A close up image of a black vinyl record. The inner label is fuscia with yellow accent. Text reads “Solid Rock” The Temptations, with reflected light bringing a sense of depth and warmth.

What’s your favorite Temptations record? Peak groove and vibe here in the Whitfield era, I find myself prob returning to this one most. 🪨🪨🪨

A prime specimen from the hike today #mycology #mushroom #northshore

On the edge of the trail, sunlight shines through glowing yellow petals of a cluster of flowers. Blue skies, and green foliage surrounds, with trees visible in the distance.

A unique orange lily bloom, surrounded by thin green stem and supporting foliage. Blue sky, green trees, and purple bergamot flowers are visible in the background.

Took a lovely morning hike through Eloise Butler Bird Sanctuary today. It’s always a joy to move through the landscape, connect, and discover surprises around every corner 🌼

Morning light and tangled signal paths.
The studio hums quietly to life, new work is slowly forming.

Featuring incredible new vibes from @goldenbrownmusic.bsky.social @eiderdownrecords.bsky.social @auralcanyon.bsky.social @archaicmeditations.bsky.social @leavingrecords.bsky.social @lownoon.bsky.social and lots more!

A shady forest trail lined with lush green foliage leads toward a small arched shelter made of woven sticks and branches. The canopy above filters soft light, casting a cool, calming atmosphere on the earthy path.

🌿 Shade, shelter, and sound.
My latest playlist 'The Heat is On' is a cool breeze, w/ ambient textures, dreamy field recordings, and immersive drift to ease the heat, soften the day, and spark lucid daydreams.
