Snow on bent branches

the forest forgets its name

in white whispering.

The Space Between Roots The birches outside my window have been my quiet companions for many years.

Dear Wind,
Thank you for carrying our stories farther than we can walk. 🍃https://open.substack.com/pub/kimberlympost/p/the-space-between-roots

Snow speaks all day long

white rhetoric of wonder

silences meaning.

waiting to begin.

Scientists "quite surprised" to find one polar bear population thriving: "A fat bear is a healthy bear" After decades monitoring polar bears in Norway's far north, researchers say the animals have proven incredibly adaptable, but there are no guarantees for the future.

What’s precious within

A Bell, a Breath, a Raven from A Year in the Life of a Meadow Walker

I’ve been writing into the tension of this moment: human rights violated, communities splintered, the Earth bearing so much of our forgetting. This is my attempt to listen for the fragile threads of belonging that remain... and to honor how love persists 🙏🏻🪶

Photograph from 1911 taken by Herbert Ponting whilst with Scott's Antarctic Expedition The monochrome photo is taken from within a cave. The walls of the cave are made of ice. The cave entrance is in the mid distance with two figures standing looking out towards a distant ship. Between them and the ship there is first a 'beach' of ice before the sea itself. The ship could be up to 800 metres away What makes the photo so special is that where the figures are at the cave entrance there is a band of very white snow and ice (contrasting with the comparatively dark inside of the cave) that creates a stark framework in which the men and the ship are captured. It is made even more dramatic by the fact that the cave entrance is at least 30 metres high and is in the shape of a distorted elipse with the tail sloping off to the right at the top of the elipse The photo being in monochrome in a largely white environment makes the photographers skill all the more laudable

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition,

The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance
