha

majority of my coworkers are in on so I hear about weather

[brittle shell]

maybe a little it rained more than snowed i think last week

was rainy last friday but not too cold i had my jacket on not a coat

[regal crow]

that's nice

here is cold

[brittle shell]

manifesting sunny days ahead for you ...

[regal crow]

but didn't get very wintery all winter except the one time it went -40

[brittle shell]

ô we had a shitty winter it kept going back and forth between mild and cold and rainy and snowy and icy and windy
it was bizarre

and the lightning storm blizzard which i wish i got video of because it was the most wild weather i have seen in my life not kidding
surreal

[dense axle]

it's too dark outside to go touch grass now

[ionic willow]

tasty treats…

[ionic willow]

Gonna spam u guys so hard later u are not ready

[ionic willow]

Jade vines my beloved…pollinated by bats!

[thorn anvil]

ooo did you go to a botanical garden?

[ionic willow]

yes! the glasshouses in Edi have been closed since the pandemic, but the Glasgow ones are open

Sorry for the spam, hope it was fun. Forgot to go to their carnivore house which from memory is pretty good

[thorn anvil]

yess! i love seeing pics of plants/flowers. Botanical gardens are always so relaxing and enjoyable

i go a lot in the winter for a mood boost lol

[ionic willow]

this is such an excellent idea

[dense axle]

so much green

[maiden sequoia]

I love it when you post botanical garden pictures Han 💚

they are so all so pretty

There's a big one + sculpture garden less than an hour away from me, I should go there sometime and share pics

I haven't been there in years

[regal crow]

whoaaoa those plants look crazy + beautiful

I wish we had that !!!

just outdoor gardens here but not much can grow most of the year
certainly nothing as cool as most of those aha

[regal crow]

do u know what the 2 flowers there are called omg I've never seen anything like them

[ionic willow]

Jade vibes for the blue ones (mentioned above in relation to bats)

think the other might be a mysore trumpet vine

[ionic willow]

(not very productive) beach clean & shell w/ pleasing colours

[karmic prawn]

these are amazing thx for sharing 🪴🌱🌺 I love the blueish green coloured fern looking one ✨

[ionic willow]

Right? It’s a selalginella but never seen such a colour! Glad u liked

[karmic prawn]

it went on a quest for uniqueness w the colouring. Also the jade vines look otherwordly

[ionic willow]

distracted at work & decided to look this up - thought you might be interested. I love that it's referred to as a 'fern ally'...friend of fern... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selaginella_willdenowii

[karmic prawn]

I love ferns so friend of ferns - we're on to something. Also appreciate the fact that it shade adapted but went like no, I can handle sun as well /goes into peacock colour scheme

[brittle shell]

love a good fern

[ionic willow]

speaking of, fiddlehead season v soon 😋

[brittle shell]

canada moment

[twin plover]

smol flowers

[ionic willow]

Ahhh cow parsley (I assume lol apiaceae notoriously hard to ID)…signs of spring such a pretty pic too

[maiden sequoia]

that's invasive here in the US

we have queen anne's lace and wild carrot which are both native tho and look similar

Very important to be able to identify the differences because a lot of the flowers that look like that are poisonous

[ionic willow]

yeah haha i was going to mention hemlock

we also have sweet cicely which is similar but smells of liquorice!

over here this stuff is very good for pollinators - lots of flowers = lots of nectar! but also a shame it’s so invasive elsewhere ;-;

When faced with danger, it tucks its head underneath, revealing eye-like markings. Simultaneously, it raises its tail. Depending on its position, you might even observe a face-like appearance, complete with a crooked mouth, where the actual legs are pressed against the second…

wilderness beast & flower with pleasing shape (am cheating, these are from yesterday)

[twin plover]

takin a lil walk

[dense axle]

I had to gather so much mental fortitude to watch this (bc bugs = ) but I think it's so dark yet interesting?? nature is wild 😭

also stick to the end to see its final form 🦋

[proven moss]

that's crazy I love nature so much

[twin plover]

anyone know what these are :o

[twin plover]

tiny ducks 🦆!!!

[ionic willow]

Looks like mock orange blossom to me

Allotment friend

[ionic willow]

not quite IDORU but the vision was there…also finally…my friends

Nurture core in second image

Images you can smell, if you know you know

[maiden sequoia]

They look like apple blossoms to me but that is a bit of a shot in the dark

[river crescent]

does anyone know what plant this is? i’m thinking strawberry

[ionic willow]

It looks like one to me as well 🙂 when it flowers you will have a better idea

[river crescent]

yay!!

it infiltrated my daďs garden

[ionic willow]

blessed invader

[twin plover]

no apples they dont make fruit

the trunk is super weird too, may thinner trunks not a big one so it looks more like a hella big bush ?

[maiden sequoia]

okay, not an apple then

idk what

[ionic willow]

not convinced by mock orange?

smells good too

[twin plover]

hmm idk it did smell good but it didnt seem like a fruit tre...

i never saw it give any f ruit as well..

[maiden sequoia]

Seek says it's a mock orange

I'm not super familiar with it, I don't think mock oranges are that common here

[twin plover]

thank u guys !!! might be then

the flower def looks alot like it

yea it says it can b in south europe so mayb

[obtuse birch]

[tired sparrow]

Walked through the forests of krabi 🧘

A lot of trees had this spiral thing like the one on the left has it was really pretty and there is a monke in bottom left

A kid gave the monkey a chip I’m surprised he just took it and ate it and didn’t attack or anything

[brittle shell]

[brittle shell]

mood for today is ichiko aoba playing a concert while seated atop a large boulder in the mountains of niigata prefecture, japan

Truly wonderful performance in the perfect venue for her sound, perched on a rock in the mountains in Akiyamago.

This performance is part of the Echigo-Tsumari Art Field festival, under the title E076 青葉市子「白い聲と花たちproduced by 島袋道浩」(Ichiko Aoba - White Voice and Flowers produced by Michihiro Shimabu

great review
this performance can also be found online on youtube dot com under the descriptive title Ichiko Aoba Plays Live On a Rock

bonus content: a sunny field elsewhere in niigata prefecture, japan
somebody get porter robinson on this beat

[ionic willow]

I adore the top photo…misty and green…perfection

As an aside, I need to get on that *Ichiko album…mentioned it to @thorn anvil & he endorsed it heavily

[brittle shell]

i am literally listening to it right now 😶‍🌫️
you must listen to it by the sea ... at dawn

[ionic willow]

that can be arranged

[brittle shell]

ok but ; can we also TALK ABOUT how BLUE the sky is in that photo wtf

[ionic willow]

I think it’s a polarising filter (or HDR?) but still very beautiful indeed

[brittle shell]

i know it's too blue to be true but i wish the sky could be that blue frfr ...
thank u for photography lore ...

[ionic willow]

I want to swim in it

[ionic willow]

rosa rugosa (smells like damask rose, so wonderful) & some crazy-vibrant campanula on way home

gotta love hummingbirds their whole existence is just "speedrunning Being A Bird"

[regal crow]

they only know sip nectar and speed

[brittle shell]

happy for them

[ripe sonnet]

seeing a hummingbird is on my bucketlist they are so cute

perfectly designed

maybe i add squirrels to that list

speaking of cool birds though i saw some albatross this weekend!!!!!! 3 metre wing span baby. sorry the video is so terrible though youll just have to take my word for it

no flapping needed though they almost purely glide its pretty cool to watch

[twin plover]

it was in mine too i felt incredibly lucky yesterday

i thought he was a bee at first

[twin plover]

OMG i love that nyoooooom

[ripe sonnet]

oooh are they pretty rare where you are? thats lucky you saw one then!!

@ionic willow today's moodboard is ichiko aoba laying on a mossy tree branch in a clearing

[regal crow]

I want what she has

[ionic willow]

do not have words for how much I love this
shade of green/colour spectrum is perfection (bluebells also v reminiscent of spring here)
where to cop this entire moment

[brittle shell]

noticed a while ago her surname (aoba) (青葉) literally means "[blue/green] leaf)
like she was born to make soothing nature folk music.

[ionic willow]

while the concept of nominative determinism somewhat haunts me in other contexts, I completely completely LOVE this
bluegreen reminds me of the silveriness of mugwort too…have a Vision here lots to think abt…ty for this gift

[brittle shell]

i was going to add (but figured you would be bored because it's all arbitrary squiggles to you) the second character in aoba for "leaf" is the same as in 艾葉 mugwort leaf by yu su .. . all coming together.

and was thinking to myself ;; nominative determinism has been debunked BUT ichiko aoba can have it i guess 😌

[river crescent]

this is majestic

[obtuse birch]

ya'll are sending such stunning pics of the outdoors ty for sharing 🤧 i haven't been able to touch grass due to the worst allergies rn oml

i live thru these pics sent here 💚

why do my nostrils hate nature so much

anyone else sneezing up a storm?

[brittle shell]

keeping up the theme here is ichiko aoba holding a giant leaf

[obtuse birch]

woah

that leaf is huge

I wanna see the tree that came from

[ionic willow]

taken for the Reference but sadly did not quite capture the colour irl

[brittle shell]

i support it ... pls post more mugwort

[ripe sonnet]

woah how small is that person

[brittle shell]

idk her height but it's both 1. she is small and 2. it's a big leaf

[brittle shell]

more ichiko aoba spam because she Is nature

[severe galleon]

That’s sooo beautiful. I can hear the waves 🌊 👂

[maiden sequoia]

Bun!

It is so smol

[ionic willow]

mugwort once again not showing up in its glorious silvery green hues but use your imaginations

collection of interesting columbines

Got a nice bouquet today, wondering what this one is called cause it reminds me of a lion 🦁

I work with a wildlife conservation trust so thought i’d share : )

[ionic willow]

!!!! I love thank u for these

[fleet trail]

have you ever been to the Colinton tunnel?

I feel like it would be a very Han place to go to

[ionic willow]

I have not but it’s not SO out of my way thank you for the recommendation!! I might have to do it

[fleet trail]

Oh I think you'll really like it! We went when we visited Edi last year

I don't know why I haven't mentioned it before, but yes check it out

[karmic prawn]

I will live under here

Like a lil troll

[worn widget]

This is where my friends and I used to camp out at - It's literally like half a mile from the town I grew up in.

[rigid pulsar]

prettyy horseyyy

[ionic willow]

Vayy’s beautiful pic in #🎵・the₊opera reminded me that I took this (nothing special just. green )but also this video that happens to have bagpipes in (very funny in that it is so stereotypical)
need damp rainy vibes with this tho…

[brittle shell]

ooo more trees and aesthetic overcast skies pls
and post that one view of island or something you said

[ionic willow]

Let me see if I can see the island it in any of my photos! If not then maybe will have to take my camera with me so can zoom a bit more (not an issue am there often but don’t expect master photography)

[brittle shell]

meanwhile have this photo of flowers everyone

is this anything. idk took it while stumbling home from work

[ionic willow]

Yes ahhhhhh

Wait I’m going to zoom in is that weird I want to see what they are

Yarrow, broom, I can’t tell if the purple blooms are some kind of scabious or an ornamental allium variety

[maiden sequoia]

I had assumed allium

but they could very well be something different

The stem + leaf structure is pretty distinctive tho

[ionic willow]

Having the issue where all the pics I take are close to the ground/plants/mushrooms but have cobbled together a vague collection of trees and (semi) overcast skies…sadly they are not the greenblue vibe…I have some from the other island I’m going to visit soon but will take more when next there so 😶‍🌫️hushing for now

you can kiiiind of see the island I meant in the sunrise pic here

These are not very Fable but we move

[brittle shell]

not weird it's not my garden and i am interested in what these flowers are since i don't know much flower lore

o you came thru

[maiden sequoia]

Oooh that tunnel

I want to run through it super fast and pretend I'm in my neighbor totoro or a fairytale

[brittle shell]

these forest pics are a vibe even if they're sunny also the mysterious island with the sunrise is quite nice

[brittle shell]

rt
i thought of zelda and the kokiri village seems like something from around there

[ionic willow]

I must have more foggy ones somewhere, it’s not like we have a dearth of cloudy weather…might be that I went thru what my phone recently tagged as ‘outside’ & maybe stuff got filtered out. I’ll be back…must do better….

Looks like two kinds of ornamental allium now I look, based

[fleet trail]

I keep forgetting you’re not Scottish Han and you have an English accent 😆

the boat marina one with the reflections is rlly cool

[twin plover]

roses time

[uneven rover]

fungi finds

[severe galleon]

I would love to have a garden like that just full of wildflowers and kinda natural looking. I dont like how manicured gardens and landscaping is here in average america

[uneven rover]

one thing about america that really confuses me is the dedication to having a really unnaturally green short cut lawn it looks ugly n you’d be better off getting fake grass at that point

[severe galleon]

Ughh i totally agree. Its so unhealthy i feel like for all the critters. And like I’m that neighbor that leaves my lawn looking unkempt. My neighbors all have their stuff mowed and their lawns get dry patches etc i leave mine lusciously full and wild. But i fall to the silent scrutiny and mow it occasionally. Yesterday i did that and the backyard looked like a beautiful field of tall grass with the stems that eventually look like a field of grain or something, if you leave it alone long enough. Its so beautiful watching the wind blow through. So annoying that like if i dont mow its like considered bad and concerning

[uneven rover]

absolutely! i’ve so far cut the grass once this year there’s this thing called ‘no mow may’ where you don’t mow the lawn for the entire month bc a lot of insects like bees and butterflies have limited source of food & nutrition while everything’s still growing in so by leaving everything it can make sure they’ve got something until more flowers bloom in the summer

[regal crow]

that's such a nice idea

[brittle shell]

@thorn anvil 23:30, 02:30, 03:20

[thorn anvil]

That is MENTAL

So it's just perpetual twilight???

[ionic willow]

yes! further north is even worse. we are close to the solstice so it’s more pronounced rn

[thorn anvil]

Perpetual Twilight is a banger band name btw

[ionic willow]

They call areas of Sweden ‘land of the midnight sun’ because of this

[thorn anvil]

Ooooh

[lusty obsidian]

@frail copper, you have just reached level 4!!! congratz

[thorn anvil]

That'd be a tad annoying when you're trying to sleep lol

But that's so pretty

[ionic willow]

In winter you have perpetual darkness to offset so yeah
Good horror trope in fact I think there are some? Based on this

[ionic willow]

Finding out this is Norway but they called it that when I was there so sticking to my guns lol

[thorn anvil]

Going on a night walk all day sounds so peaceful I need that

[small elm]

some photos i’ve taken recently

[regal crow]

omgg these are all stunning, the last 2 are so vibesyy reminds me of like lily chou chou... or something

[small elm]

thank you so much

[severe galleon]

I always tell my coworkers about leaving the leaves and such for this reason! But i didnt know there is an official month thing like no shave november haha. That’s really awesome!

[uneven rover]

to be fair I only learnt about it this year ! I do volunteering with a wildlife conservation which is where I heard about it

[lusty obsidian]

@uneven rover, you have just reached level 7!!! congratz

[severe galleon]

I was just going to say i lived in Norway for a couple months and experienced this! It was so strange having it never quite get too dark. Some of my friends from Tromsø have true midnight sun 🌞 and i always wanted to visit to experience the spectacle!

[severe galleon]

Thank you for telling me! So cool you do conservation stuff too :3

[uneven rover]

course !!! and thank you : D it’s truly a dream to do it haha

[ionic willow]

[uneven rover]

[ionic willow]

Canada u are so pretty

The ferns ahhhhh

[small elm]

may be a stupid question but what are they?

[uneven rover]

from earlier this year in Avebury, Stone Circles & wishing tree

the stone circles are older than Stone Henge, which is not far from there , Neolithic regardless

[small elm]

I really love how humans find such worth in nature, it's so beautiful imo

[uneven rover]

the stones are frequently used for pagan rituals & it’s believed the stones can grant things like good luck / good fortune if you leave offerings for them ( or even just hug them ) , im not so sure abt the tree but there’s Hundreds of ribbons, string, flowers, pictures & all kinds of offerings it’s rly pretty

[small elm]

that is really interesting and I can only imagine how many stories are tied with that tree

[small elm]

helloo from the middle of no where :)

[obtuse birch]

absolutely stunning photos wowwwww

[small elm]

thank youuu :3

[obtuse birch]

[ionic willow]

I’m laughing so hard (but also ) - cheated on my run/stopped a few times to get pics bc there was a fox cub (!! So tiny!) & an interesting maritime scene (I got lost again on the route I have done probably >50 times) & a nice river with bats …the pics are SO TERRIBLE though hahaha I didn’t realise til I got home

will try and…come to a full stop before taking photos next time…

[small elm]

omg they’re beautiful

I love photos that are “messy”

esp at night

[ionic willow]

this is very kind coming from u haha (whose photos are wonderful)

[small elm]

😭😭 I have those kind of photos too. and I love them and show them off as well! I think a lot of photography to most ppl is the quality but tbh, it’s what thought / experience that place or thing you are photographing has to you.

like these :)

they remind me of the ones you took

not the best quality but the same amount of beauty

[brittle shell]

impressionist painting

[ionic willow]

I love these so much they remind me of Japanese woodblock paintings

[small elm]

that’s such a compliment… woodblocks are absolutely stunning

tysm

and i’m sure the fox cub was so cute

[ionic willow]

These kind of images specifically (there are more I can’t find rn but you get the gist)

[small elm]

Sorry they just be beautiful 🥹

[twin plover]

[limpid heron]

moments before disaster... it started raining HEAVILY and i had to walk home for 1km

[lusty obsidian]

@limpid heron, you have just reached level 7!!! congratz

[severe galleon]

That is too cool! Ive always wanted to forage and make stuff like cordial but it feels so inaccessible to me. Do you follow a book or is something passed down that you learned :>?

[uneven rover]

it’s something I already knew but I have a foraging book that has the same recipe I follow!

It’s honestly really straight forward

[severe galleon]

That so cool to know something like that! Ooo do you recommend it?? I’d love to learn myself

Here is my solstice sunset photo to go along with the others ☀️

[uneven rover]

100% !! I can always send over the recipe I have if you need it

[severe galleon]

I would love that! And if you recommend the book that has your identical learned recipe id maybe check that out too

[uneven rover]

the book I have is Food for Free by Richard Mabey ( i’m from the UK to specify! ) but i’m sure if you’re from elsewhere you could find foraging books better suited for where you live !

[steep helm]

So pretty!! I don’t have white roses het I have one bush that gives light pink sometimes it’s bright sometimes it looks white

I love garden roses so Much

[obtuse birch]

sooOo pretty and vibrant

[obtuse birch]

[small elm]

omggg

those are the best cherries ive seen in a long time

[obtuse birch]

yOooO that makes me happy 💖

we're hype about them too

can't wait to make pieeees

does any1 know what else I can do with cherries lmaoaoa

[small elm]

this may sound weird

but like

cherry jam

or marmalade

or like drinks w it

can put them in salads, and anything w chocolate n cherries is soo good

[obtuse birch]

OHHHH YUS

I've never tried cherries in salad befo but I shuld try

[small elm]

like theres this thingy called black forest i think its like mousse w cherries

[obtuse birch]

CHOCOLAT CHERRIES MMM

[small elm]

its rly good gives it like sweet balance to it

[obtuse birch]

omgg

🤤

[small elm]

IKKK

also like a sauce for meat as well

[obtuse birch]

TRUUUU

[small elm]

may be a bit harder to make tho

and depends on the meat

[obtuse birch]

I like harvest but don't know too much abt cooking but maybe me and my mom can work 2gether x'D

[small elm]

yesss! she can teach u some things for sure! overall, a lot of fruits are good with anything savory and salty. it can be used to enhance flavors or balance them out w their sweetness

but for sure cherries and chocolate are so good

esp chocolate covered cherries

[obtuse birch]

tysm for ur advice

[lusty obsidian]

@obtuse birch, you have just reached level 15!!! congratz

[small elm]

yess offccc and if u make anything w them i'd love to see them so u can ping me wherever u post if u do!!

[obtuse birch]

I soooo wanna try making the black forest thing u mentioned

also Rosa rugosa (smells excellent) attracting pollinators

used to have a book that told me all the diff cloud shape names…knowledge lost to time..

[dense axle]

for some reason the last pics kind of make me feel like I'm there too such a stunning view

[ionic willow]

if only! would make the lab more fun haha

[lean nebula]

I had that too on my “the earth” mini book 😭 great reminder cuz it made me go to Wikipedia and review https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cloud_types

Good times

[ionic willow]

Bless up I’m going to take notes…I need this info back in my life

I love that you had one too!!

[lean nebula]

It’s so cute and gives sort of useful hints about the weather too!

Loved that book it was a miniature book but had so much info, and also a mini cd

[obtuse birch]

very lowkey and friendly

[small elm]

usually the water here is dried up or over flowed lol

[ionic willow]

Did you take this? Aaah it’s wonderful. How did you process it?

[small elm]

yes I did :) I usually take photos from horrible angles but in the moment. any nature to me is beautiful and after I get home from walks / taking them I just imagine what vibes they give. I usually edit them very slightly, not trying to take away from the natural beauty but kind of what I see in the vibes, if that makes sense

so I mess w the exposure / contrast and colors to enhance it how i saw it in the moment

[regal crow]

omg stunning

[obtuse birch]

THAT PHOTOOO

so aesthetic

[small elm]

thank youu :3

[brittle shell]

quite a lot like the concept of aoi/qing from east asian cultures (colour that once meant all shades of blue/green especially nature colours but today is somewhat lost because they have separate words for green and blue today)

[regal crow]

true!!

[karmic prawn]

I want it to be this season always

I never even knew this place existed like an hour or two away from where I grew up. I have mixed feelings, half like I missed out and half excited to find new spots

[ionic willow]

strange gloomy morning/distractible & not medicated/nature was kinder to me than I deserved/here follows a visual diary of some things I saw

• sunrise reflecting on sand
• seal (realise this video looks like fucking Nessie but please believe me, this is not a log it is a marine animal) (never seen them here before)
• saw eight! perhaps nine jellies today. even more exciting, saw a new species today, the enormous lion’s mane
• two! four-leaf clovers… saw my first ever only in April & it remains a surprise every time..something about this beach maybe (these remind me of @brittle shell)

things that will interest only me, probably

• wild gooseberries (should check my allotment, I am growing these too) (sorry idk why this is a video it just has me talking about gooseberries - muted lmao)
• second bindweed of the year…unusual pink colour, I am still looking for the rare deep blue kind
• fertile ferns (these have ‘sori’ on the bottom which produce spores) (fern reproduction is interesting)
• some interesting rose species (so many different kinds in flower right now)
• raspberry so early that it is almost upsetting (most brambles are not even flowering yet)
• very vascular or texturally interesting plants which visually amused me
• garlic so large it needed a trellis (hand for scale)
• feverfew which is one candidate in my ‘this could be athelas irl’ headcanon
• bee on a dahlia
• affirmation idk

cont’d (vascular) (also bonus goth plant)

okay done. sorry for the spam & the mid pics. it may happen again.

oh the affirmation I nearly forgot

love to be like him. someday

[ripe sonnet]

no sorry for spam !!! you bring beauty into our days for free we are grateful !!!! the veiny purple flower is soo intricate, my fav detail from this post though i think is your knitted sleeve reaching out to the underside of that fern

[ionic willow]

thank u…I am glad u enjoyed

[ripe sonnet]

idk if its true globally but it could be (seals are def on the rise in nz) --- generally seal numbers are on the rise bc we dont do the seal fur and meat trade any more? idk cool though!! and jellies aaah

[ionic willow]

!! I had no idea about the seals but that’s rly cool to hear

[ripe sonnet]

more nessie moments if youre lucky

[thorn anvil]

Saw it yesterday evening

[ionic willow]

i can only dream
I hear there are otters near work too but no luck so far…maybe one day

[ripe sonnet]

woa what is this little guy

a hover fly ?

[thorn anvil]

I don't know, I've never seen an insect like this b4

[ripe sonnet]

its perfect

[limpid heron]

went on a hike to an old castle yesterday

[steep helm]

This moth was on the floor

It’s waving for the pic

[uneven rover]

some wild mallows growing on the side of the driveway outside my house

[uneven rover]

I adore moths v much.

[small elm]

your images / in depth descriptions of all of them is just a charming feature of your personality. these images are so beautiful as well 😭

[small elm]

the 2nd image reminds me of world princess II music video

its so pretty

[small elm]

THIS COLORRR

[ionic willow]

oh thank u that is very kind of u to say

[limpid heron]

omg yes! there's like dozens of these old stone castles here and i just realized too that they could be from that mv

[small elm]

wow... I would kill to just chill in an abandoned castle

just play world princess II and pretend ur C

would be so fun

[limpid heron]

hahah yess
im so confused tho, all these castles are located at the top of hills - like how did they get those big stones up there when they were building those?😭

[small elm]

people used to be so into architecture they wouldn't care. that was the beauty of old buildings imo. it was sucha divine art

[limpid heron]

i'd be scared doe

[small elm]

and its a shame to see such beautiful buildings waste away. but ngl, as a fan of abandoned/ urban places, this would be a dream

[small elm]

tbh Id go in and have to start putting light on right away or same. a mouse would make me jump lmfao

[limpid heron]

yeah i've never thought that way, so beautiful now that i think about it and makes me appreciate those more

[small elm]

yess. ireland has so much of this. so does everywhere but it seems the UK has a lot (obv). in the US where I live, we have the huge malls and small ghost towns. even though the buildings may not be as pretty, there is so much history

[limpid heron]

oo spooky i love that i was researching china too a while ago and i read that because people are moving to big cities, they are leaving the historic small towns to 'worthless', kinda sad but in europe pretty much all old things are cherished

[small elm]

yes! this is happening a lot now. here in US it tends to be that or people are so poor they cant even afford to live in even the smaller towns and leave. a lot of them here, its weird. it is forgotton and seen as worthless, but, it is still owned by someone.

[limpid heron]

yeah when i retire i wanna live in a small town and take care of it

[small elm]

meee. either that or just live in the middle of no where with a lil farm

[limpid heron]

a vibe!!

[small elm]

I remember I always wanted to live in Antartica and then grew up to find the depressing truth: you cannot

greenland tho..

[limpid heron]

go for it!! im thinking it might be different to live in the future tho cuz of climate change

[small elm]

yeahh there is some worry about that as well as government. but rn I am thinking greenland, switzerland, Kyoto Japan

[thorn anvil]

Did a picture yesterday afternoon ♡

And found it btfl

[small elm]

or if somehow here in the US gets better, Arizona

[small elm]

I love this vibeeee green castle concrete yes

[limpid heron]

in which state do u live rn if that's not creepy?

[small elm]

LOl that's okay, I live in VA

[thorn anvil]

✨️😊

[small elm]

I do like where I live as itss a mix of town, city but keeping the trees and nature. but I don't like cities so I want to move ahh

[limpid heron]

what's va😭 i dont know these short terms sorry

[small elm]

Virginia

[limpid heron]

ohh thanks omg im so dumb

[small elm]

LMAo nonono dont worry

I didnt know either for a while

[limpid heron]

i was thinking if it's texas or florida then it's pretty bad to live in, looking at the news

dunno that much about virginia

[small elm]

would not want to live in either

[small elm]

right next to DC

so thats also eh

I hate living close to DC sometimes 😭

[limpid heron]

whyy

[small elm]

the capital has a lot of risks living near it imo

also

traffic, cities all around

not my thing
