winter sunsets have this peaceful magic in them i can't find anywhere else.

a few months back we went to a nice place called Laguna de Aculeo, and in the middle of it there's a small island with an old castle on top

Cityscape at sunrise with tall apartment buildings in the foreground and a soft pink-and-purple sky above, clouds tinted by the rising sun. A mountain rises faintly in the background. Photo taken at Santiago, Chile.

i don't mind being awake all night if these are the sunrises i get to see ✨

tall house with steep gray roofs and small balconies among trees under a clear sky in Valdivia, Chile

the old houses in Valdivia make me feel like im in a different country 🏡

tree samples and sheep 🐑

another uncropped pic i really like ✨

Chilean bellflower, aka copihue!

*national anthem muffled in the distance*

amanitas are really EVERYWHERE in Valdivia. i like this pic, you can see its gills clear as day 🍄

it got a lil late to go to get to the penguin island but! we got to walk this gorgeous path with the craziest weather ☁️

also thanks to the new friends i have over here, you are a ray of sunshine! seeing so many pretty pics and art really makes my day and inspires me to try my best ₍⁠₍⁠ ⁠◝⁠(⁠　ﾟ⁠∀⁠ ﾟ⁠ ⁠)⁠◟⁠ ⁠⁾⁠⁾

my city is filled with little landmarks and pieces of the past.
what do you mean Darwin himself walked here once? so exciting ✨

this is Caupolicán, a Mapuche leader that fought against the Spanish way back then. proud of my culture 💛

mi corazón se siente muy desprotegido cuando miro al horizonte y no veo la cordillera (⁠｡⁠•́⁠︿⁠•̀⁠｡⁠)

i rarely post full-sized pictures, but i really like this one.
downtown is a place i’ve learned to love again. i’m happy to be here!

took this one on the way home from the arcades~✨

im going to miss the view from my old leased-livable fridge (didn’t get any sun year-round, it sucked!)

pic of my mama

we have a running joke among my friends about my mom being a microwave.

oh, to be this lil buddy taking a nap by the riverside~

my city and its beautiful hidden places 💛✨

i really want to draw these!

this year im moving, and it's finally not because im hurting from memories.

lovely pink lagerstroemia 🩷✨

this flower's smell reminds me of my grandma's garden ✨
soon it'll be spring and pretty colors will fill the city, im so happy 😊

had the nicest cup of lungo and the most delicious carrot cake at this coffee place ✨

growing up, in my older relatives’ houses, there were always these decorations.
i thought of them as houses for gnomes, or the tooth fairy, or the ghost in the kitchen drawer.
saw this one the other day, it gave me a fuzzy cozy feeling ✨

when someone asks me for my favorite color, i show this picture.
dusty pink all the way ✨

did a couple of greeting cards last christmas, literally took no pictures of the rest because i was in a hurry 🫠
