You all know by now how much I love dead flowers... well, aren't these sunflowers spectacular? Brought to me from an appreciative patient (so sweet!) Now spent, I will bring them home and put them out for the birds to dine on 🌻

Five large, luscious sunflowers who have seen better days, sitting in front of Van Gogh's Starry Night Over The Rhone. In front of their glass vase is a black fabric Halloween cat, and just off to the side is a small placard that reads: If life gives you lemons, have a gin and tonic.

My heart is absolutely breaking on this beautiful autumn day; this magnificent tree (the tallest one) is being destroyed. I have loved and appreciated this tree for over 30 years, easily being the prettiest part of our little quiet court. I collect it's fallen leaves every year and give thanks 🍁

Happy Mabon to all who celebrate! A time to give thanks for the abundance of Mother Earth. Mabon is also an excellent moment to reflect on recognizing your successes and letting go of what did not serve you during the past twelve months. Blessed be! 🌗

Happy Lughnasadh! 🌾 Mine is dark and rainy but I will still find time to get outside and touch the green things. Meanwhile, here is my tiny altar from years past, reminding me that Lughnasadh is all about the magick of creating - in my case, some Halloween art! #lammas #lughnasadh

A small silver tray at the center of a bounty of apples, cherries, peaches, peppers, and patchouli. Behind the tray is a small, dried sunflower wreath. On the tray sits a tiny glass cauldron with a red candle in it, yellow and orange candles standing, an old pumpkin stem that has nicely dried and looks like a miniature tree stump, a slender paintbrush, and an itsy bitsy broom.

Our bunny visitor has chosen a nursery, turns out she will be a Momma soon! We call her Keena; a Gaelic name meaning brave and wise. Brave to be up on the deck with people, and perhaps wise in thinking her babies will be safer from other predators. (I'm worried about babies making that jump down!)

I have a thing for dead flowers. Their creamy hues and fragile paper-like petals are so beautiful! I keep my garden up long after it's died for the birds to feast on its seeds, and end up taking as many photos as when it was in full bloom. 📸 Untouched (me) 🎨 background digitally painted 2026

As dark as it became, the night sky still held onto its deep blues which really made the installations pop. The forest path (below, r) was dotted with octahedrons lighting the way - would be a fab entrance to a faery revelry!
