also now have a gold panning permit and actually tried it - shocker, did not find any 😂 but quite beautiful and lots of other interesting finds

A shallow freshwater stream with lots of rocks in it and rocky banks - lined on both sides with deciduous leafy trees and a hazy cloudy blue sky above

Yes! Recently had the fun experience of looking for smoky quartz in the White Mountains (USFS permit/location info: www.fs.usda.gov/r09/whitemou... )

foggy rainy afternoon, no blizzard here, alas

A view up grey river from the gorge edge, under a grey sky, fog apparent in the distance upriver. Brown dead leaves on some of the trees in the foreground and across the river. A light snowfall is dusting on top of crunchy old snowy ice from a few weeks ago.

how your email finds me (until everything starts up again tmw...)

My glove-clad arm holds a cross country ski pole and the tips of two skis are in the foreground, with a snowy flat trail between trees ahead

took a long walk in the woods. saw a red tail take a squirrel.

The edge of a dirt cliff over a river. There's a log on the ground and some scraggly trees. Colorful leaves on the ground and on the trees across the river. There's blue sky dotted with clouds and they are both reflected in the greenish river. This is a view from Seneca Park looking north up the Genesee River

the sidewalk has questions for passerby

A white paper flyer with black text that reads in all caps 'HAVE YOU FOUND YOUR PEOPLE YET?' on a concrete sidewalk

sigh. (seen in a kid toy section of store)

Picture of a pictionary game box that says pictionary VS AI in big letters at the top. On the box it has phrases like "can you predict if the AI will get it right?" And "human sketches, AI guesses!"

a beautiful if alarmingly warm fall day in #ROC

Landscape photo of an urban park. Paved sidewalk in foreground, shallow pond in center, ringed in mixed trees and lawn and blue skies with a few clouds. This is Seneca Park.

encountered this and think maybe need one of these! art belongs everywhere! - but worried may scare neighborhood dogs walking by..

Raised bed garden in the middle of a grassy lawn on a college campus. Most of the raised bed is taken up by a large statue that looks like a clay man emerging out of the ground, visible from torso up. They have no eyes or hair on the head. Some climbing plants, maybe cucumbers, grow up and around the figure

@sarahmackattack.bsky.social 🙌 getting ready to share at a community tabling event later this month. THANK YOU for your generosity and creativity to put this out in the world.

sometimes feels like living at the edge of Narnia ...

Wet muddy railbed turned trail lined in spring ephemerals and leafed out deciduous trees. All the plants POP as green with the grey sky

it feels silly and small in the midst *arms waving* but am proud - and moreover grateful to and for so many people that made this possible 😭

Handwritten notes in child handwriting in marker with lots of smiley faces and words like "congratulations on tenure!" And "good job!"

entering the week like this gourd still kicking around from Oct 😵‍💫

A small orange gourd on a wooden table with blue marker that has colored two eyes and a squiggly mouth. The emotional vibe of the expression is skeptical, unmoored, queasy, etc.

here's how they chose to title and illustrate for print... 🤦

Screenshot of one page of the New York times magazine that features the 'letter of recommendation' essay about signing discussed up thread. It is titled "ASL" and the picture accompanying is a photo of a blurry handshape of probably someone signing help. The photo does not show a face or body, only the blurry hands (which for nonsigners, means the photo is not showing all the elements of language in ASL, which includes facial expressions, positions, direction, etc.)

Two cardboard boxes on a woven tan and green rug. The boxes are full of paper envelopes and small plastic bags, full of a variety of vegetable seeds and each labeled in sharpie

the yellows out there this week are excellent

A POP of bright yellow leaves on a maple tree, with other yellow leafed trees in the background. Sky behind them is blue, view is looking up into the canopy from the ground.

Tips of cross country skis visible with lots of walking and dog tracks in wet snow in a forest path along a river gorge
