I'm not much of a movie watcher but from the list I found, I did enjoy this one 💜
The movie poster for the 2007 movie "Across the Universe" featuring the tagline "all you need is love" and an image of a man gently holding a woman's face inside a strawberry-shaped vignette against a starry sky.

I am Xoyos Brightslash, the starting hero for the Allayi faction in Endless Legend. Known as "The Lonely," I am the 'only survivor of a Summer birthing season that was ravaged by plague and war due to conflict with a Necrophage hive.' (Text borrowed from Endless Legend Wiki.) Oh dear. 😵‍💫
Art from the game Endless Legend depicting Xoyos Brightslash, the starting hero of the Allayi faction. He is a furry white alien-looking guy with long rabbitlike ears and weird fragmented floating wings. The top half of the image shows him looking calm in the summertime and the bottom half shows him looking unhinged and aggressive in the wintertime.

I recently found these strange flowers while walking in the woods. I learned they're known as ghost pipes and they are a parasitic, non-photosynthesizing plant that feeds off fungi. They're so cool!!

At an antique store today I found some uranium glass! Always wanted to have my own, so I bought it! I actually don't know a whole lot about it, I just think it's neat (I got it for display only hehe) 👽

I was at a garden center a few weeks ago and randomly saw this huge dragonfly sitting on a lupine flower! Felt like good luck.

Pretty little flowers in the woods! Not sure what kind they are but there were loads of them.

I got out for some precious nature time yesterday. For me this is preferable to any church. 💚 Side note, I seriously need to learn how to curb my enthusiasm when outside. I ended up doing the whole 10km loop around the lake as it was so nice, and today I am in terrible pain with an endo flare. 😭

This passage from "The Feast of All Saints" by Anne Rice is so relatable to me, as someone who went to art school and then ended up following a much more pragmatic path in order to support and provide for myself. (Highly recommend this book, incidentally!)
A picture of a passage from the novel "The Feast of All Saints" by Anne Rice. It reads:
"If you blame yourself for this," Christophe said, "you are making a dreaful mistake."
"I don't blame myself. I know the world isn't that simple, that good and evil—as you once explained to me—are not that neat. What I'm saying is that I have pursued a certain path in vain. And it's time for me to change. It is time for me to make something of myself on my own. And when I do make that voyage to France, and I will make it, I will have earned it myself as well as the means to sustain myself when I am there."

Very happy with how my witch hat came out! I started with just a plain hat and sewed on the ribbons. The pentagram started out as just a twig wreath from the craft store, and I added twine to it to create the star shape. ✨️🧙🏻‍♀️🧹🪻
A photo of an purple knit witch hat decorated with light purple ribbons, a pentagram made of wound twigs and twine, and a (plastic) sprig of lavender flowers and greenery.

I've been having fun recently getting into rock painting, now that I have some cheap acrylic paint pens at my disposal (party leftovers!). There's a local rock hunt group where people hide and search for painted rocks. Haven't hid this particular guy yet... a bit too attached still! #SSRockHunt
A photo of a painted rock, painted by myself with acrylic paint pens and coated in clear varnish. It depicts a Green Man, which is a face made out of leaves and foliage. This one is made of oak leaves and acorns.

Yes, that's the artist :) She also made a money jelly!
Text: "This is the money jelly. Seeing the money jelly, feel comfort in knowing all your financial needs will be met. You deserve abundance without burning yourself out. Receive with gratitude, peace and generosity. Enjoy your life with security and know you are allowed to have this."

My phone camera wasn't quite up to the task of capturing the incredible cloudscape that rolled across the sky just now, lasting for only a couple minutes! I will practically defenestrate myself to get pictures of cool clouds.
A photo of the sky with a beautiful cloudscape. The clouds have dark grayish tops and are glowing on the left sides and bottoms with the brightest gold hues. They contrast against glimpses of pale blue sky behind them. The horizon is visible in a narrow horizontal strip at the bottom of the picture and shows a low, tree-covered mountain on the left side, apartment buildings on the right, and power lines in front of these, all almost in dark silhouette against the sky.

Little faerie dragon I'm working on designing. These aren't the final colours, she's dressed up for pride 🏳️‍🌈

I recently rediscovered this tea that I used to drink all the time and it's so good. Tastes like a campfire smells!

(Plus this little guy too!)
A Windstone Editions figurine. The model is Peacock (original colouring) Hatching Dragon. It's a little baby dragon just hatching out of its egg. It has colours of blue, purple, and bronze, with tips of gold and turquoise, and a sky blue crystal on its forehead. It has big, curious-looking sky blue eyes. It pokes its head, front feet, and one wing out of the cracked egg, which is sitting on a pile of brown rocks.

A recent interaction reminded me I should post pics of my new-ish Windstone collection! I got all of these pieces (plus another identical sitting dragon) last autumn, in a steal of a deal off FB marketplace. A very fortunate kick-off to a collection I've wanted to start for many years. 💜
A Windstone Editions figurine. The model is Male Black Griffin. It's a sitting griffin, with bird-like front talons and cat-like back paws, and tufty ears, with black with blue and purple on his wings; he has a yellow beak and feet, and light blue eyes. He wears a gold necklace with light blue crystals on it. He has a proud countenance. A Windstone Editions figurine. The model is Peacock (original colouring) Male Dragon. He's a multi-hued sitting dragon, covered in scales with metallic shades of green, blue, purple, and bronze, all over his body, with tips of gold here and there. He has horns, a crest of spikes, scaly wings held together out from his back (not visible are the feathered backs of the wings), and sky blue eyes. He is resting his front talons on his curled up tail and wears a knowing or pleased expression (in my opinion)!A Windstone Editions figurine. This is the Peacock (original colouring) Mother Dragon. She is covered in scales in hues of blue, purple, green, and bronze, with highlights of gold and accent jewels on her forehead in light blue. She is resting in a curled up pose, lying with her head on her front leg and tail, and her wings held up from her back. She has horns that are lined with gold and sky blue eyes. Her wings have feathers on the backs of them, just visible. She looks like she's protecting something.A Windstone Editions figurine. This is the Peacock (original colouring) Small Wizard. He wears a long hooded robe of blue and purple in a gradient colour, accented with gold trim and gold embellishments. He has a long, white beard which almost reaches his feet. He has pale skin. His left arm is held up and a tiny green dragon perches on his hand; he gazes up at it with a smile. His right hand holds a staff which is missing its crystal (I have since added a marble to replace it)! He stands on a brown rocky base.

Didn't realize there was a limit of 4 images! Here's one more looking up at our campsite. That cloth/tapestry thing has become our unofficial camp flag, haha. I just like the vibe ✨️😆
A photo taken from below of a campsite on a ridge in a forest. Visible is an orange tapestry type piece of fabric with a Celtic design on it of 3 horses in a circle, strung between 2 trees. Behind that is a green tent and a gray tarp tied up between more trees.

If you see this post, post or quote-post with a tree or tree-lined path from your photos! Here is the trail on which I was biking about two weeks ago, before I flew into the woods and bruised my knee very badly. XD All good now though and it was a gorgeous ride regardless!

Dug this little creature out of my community garden plot by accident! A friend identified it as a rough-skinned newt, BC's most toxic amphibian! I've never seen one before and I am shook. It was so tiny, barely an inch long... I'm glad I saw it in time to avoid squishing it 🦎💜
