Mature boobtopus #mutandMaids #MerMay
a square format cartoon of an octopus-like creature looking directly at the viewer, but instead of tentacles it has breasts - in this image the breasts are more elongated than in the previous one and moving around a bit more. titled "mature boobtopus"

For Mermay, behold the boobtopus! Here a rather young specimen. (I'll be posting a bunch of MerMay related images in the coming weeks, a lot of them will contain nude breasts, if you don't want to see them I recommend you mute my #MutantMaids tag.) #MerMay #MutandMaids #nudity #breasts

very early spring tapestries made of wild plum blossoms and overcast skyes #bloomscrolling #photography
closeup of a twig of wild plum blossoms. They are white, have five petals each, a little pink accent towards the middle and yellow dots at the ends of their stigmas and stamens. The photo was taken on an overcast day, and the white of the petals merges with the white of the sky showing through in the out of focus backgrounda similar view as the last image, but zoomed out a bit more, showing more of the blossoms at once, and increasing the slightly disorienting effect of how the foreground and background merge

the ornamental quince maybe two weeks ago, before the sun came out #bloomscrolling #photography #pink
a closeup of a part of an ornamental quince bush in early bloom, showing an image cris-crossed by dark grey-brown twigs, a few still small green leaves, and dotted by the very pink blossoms and budsa similar view as before, but this one focusing more on one particular blossom, and how it plays off against the pink dots of other out of focus blossoms in the backgrounda twig with pink blossoms opening in two directions seen in profile, one opening towards the upper left side of the image and two opening towards the lower right, against a pattern made of bare grey-brown shrubbery

I swear I don't even like daffodils, they are just hardy as fuck and somehow keep sticking around. And what can I do when the light hits that one *just so* #bloomscrolling #photography #daffodils

moar moss scapes. maybe one of these days I turn them into landscape paintings, so enticing to make something concept art-y from them...
another fence post top, seen a bit more from the side, like a profile view of the moss scape  on topanother fence post top, seen more from above, with only tiny islands of green moss growing on it, but more ice crystals and dark canyons bridged by spiderwebs in the wood, also the steel worked into the middle of the fence post more visible in this oneanother fence post top with a lush and varied assortment of bright green mosses a more complete view of the fence post in the previous image

the first really cold frosty morning of this winter I discovered these marvelous moss scapes covering the tops of a bunch of fence posts just a stone's throw from my front door #moss #photography
a closeup of the edge of a broad fence post covered with a slight layer of ice crystals and a puff of bright green moss in the back. the light is overcast and even, grey-ish, the photo taken with a large aperture rendering everything other than the front edge out of focusa closeup of the top of another fence post, seen from a slightly bigger distance than the first, even more covered in green and reddish moss and a breath of ice crystals, as well as some (now iced) spiderwebs spanning dark gaps in the wooda closeup of the top of another fence post, showing the whole of the top, the left half of which shows the rugged structure of the massive wood of the post, the right half covered in green moss, with a dark chasm between them
