This is mostly a photography and art account for me. I'm just a queer little dirt witch who makes art, howls at the moon, and eats the sun one strawberry at a time

Autumn Glory

An old fashioned main Street is lit by an eerie orange glow, backlighting festive plants and ornate, yet unlit Street lamps
Pumpkin glow is creeping through the air...

A wooden fence separates the viewer from a field of corn. Something in the Rose glows red, illuminating the fog and a maple tree looming above the fence
The Harvest Moon has passed and now there's something in the corn

A squat plush pumpkin with black jack-o'-lantern markings sits on a couch, while a fluffy black cat rests beside it. The cat appears unimpressed, as most cats do.
It's October eve

Warm sunlight comes from the end of a tunnel. You have to duck to keep your head from hitting the ceiling, and the textures of the walls vary between rough concrete and smooth spray paint. Water splashes around your feet, coming halfway up your shins. A warm breeze blows in fresh air, smelling of wet earth and spring growing plants. Nothing is behind you, but it feels as though you've been chased
Finally, the way out

Soft, warm flowers are adorned by six oval petals with fluffy centers and a skirt like calyx

It is cold, around 56°. And damp, you can hear water dripping in various places around you. You're a thousand ft underground, surrounded by Earthen teeth, stalactites and stalagmites fang-like around the cavern. You mustn't touch them, but they are smooth, cold, and damp each several feet long. You can't help but think that old gods live here
There is a light at the end of the tunnel. And the tunnel is full of teeth.

It smells of mildew. It smells wet and unkempt. The floor is relatively clear, for such a space. There's only three or four boards scattered across the wooden floor. It clearly hasn't been tended to for a while, and dirt and grit grind underneath your feet. The walls and ceiling are cracked, and a broad window has one panel slightly raised, allowing a cold breeze to pass through, a momentary reprieve from the smell of mold. It would be eerie, with how silent it is, if you didn't recognize it. You've never been here, of course, that's silly. And yet, it's familiar. As if you have been here. Maybe in a dream? That is... Also silly. And yet, you know that if you were to turn around, if you could somehow angle the photo differently, it would show a crumbling door frame, and a once-grand carved wooden bannister. What an odd thing to think. And an odder thing to know.
Familiar haunts

Warming light pours in from three three windows to the right. They are elevated, and reinforced, and, covered in graffiti. This matches the wall, which has crude lines scrawled upon it, perhaps daring artist's first attempt at the medium. Pvc pipes rise from the floor and hug the ceiling, held up by chains from corrugated surface. Below, the concrete floor is laden with chemical bottles and cables, easy to trip on. You can sense it here, too. There's something observing, waiting. Is it that there's something unseen in the photo, or is it unseen in the room with you? Which is an absurd question, Of course. Looking at a spooky photo can't affect things where you are.
The old tool plant

Sunlight filters in through holes in an abandoned factory. The floor is littered with debris, the walls adorned by graffiti, and nearby, a poorly made office lays in disrepair, missing an entire wall, the ceiling sagging. There is a presence here, unseen.
Lurking

A collection of bottles and items are lit in warm light. Nearest, is around, though bumpy, oak gall. A brown bottle to the right of it appears to have long barns. A smaller bottle nearby is full of sunbround pine needles, next to a bundle of rusted nails, a deer hoof, the toe bones lashed together to keep it in the shape. It was in life, while above. It, is a raccoon vertebra, and antler tip, and acorn, and entire bottle full of tiny phalanges, next to a bottle of dirt, candles, a small glass dome protecting the tiny skull of a shrew, The crunchy inside of a paper wasp nest, and an eight-pointed star made out of dogwood branches. It is a magical space, and you have earned yourself a Blessing, simply by your proximity to its image.

The rib of a deer lies upon a soft blanket. The dark stain achieved by soaking it in water and black walnut holes accentuates its smoothness, save for the white lines carved into it, depicting a cottonwood leaf, a maple leaf, a linden leaf, and a white oak leaf. It also depicts a long antlered deer and a crescent moon. You may be unaware of it, but you've gained a bit of magic by being near its image, and it will come through for you sometime today in a gentle And mundane way
Just a deer rib I made some art with. Stained it with black walnut, and then carved pretty designs into it!

In spite of boarded and bricked up Windows, light spills into a hallway. The walls are mostly brick, with peeling paint and plaster, the remnants littering the floor and causing every footstep to crunch. It smells vaguely of mildew, but the cold weather prevents it from becoming overbearing. Though the wind can be heard outside, the air is eerily still, shielded from the winter gale. Something watches you, though you can't see it.
The bike shop is long gone now

A tiny jar is held between a finger and a thumb, the background displaying a star map. The jar is a couple of inches high, and filled with small bony discs that look like some form of macabre cereal
Some nights you in a you spend looking for abandoned things. Some nights you end up crawling through the woods. Some nights you're sitting at home because someone gave you a tiny bottle and you decided it should be filled with vertebral epiphysis.

A window looks upon a farm, the trees still bare from winery but the grass is getting green and supple. An oil lamp sits in the window, ready to illuminate the table in front, which contains a soft white doily, a book, and a basket full of sewing supplies
Simple times

Grass like leaves protrude from the leaf litter, along with round stalks, the tops of which droop downwards, each with a soft oval flower at the end. Dew covers everything, cold and wet and sparkling
Snow drops are coming up~

At the very back of a hole in a tree is a stone painted in colors that are warm like sunshine, with the words. Stay positive, written upon it

Black and white sketch of a small, horned humanoid figure wearing pants and a bandolier strap, holding onto a rope in one hand and a compass in the other. Caption reads: "Uhhh north. That's the zig-zaggy one right? Well like, the zig-zag-zig one, NOT the 'zig-zag-zig-zag' one. Or, wait-"
If you're feeling a little lost, it's okay! You're not alone 💜

Dusk-- Railroad tracks are covered in undisturbed snow, dead weeds poking up amongst the slats.

A tree with two taps in it, for collecting maple sap
A pot of boiling liquid, a slight amber color
A jar of amber colored fluid, maple syrup, just a few ounces boiled from a gallon
It's Maple tapping season! Doing my best to work toward my solarpunk future

Before the pandemic, I spent a lot of time in a local coffee shop. The owner had hired me to do the menu in pastels and chalk, and I had permission to paint on anything I wanted. So I painted butterflies and bees and leaves and holes into the universe.
