Forest Fern

I'm someone who enjoys peaceful spots to walk, read, & take photos. I enjoy to see the beauty in your part of our world. I've learned a lot here, especially, .

From my world, my little dog, forest trails, my nightly movies, snacks, & random silliness or somberness.

I saw southern auroras last night!!!! Rakiura! Holy cow that was AMAZING

(View from a bit south of Arthur's Pass, New Zealand)

A nighttime view looking to the south, with the Milky Way stretching across the left portion of the photo, and the two Magellanic clouds visible as little puffs of cloudy stars, with blazingly bright pink and orange aurora pillars low on the horizon.  The auroras are also visible reflected in a lake that's just barely visible in the starlight, with silhouetted mountains on each side of the image.

@TheZorse I've been curious about that, too. I always take a look beforehand to see if they share things I'm interested in.

@TheZorse
That song happened to cross my mind last night when I was, with fondness, thinking about a long-ago love ❤️ Good times. I haven't heard it in years either so I thought I would share it.

@TheZorse I happened upon it at a market selling many imported goods. It's from Portugal. It's really delicious.

Furiously windy night underneath my favorite handmade cotton crocheted Afghan blanket.

Several episodes of Columbo with Peter Falk. Always a good thing.

Toast. Best discovery ever. *fig & honey jam.

I took this picture late summer in 2007 near Hveragerði, Iceland. I hadn’t been taking artistic pictures for long. 18 years later this still seems to be my magnum opus. The light was just right. Everything was just right. The sunlight striking the bright field backlit the horses. Crepuscular rays toppling over gently rolling hills in the background. It’s going to be hard for me to top this one, but not impossible!

Every time I look at this picture I’m immediately snapped back to that moment. I hear the birds, the gentle breeze that can be seen animating the horse’s manes, I’m standing there in my 20’s appreciating it, holding the camera but almost forgetting to take the picture. 😅

I hope you can appreciate the moment as well!

A photograph of two Icelandic horses (ponies?) on a prairie of sorts. They’re bathed in crepuscular sunlight and their thick manes are blowing in the summer breeze.

I Worried by Mary Oliver #poem #anxiety #insomnia

From Poetry community on Reddit. 
I Worried 
Mary Oliver

I worried a lot. Will the garden grow, will the rivers flow in the right direction, will the earth turn as it was taught, and if not how shall I correct it? 

Was I right, was I wrong, will I be forgiven, can I do better? 

Will I ever be able to sing, even the sparrows can do it and I am, well, hopeless. 

Is my eyesight fading or am I just imagining it, am I going to get rheumatism, lockjaw, dementia? 

Finally I saw that worrying had come to nothing. And gave it up. And took my old body and went out into the morning, and sang.

A close-up of ornamental grass in winter dormancy, its tall dried golden-tan blades bowing in sweeping arcs under a coating of fresh white snow. The intricate criss-crossing pattern of the stems creates a layered, textural composition against a soft, muted background.

A floppy in a camera? I had no idea that really happened.

Feeding time on the farm can be interesting. There are horses that think dinner is 3 hours late. There are horses that think all the food is theirs. And there are horses that want scratches with their dinner. It can be a truly dangerous time for humans.

A thread 1/4

It takes an hour or two to feed the herd and it leaves me singing things like...

And as we feed on down the herd
There waits a beer that we all know
That's cold and clear like we deserve
And if you work very hard
The beer will come to you at last
When work is done and all are fed
To be relaxed and very calm
With hors deurves and camembert
And he's drinking the beer made in heaven

4/4
