The light in the Outer Hebrides is a wonder.

My favourite way to speak artistically is through wood. My focus recently has been #illustration - specifically my #tarot decks - but wood is my heart’s best canvas. I prefer #reclaimed wood, often rescuing pieces from being firewood. I paint & draw on pieces, but #pyrography is my favourite. All #freehand. Shown here are #chestnut and #yew I saved with permission from a log pile, and some #sycamore and #ash I got from a furniture makers offcuts.

A piece of chestnut with bark on the end. It’s was from a plank being used to make a porch, and was in the pile for the fire. It is unsanded and very rough, you can still see saw marks. I’ve burned a very intricate floral pattern onto it.A mandala I burned freehand onto a round woodworking blank intended for being turned into a plate, but it wasn’t the right size so it was doomed for the fire. Instead it now has a very intricate design on it, you can see the natural ripples and grain of the wood through it.A closeup of some very intricate pyrography on a piece of ash. The bark is still on the wood, but the pattern itself covers the surface of the wood completely.A small, wonky piece of yew, saved from an offcut pile from a woodworker. This little piece stands upright on its own, on a bookshelf beside from very old copies of The Practical Woodworker. Being yew, the wood is multi coloured. Pale white, deep orange, and purples, and in ribbons on this one tiny piece. My artwork follows the natural colour pattern, and I’ve burned a loose vine design onto it.

As a scientist, we really need to promote the true meaning of Darwin’s work.
Greedy capitalists jumped on the few sentences of “survival of the fittest.” Whilst if you actually read his work, it is cooperation that allows a species to thrive.

Good morning. Fijne Dag! :)

A mob of red deer stags in Richmond Park, they were on the edge of the woods and unless you stopped to look from most angles they were perfectly hidden, I crouched down to take the shot, that's when I could see how many there were (shot with a long lens it looks like I was a lot closer than I actually was). #RichmondPark #RedDeer #Stags #RedStags #WildLifePhotography #Nature #Photography #AltText

A mob of adult red deer stags sit in the woods. Early morning misty light comes from behind them through the tree trunks and branches silhouetting their antlers like a forest within a forest. The image is made of brown tones from the rusty bracken the stags are sitting in to the warm yellow light of the sun as it fights its way through the trees and mist.

I recorded this Mountain Meditation as part of my Insight Timer collection – it's a great practice to help you learn to weather emotional storms, develop resilience & groundedness, understanding that everything – including painful emotions & experiences – comes and goes, with time:

Yesterday evening I went to an annual Gospel Choir performance.

Last year I went mainly to see my Asperger's friend & weekly "music student" perform.

The choir has taken him under their wing , understood his needs, and welcomed him.

He had a ball - as did we all.

The performance was amazing & regardless of one's beliefs or lack of, the collective group vibe was tangible.

The choir leader asked for audience members to come up and sing. I did. She handed me her mic & I let rip. :)

Would love to hear what exciting new research is in the pipeline from #Autistic #autism researchers

@BarnetBoy
Exactly!

@LutherBlissett13
No problem. Looking forward to hearing some. :)

"Awakening is the hook that reels you in because it has been baited with the promise of a “happily ever after”. The impermanence, the inconsistency, the uncertainty and the fleeting nature of our experiences torment us and cause us to suffer. And “abiding” is the promise that takes all that pain away."

Thanks for reminding me that Carl Rogers was one of the inspirations to look at things in a different light.

That was when I was 16. :)

I was here earlier this afternoon, catching the last of the day's light. Back home, warm and comfortable I made the decision to head back out at 8 this evening. Minus 4, but still and silent. The sky filled with shooting stars.

Llyn Y Dywarchen & Yr Wyddfa this evening.

My previous post shows the earlier picture.

Night time at Llyn Y Dywarchen looking towards Yr Wyddfa. The lake is frozen. The sky is filled with twinkling stars. A barbed wire fence sinks into the frozen lake.

Take a close look at this picture. The perfect family Christmas – even the dog looks full of festive cheer. And how closely does this resemble your family Christmas? I thought so. This holiday season does bring lovely moments, if we’re lucky – but can also be stressful, lonely, upsetting, conflict-filled and generally tough for many of us.
