You know, I’m 46, studying writing at University, something tech bros tell me has no future, but I’ve never felt more sure that I wanted to create fiction in my whole life.

Fun circle rock! 😁 Seems like different colored circles too.

What a brave person. I spent weeks researching PCs just to buy one to replace my non-upgradeable Win 10 one. Because new ones don't have some of the things I'm clinging to, I ended up getting a refurbished one with Win 11 installed. Buying refurbished is also an act of courage, but a lesser one.

Joining #BlueSkyArtShow on today's theme #Evening with my super moon! 🌝

For years I've tried to capture a sharp moon and detailed foliage in a single, balanced exposure but it's always a challenge; this was the best I could do!

Happy Saturday! 📷 🕊️

One key, I've found, to creating for young people: finding ways to retain one's sense of WONDER. For me, this means that no matter how anxious I am to get somewhere, reminding myself to look for ways to enjoy the journey: to look for and appreciate the stories behind people and things.

I love rainbows.

A handful of ducks that were hiding behind this rock and surprised me as I looked out across the lake. Looks like a couple of mallards. I can’t identify the rest. On another calm day under mostly cloudy skies and some very nice fall colors in the trees , all reflecting on the water 🖖💚☮️

As I have said before, Its not a successful photoshoot without a complete soaker! #Scape #Photography #EastCoastKin

The air hums with color as bougainvilleas bloom, weaving joy through every branch.

Petals flutter like
paper dreams in the wind,
turning the garden
into a living watercolor…

Another advantage to having experienced being poor is it teaches you the difference between a need & a want. That's valuable knowledge if a situation requires you to cutback. Sometimes the faster you can adjust to a reduced financial situation, the better you can get thru it & hopefully recover.

I especially like "Transform the current situation with imagination."

This also seems to tie in with my interpretation of @thetarotlady.bsky.social 's weekend tarot card draw (The Hanged Man). For me, the card represented a shift in perspective.

My backyard keeps delivering! I'm over the moon excited to have had my favourite sparrow visit yesterday - and it has the boldest markings of any Fox Sparrow I've ever seen. There just might be a few more postings in the coming days. #birds #birding #Bobsbackyard #Ancaster #HamOnt #sparrow

Discover the Oldest Book of the Americas: A Close Look at the Astronomical Maya Codex of Mexico From the mighty Maya civilization, which dominated Mesoamerica for more than three and a half millennia, we have exactly four books. Only one of them predates the arrival of Spanish conquistadors in the sixteenth century: the Códice Maya de México, or Maya Codex of Mexico, which was created between 1021 and 1152. Though incomplete, and […]

If you're looking for some Glasgow-themed Christmas cards, I have a range of them featuring photos I've taken around the city over the last few years. They're now available from my website at: www.thisismyglasgow.com/product-cate....

I like this card, probably because my interpretation is it's about a shift in perspective (or a pause for reassesment). It shows a dramatic one, but even a small change can make a big difference. I'm actually working on 2 different, but interconnected changes, one practical, one mental.

Fairly new to BlueSky & tarot, so I just realized you were doing two different weekly card draws, one for weekends & one for weekdays. This seems like a really good way to look at the overarching energy for short time periods since weekends and weekdays feel different even if one doesn't have a job.

Good morning from the shores of Lake Washington. I managed to get out of the house a few minutes early to see what I wanted to see. It looks like a couple of days of decent weather ahead of us. Mother nature has done a good job of holding true to November being our wettest month so far.
