I started going to a boro sewing course, partially because I'm interested in it, and also because I wanted to do something where I'm not getting LLM AI stuff shoved in my face all the time. It's nice to do something with my hands and meet some odd people with a shared interest, but when the […]

Glad to be home again; I missed my #moss and #mushrooms. Spotted a very neat #pinecone today as well as a rather colorful shelf #fungi. Love where I live. Vegas was way too dry. Stay curious, friends. #pnw #mushtodon #mosstodon #fungiverse #awalkaday #ferns

A pinecone rests on the forest floor, giving life to a handful of tiny white mushrooms that sprout from gaps in the cone.

A shelf fungi in three colors, dark across the middle with a tan edge trimmed in white. It's growing just above the forest floor.

A tiny fern reaches out from the side of a mossy tree trunk.

Went out today for a sketchwalk for the local watercolour festival. Did not find the organizers at all but did chat with a few other folks who also couldn’t find the organizers. 😂 Still sat and painted for two hours! #urbansketching #art #watercolor #painting #sketch

An open sketchbook on a blue cushion with a pen sketch of a city scene. It’s been painted with watercolour, depicting some green trees, a few people sitting on chairs and benches, and walking down the street. There are big, dark planters on the right hand side with flowers in them and rainbow inclusive pride flags flying from several lamp posts.
