They have no gods. They work magic, and think they are gods themselves. But they are not. And when they die, they become dust and bone, and their ghosts whine on the wind a little while till the wind blows them away. They do not have immortal souls.

"Look at the four White-tailed Deer frolicking in the ocean" are words not often uttered, I'll wager. But I uttered them on this particular morning. :) St. Andrews, #NewBrunswick, Canada June 2026 📷 #mammals #deer #marinelife #nature #wildlife #photography #Nikon #Z9 #Nikkor800pf

Four light brown deer are frolicking in a shallow pool of water amongst the seaweed-covered rocks of the intertidal zone at low tide. More seaweed-covered rocks are in the foreground and the calm ocean water is behind the deer.

the lessons we need to take are clear. Dolly said "find out who you are and do it on purpose", and Tim Curry's line is "don't dream it, be it" they would both be disappointed if we wrote that off as corny. so what? it's necessary. we have everything to lose if we are dishonest to ourselves.

'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

An embroidery hoop containing a sewn landscape from above. It shows a forest on the right, a line of fire and charred ground with smoke on the left. The smoke is felted wool.

Rediscovered this photo from a forest stroll back in January and forgot to share it! For the fungi fans. 🍄✨ #photography #Ireland #Mycology #Fungi #NaturePhotography

A low-angle vertical photograph looking up a moss-covered tree trunk adorned with a striking, staircase-like growth of warm, terracotta-orange bracket fungi. The fungi fan outwards in layered tiers along the dark bark, leading the eye upwards towards the forest canopy. In the background, slender, bare winter trees blur softly beneath a pale, cool-toned sky, creating an atmospheric, tranquil woodland feel.

So excited and grateful to share that my poem from Eye to the Telescope’s Plants issue is nominated for an Aurora Award! Wela’lioq to all for your kind consideration 💙🌸

The poem flowers without meadow screenshot against a blue green and white Aurora Borealis in a starry sky. The text of the poem is as follows:

in the galactic dark of blooming
the halo of old constellations
stains the hollow
shells of blossoms
spilling open
into gold-dosed light

seeds become stars
like the wasp devoured
in the beauty of the fig

Trying to write books for everyone seems to me a surefire way of writing bad books. I’m not interested in writing books for twats. I write books for the cool and nice people whose company I know I’d enjoy if I met them in real life. I’m entirely comfortable with twats hating my books. Bring it on.
