The moment was all, the moment was enough.

Standing on the edge of a viewing point looking down on a turquoise colored glacial lake as the first rays of the sun hit the rocky mountain peaks that border the lake. The sky is blue with a few white clouds.

Have a great day Bluesky! 🇨🇦

A poster showing a cat reading a book and sipping some coffee. A bit anthropomorphic but we’ll let it slide. Words above the cat read - Let me check my GIVE A SHITOMETER Words at the bottoms read - NOPE, NOTHING.

Not a cat guy, but I want this sign.

Happy Dogs 😊

Just a little lite reading.

i used to be good at remembering things with all these warm bodies moving in and out of my room why does it feel empty thoughts that used to give me comfort are foreign not even the words on the page are familiar someone's been inside my head rearranging things there's a new sky window but the light that's supposed to help me see things more clearly only leaves me feeling exposed

The Himalayan vulture showcases its striking “false eyes,” a smart adaptation that makes it look bigger and more intimidating.

Lake day in Tahoe?

Cascade foothills. Dark green conifers with low clouds center, exposed treetops, thick white clouds and fog above.

Current conditions. Cascade foothills. I’m thankful for the rain.🩶♥️🫶🏻

The tiny sink in a hospital room I've forgotten how many times I banged my hip on that sink in our cloistered, claustrophobic room. I've forgotten how many times I washed my hands, rinsed out cups, wet the wipes to wash your face clean. I washed my hair in it twice, my bent back stiff from the chair, water slopping over the sides, dripping noiselessly onto the rubber floor. And once it stopped me from falling when there was nothing else left to hold on to.

Black and white kitten sweetly resting it's head on a ginger and white dog's head. Besties.

Time for my emotional support roasted potatoes

Delicate white blossoms on a thin curved branch against a blurred grayish-blue sky.

A rose opening slowly, like love learning its way.

Love is a heartbeat
learning a second rhythm…

I composed a beautiful letter to you in the sleepless nightmare hours of the night, and it has all gone: I just miss you, in a quite simple desperate human way.

The Letters of Vita Sackville-West to Virginia Woolf. January 21, 1926

Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.

Rainy spring morning 🌧️

This is a poem by Mary Oliver entitle "Don't Hesitate" in which she cautions people against resisting joy for fear of its loss, or for fear that something terrible is happening or is about to happen. If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don't hesitate. Give in to it. There are plenty of lives and whole towns destroyed or about to be. We are not wise, and not very often kind. And much can never be redeemed. Still, life has some possibility left. Perhaps this is its way of fighting back, that sometimes something happens better than all the riches or power in the world. It could be anything, but very likely you notice it in the instant when love begins. Anyway, that's often the case. Anyway, whatever it is, don't be afraid of its plenty. Joy is not made to be a crumb.

I confess that, at times, I resist joy for fear of its loss, or because something bad is happening or is about to happen. "Don't be afraid of its plenty" calls me in the opposite direction. I'm grateful.

The largest and sharpest image ever taken of the Andromeda galaxy — otherwise known as M31. It is the biggest Hubble image ever released and shows over 100 million stars, thousands of star clusters in a section of the galaxy’s disc stretching across over 40 000 light-years.
