Looking up at the trees in fall is like looking at stained glass

The blue sky is barely visible through the leaves of this tree - vivid greens and orange and yellow shows instead in the sky, bisected by the branches of the tree

In case anyone needs it, to have the ‘mubble-fubbles’ (16th century) means to have a fit of despondency or low spirits, such as the end-of-summer blues.

Went for a walk on an abandoned allotment just now to find specimens for the drawing kits I’m sending out for my workshop on Saturday. Found a few other treasures (& added a few):

Late July garden floral palette. Our brains evolved to look at plants carefully every day while foraging & become more relaxed while doing so due to the presence of good snacks & medicine. This photo is for those ancient pathways that still exist among your neurons🌿🧠:

Growing older is realizing how many versions of yourself survived long enough to become you. Here’s some poems. 💙💙💙 #poetry #blueskypoets #writingcommunity #BlueSkyPoetry #SkyPoet

A poem about carrying every past version of yourself into adulthood, and realizing that growing older is less about becoming new and more about learning to live with who you’ve already been.

The People I Used to Be

I still think about
the people I used to be.

The boy who thought thirty was ancient.
The teenager who mistook loneliness
for intelligence.
The version of me
who stayed too long
because he thought love meant endurance.

They’re all still here somehow—
layered inside my voice
like old songs
playing beneath the static.

Growing older
isn’t becoming someone new.

It’s learning how to carry
everyone you’ve already been.

A poem about how memories can suddenly pull us backward in time, and how some emotional parts of ourselves never fully move on.

Time Travel

I used to think time travel
would feel impossible.

But then one day
I heard a song from high school
in a grocery store
and suddenly I was seventeen again—

heartbroken over things
I can’t even remember clearly now.

That’s the terrifying part.

Not that time moves forward.
That parts of us
never do.

A poem comparing growing older to becoming a museum filled with memories, regrets, and former versions of yourself that still linger inside you.

Nobody Warns You About This

Nobody warns you
that growing older
means becoming a museum
of former selves.

Every room holds something different:
a person you loved,
a mistake you replay at 2 a.m.,
a version of yourself
you almost miss.

And every year
you walk those halls
a little differently.

A poem about surviving difficult moments that could have changed your life forever, and learning to treat your own survival with more kindness and tenderness.

Survival Story

Sometimes I wonder
how many times
my life could have become
someone else’s tragedy.

One worse decision.
One different night.
One moment of giving up
instead of waiting five more minutes.

But here I am—
older than some versions of me
ever imagined I’d be.

And I think that deserves
a little more tenderness
than I usually give it.

The resilience of life. 🌿 Finding peace in the quiet moments. ✨ #NaturePhotography #SilentSky #NatureSky #Landscape #Photography #Nature

A serene and artistic nature photograph of a small, vibrant green tree growing from the top of a mossy, dark log jutting out of still water. The tree and the log are perfectly reflected in the mirror-like surface of the dark water. The background consists of soft, out-of-focus dark green foliage, creating a moody and peaceful atmosphere

Looking at the colour pink has been shown to induce relaxation & looking at something we find beautiful triggers dopamine release in our brains, so this is for you & your brain in case you’re anxious or sad today. The pinks of May pt1, incl Rose Pink Perpetué inspired by Victorian botanical plates🌿:

Fractal patterns occur in many places in nature:plants & tree branches,shells,feathers,river deltas... Looking at fractals puts our brains into a relaxed state-we recover from stress 60% more quickly (I teach about this in my classes) Pause to take in the details of my photo-it'll help your brain 🧠

We need to rewild 30% of the planet to restore nature & protect our wildlife, but Britain is falling behind. So I've signed this new petition calling on one of our biggest landowners - the Church of England - to rewild its land. Join me? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...

And on a lighter note, @radiodeadair.com discovered last night that Hamlet is a gamer cat, lol. (Video: Ear tipped black cat is swatting at a virtual mouse running around on a tablet. He also attacks it with his face. A cow kitty and later a calico watch, still deciding what to do.)
