So healthy!
Meaningful discourse for today. #LaborDay #NationalParks
#BlueSkyMonday #Photography #EastCoastKin
Aww, that's so sweet!
Whenever I see this, I sing it in my head 🤣

Heroes for ever and ever, what you say? youtu.be/PKVN8m027ig?...
Beautiful. Perfect song playing too: Heroes by David Bowie. "We can be heroes for ever and ever. What you say?"
I take hemp CBD gummies daily. L-theanine too; it's an amino acid which claims to increase brain levels of serotonin, dopamine, and GABA. THC goes to my head too much so I avoid it. I hope you're able to find a 'cocktail' that works for you.
Love the ghostly feel of this inverted view.
I had no idea. Now I have to go look it up!
Takes one to know one 🤣

Hahahaha! Right?!

I miss her voice. She'd be on fire with today's events!
The action of planting and caring for trees illustrates hope for the future. This a very touching scene to me–– thank you for sharing this sweet view.
'Verrückte Natur' #FotoVorschlag Brood XIV cicadas this year! It was an amazing experience that I will never forget. #iPhonePhotography #EastCoastKin #Nature
Enjoy the journey. Cheers!

An apt illustration for the current state of affairs in the US.
I figured that about the paw paw because they're such a delicate, subtle flavor.
Good sittin' rocks. #RockinTuesday #BlueTue #iPhonePhotography #EastCoastKin
🤣 Of course you are! I'm still looking for the blackberry version- ever had it?
Some days it's good to wear clothes that make you laugh. Today is one of those days. #ColorADay #BlueTue #AnimalArtTuesday #Animals #Ale81 #Kentucky #Squirrel #iPhonePhotography #EastCoastKin
Solid choice every time.
Love that app! It’s so helpful.
That's exciting! I hear them so seldom that it usually takes me a minute to realize who I'm listening to.
Mesmerizing set of photos here.
So… Can a governor call out national guard troops to oppose national guard troops the president unlawfully calls???
Normalize putting an absurd amount of lettuce on sandwiches
Do it! It was fun figuring out which cup was best and where to position the light.
Thank you! I'm happy to have found the inspiration online- not sure I would have thought to do it otherwise.
This cup and saucer is a gift from a friend and I created this image to print on a card as my thank you to her. #Grateful #Photography #Monochrome #EastCoastKin
Artemis was returning to the shed after taking a splash in the pond, paused to look back at me following her, and created a beautifully curved shadow on the ground. #Photography #Monochrome #EastCoastKin
'Schattenspiel' #FotoVorschlag This is my version of a photography idea I found on the internet several years ago. I had to search my cupboard for a cup with a handle shaped just right and then play with the light position till the hidden heart was revealed. #Photography #Monochrome #EastCoastKin
Digging through past photos and enjoying them again, thinking what I would do differently, and sharing them to bsky prompts to connect and to distract my mind... oooo look, shiny! #Photography #Lumix #EastCoastKin

'Schattenspiel' #FotoVorschlag My mare's shadow reminds me of Etruscan sculptures of horses. #Horses #Equine #Photography #Monochrome #EastCoastKin
The meat to tomato ratio is as it should be!
I long to live in a world where people's physical appearance and abilities are no longer mocked and belittled, and cruelty and greed are seen as 'humiliating' traits instead.
Thank you! Natural light from the window- it's fun arranging these little vignettes.
Corn chowder and all the extras. #FoodOnFriday #HomeCooking #Foodie #Culinary #Photography #EastCoastKin
Exactly that. I forage mostly because I'm curious and want to learn more deeply about the plants around me, am ever-mindful of moderation, and diligent in maintaining healthy habitats for the wilds.
I like that idea. Most people over-collect when they find them.
So close, yet so far away! I've never seen them grow so high.
listen the world is a mess but a judge ordered the Florida migrant prison closed, California passed their "fuck around, find out" redistricting, and James Dobson is dead this is the best net good news day in awhile, I really do think
Wish I had that on my table for breakfast!
Thanks for saying so! It’s one of my favorite things I’ve done.
#FotoVorschlag has interesting daily prompts- take a look and jump in with your creativity if you like. I always enjoy seeing what others see when given a theme.
After what seems like 10 heat waves the countryside here in E Anglia is drab, but there's still floral colour... As ever my photo's a gentle hack for your brain if it's anxious/low-looking at plants & images you find beautiful's the antithesis of angsty news headlines & doomscrolling for your brain:
Take a break from doomscrolling. #birds #art #timelinecleanse #painting #kingfisher #icon #peace
'Kubistisch' #FotoVorschlag The Painter. I created this portrait of my husband, an oil painter. His painting was used for the background; several color and monochrome photos used to compose the remainder of the image. #Photography #Lumix #FineArt #Cubism #DigitalCollage #EastCoastKin

I'll be hearing the geese and cranes soon, then! No worries, autumn is a reenergizing time for me and I always look forward to the season.
Ouchy reminder. Already have winter heavy on my mind as we're cutting and splitting our firewood this summer.
Nice you had that experience. Yes, unfortunately but not surprisingly tRump is currently starving our parks system. Me and mine are lucky to have woods and trails of our own to tend and hopefully we'll leave behind something worthwhile for future generations.
Thank you, Luis!
Quail are all but gone from the place where I live but I do have a float like that, collected from a beach by my brother when he worked as a fisherman in AK.
Good on ya'. Reviving trails is hard but rewarding work.
That was a fun read. I think I'll use the word now that I know it- my job has way too many acronyms, so it'll get a lot of use there.
Yikes! Look at the depth of that bear swipe. I'm happy to be mostly at the top of the food chain around here. "Help" is a humorous carving. I saw "poop" carved into a tree at a local hiking spot and wondered at it. Humans are silly.
I thought it was your word too. Fun that it's 'bonafide' (as we say in KY).
Thank you! Glad to see you back, Sabine, with your marvelous conversations and images.
OMG your sentence is the best thing I've read in a long time! If ever there was a prompt to write, this is it.
Thanks! I made the title very pretentious as a joke and it stuck. LOL!
Thank you, Miri!
Such a handsome tuxedo. I like that stone bench too.
Fluid Embodiment of the Societal Organism (oil + water don't mix). This was a fun image to create. The title was too. #AbstractAug #Circles #ColorADay #BlueTue #CyanTue #Photography #Lumix #EastCoastKin
They are. Saw a bumblebee escape her web a couple days later and it had a struggle.
OG form of tagging, back before paint was used. #TagTuesday #Trees #Photography #EastCoastKin
'Handwerkszeug' #FotoVorschlag Carver: the knife he made with scrap metal, wood harvested from the land. His hands carve a monk.
I have one in the window behind me and she caught a horsefly for us recently! It was 2x bigger than her.
Read books with my coffee, wrote letters, and spent more time getting ready for work (back when I wore makeup). I want to get back to the books/letters part of that equation.
Sometimes it feels like this country is losing its mind. Or maybe it’s already lost it? When I feel overwhelmed, I’m reminded of this famous image of Salvador Dalà by Philippe Halsman — Everything flying every which way, things are out of control, gravity is upended, and chaos rules.
Relaxation tips: - put down your phone - breathe deeply - craft effigies of your enemies out of bones & hair - bury these effigies deep in the misty woods - summon forgotten gods and listen to stories of the old days, when moss & magic ruled the earth - have some tea
Totally missed yesterday's official Black Cat Appreciation Day. This li'l dude is appreciated year 'round and I'm grateful every day that he wandered into our lives. #BlackCats #MiniPanther #FancyPanther #SootySprite #StrayCat #AdoptDontShop #iPhonePhotography #EastCoastKin
This reminds me that I've wanted to do this for a few years. Thanks! I have local honey and garlic from my garden... :-)
A razor's edge of focus you have there and it is beautiful! I have to use a tripod these days to achieve that.
Today is #BlueSkyMonday and I caught the wild morning glories right before they closed up for the day. #iPhonePhotography #EastCoastKin
Oh! That's perfect for the 'mystery' theme!
I don't recognize our country anymore and I have run out of ideas of what to do about it.
ugh.

Hugs from here. Take care, Sabine 💙
Yaaas!
Okay, so that's the very best view I've ever seen of Carhenge!
I had a blast curating a quilt show recently. This is a detail shot of one of my favorites: Circle Dance, machine pieced and quilted by Carol Elliott. #Pieces #BlueSkyArtShow #Quilts #Photography #EastCoastKin

#bnwmacro is the new hashtag to replace #bnw_macro. It's a wondrous feed to follow!
Lovely image! The wild milkweed I moved to the veg garden soil are bonkers just like you described: 6 ft. tall and full of blooms.
We had way too much rain in KY but I grew these in a wire cage/tower with lots of sticks and bark in the bottom for drainage and they were okay. Drought's just now hitting us here. Thanks for the info link!
First time intentionally planting potatoes! Not a great yield but it’s a beginning. I would like to start next spring with my own seed potatoes but first I need to learn about how to do that.
Thank you, Alina. It was ridiculous, trying to figure out where to focus! I'm glad it worked out :-)
