Kate

She’s a real beauty!! 🤍🤍🤍

A female Anna’s hummingbird pauses at the feeder, nearly blending into the cedar tree behind her.

Autumnal floral arrangement echoing the colors of the trees in the distance, surrounded by winter squash in the same palette. Gray clouds fill the sky.

Beats doomscrolling!

Steaming mug of tea with a Día de los Muertos skull on it, next to a small orange pumpkin.

Mostly drinking grandpa style shou on the porch lately, taking in the fall colors & chatting with hummingbirds.

Two Amanita muscaria mushrooms, red tops fading into yellowish orange beneath white spots, and in the background blue spruce and red Japanese maple leaves

Black crow, black branch, orange and gold autumn leaves

I’m ready for my crowse-up, caw, caw!

A black crow sits on a black branch amid orange and yellow autumn leaves

my words are hiding.
this is worth a thousand of them, anyway, or so I’m told.
shifting season vibes for days.

Congratulations! Tea is the perfect way to celebrate 🙌🏽 🫖🥳

Have you heard Seu Jorge’s album of acoustic David Bowie covers in Portuguese? It’s another favorite.

Niiiiiice! 🙌🏽

Phat bee butt!!!!

Lovely play of light!

Thank you ☺️

Yellow ginkgo leaves with raindrops catch the evening sunlight

spent leaves
damp from a rainburst
glittering
diamonds in the sun
for a moment
before the wind
before the sunset
before a passerby
scatters the tableau
& time moves forward
once again

Lovely!

one tree bright orange surrounded by green leaved trees of the same kind

Every year this red maple goes full on autumn before the other trees even notice it’s fall. I love their enthusiasm.

Tea always tastes better outdoors!

I just finished reading this! It was hard to put down, so fun. I wanted more!

White porcelain tea cup with the Seattle space needle and the words Northwest Tea Festival printed on it. In the background are dahlias in a mason jar and cluttercore level tchotchkes.

Special anniversary edition cup from Northwest Tea Festival this year, so glad I was able to attend & see so many of my tea friends!

Tea service on a brown towel, on s glass table with a plant in front of the window

Shou pu’er on a tea scoop next to a white porcelain tea vessel. Beneath the tea towel is part of a book the word “Dublin” is visible.

Only tea service I managed during our whirlwind tour of Ireland, second to last day in Dublin.

Thanks Lauren ☺️

Curls of steam rise through menacing orange sunlight above a cup of dark tea, an Ainu carved wooden bear roars in the background. Next to the cup is a clay teapot.

The light is so strange
filtered through
wildfire haze & grief —
aggressively golden,
it curls the steam from my cup
into a parody of smoke
above hot leaf water,
while the silent ursine roar of protest
goes unheeded.

Pollen covered bee in the heart of a white flower with red on the center of the petals
