Weird (the good kind!) reclusive old lady who dabbles in art, cooking, and mocking Nazis. Fond of birds and gardens. Proud of my state of Minnesota. She/her. Please don’t post AI slop into my timeline. I will unfollow. Re-enchantment is resistance.

The tree sitting down? Yeah, that’s me.

Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy but isn’t a selfie, if you’d like.
A tree sits on a rock, while two other trees stand by in silent judgement of such sloth.

Goodnight Hookland, my mental image of the Brass-Eyed Man has him with brass upholstery tacks for eyes and it’s creeping me out. Sleep well.

Saw two Bald Eagles on the drive up to my favorite park this morning, and one on the way back.😍 Heard, but did not see a Belted Kingfisher at the park.

Halloween costumes for birders. This is from last year and someone actually did the sexy owl pellet one.
A comic called halloween costume ideas for birders. In panel 1, labeled easy, there's a person labeled northern cardinal wearing a party hat, a beak, and red clothes, and a person labeled roseate spoonbill wearing pink clothes and a wooden spoon on their nose. In panel 2, labeled harder, there's a person labeled merlin sound ID wearing a big green circle with a microphone modeled after the button on the merlin sound ID app, and a person labeled hybrid green x blue jay wearing a complex costume with a mask and robe and hat modeled after a recently discovered hybrid bird. In panel 3, labeled challenging, there's a person labeled baltimore oriole nest wearing an enormous accurate woven oriole nest suspended from their arms and shoulders, and a person labeled african jacana carrying chicks with a hideous costume of long-toed bird feet hanging from their armpits. In panel 4, labeled hot, there's a person labeled high quality spotting scope who is shirtless and is wearing a spotting scope mask on their head, and a person labeled sexy owl pellet wearing an owl pellet top and bottom with a mouse skull on their head.

Goodnight from Maud Simms, unnerved that the old rosary she picked up in the churchyard has started whispering Vespers prayers at sunset. Goodnight Hookland, wishing you an evening of ease.

The Death of Mountains by Jordan Kurella. It’s a beautiful, poetic book about the damage mankind does to our world, an allegory of ecological and grief fiction from multiple points of view, including that of a mountain due to die.

Books are ghost magnets. This means every good library has it phantoms. A density of Dewey Decimal Classification is spirits what a saucer of beer is to slugs. Of course we understand ghosts desire to haunt libraries. Thousands of books and the time to read them is a heaven. – #CJosiffe #Ghosts

A rather spring-themed bone horse. I must do a proper autumn one! #Mari #BoneHorse
A horse skull, bedecked with flowers, pink and blue ribbons, and bells, grins beneath a sky full of silver stars and a full moon.  Her red glass eye glints merrily.

Some recent hens. They do look good together like this. 🐔 Friendly reminder that I have a Ko-fi by way of a tip jar, if you enjoy my work and would like to send a little material support. Thank you so much to everyone who contributes. ☺️🥲🙏💙 Link also in profile. ko-fi.com/himmapaan
Four small silhouette drawings in black ink, each about the size of a business card, of a hen encountering another small animal in each one: a dragonfly, a frog, a wren, and a squirrel.

At first glance, it may look like just a tangle of loose lines. But hidden inside is the soul of a little cat. Sometimes, the simpler the lines, the more they reveal its truest self. #shouxinsketch #petart #animalart #illustrationartists #pet #sketch #sketchdaily

A raft of coots and a quintet of Trumpeter swans on Lake George today.
A flock of about 100 coots (small dark duck-like birds with white bills) on the lake.A mix of five adult and juvenile Trumpeter swans.  The juvenile is gray in contrast to the adults’ white plumage.

I’m only a dabbler in the art of pottery, but my fingers twitched at the idea of using that red clay to make something beautiful and haunted.
