When horror visits the world, it’s tempting to believe that's all there is, but every hug, every shared laugh, every small kindness is proof that despair isn’t the only guest at the table. ✌️🫶🖖

I love this so much, Stimpy! Beautiful capture. 🤍
My new favorite new-to-me shirt! 😻 (Theo says hi, too 🥰🐾)
I am so very sorry. Sending my deepest condolences.
I love these so much! She is such a beautiful person inside and out 🥹❤️
I always feel so lucky when I get to see a Katydid! 💚 Their camouflage is absolutely amazing.

magical skies this morning 💖
Wishing for the very best possible outcome your beautiful mom and for strength and serenity as she courageously faces these challenges. 🩷 I’m so thankful she has such a loving and supportive son by her side. Please remember to take care of yourself too.
Today’s evening dog walk through the Cathedral of Pines as the setting sun caresses the tree bark. If your timeline needs a moment of peace, come walk with Monty and me, my friends. 😊 #woodland #trees #sunset #walk #calm #peace #dog #photography
What will we do this winter when our pretty flowers are gone? Same as always, I guess. Get out the seed catalogs. But until then, savor these moments, and everyone’s lovely pictures of bees and flowers, raindrops on leaves, garden harvests, warm summer sunsets. I cherish them, and all of you. 💙🌱
“But dawn — dawn is a gift. Much is revealed about a person by his or her passion, or indifference, to this opening of the door of day. No one who loves dawn, and is abroad to see it, could be a stranger to me.” —Mary Oliver
Thank you, that’s so very kind of you! :)
Morning and happy Sunday. A mix of grey sky with occasional sunshine here. I am enjoying the flowers on Gentle Hermione another pretty David Austin Rose. #bloomscrolling 🌱

The last couple roses of the season for this bush. They are so sweet and happy just for all you wonderful people. I wish peace to everyone this evening 🕊️ Take care 🩵✌️ #peace #flowers #roses #nature
In other news, I just love my daughter’s cute new nails she did last night 💚✨ and my son has beaten his Rubik’s Cube record reaching a 22-second solve time! 👏 He’s really enjoying the challenge mastering his Rubik’s Revenge (4x4) algorithms too 🥰
Little friends I met in the yard this week 💚
Poppies and dandelions
“The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.” —William Blake
Kitty doing what she does best in all her cute & stripy glory! 😍🥰 The kids and I have tried to give her a name since we adopted her in 2019 but nothing ever sticks. 😆

Mutilated dude of the order Orthoptera 💛💚 Happy #InsectThursday 🦗 #Insects #Orthoptera #thelittlethings
She’s not blending in and I get the feeling she doesn’t care!! It’s wonderful 💛🩷 I wish for everyone to have the Thursday you want and need to have 🩵✌️ #nature #flowers
Pink Robin (Petroica rodinogaster): 13.5cm (5.3in). This is a small passerine bird with striking pink plumage found in southeastern Australia. Amazing photo taken by Deepak Karra in Victoria, Australia. #bluesky #pinkrobin #robin #bird #wildlife #nature #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #birds
A happy climber, I don't have the heart to trim, I'll wait until spring before she wakes up.🥀
Lola the cuddlebug being lovely (as usual) 💓
Our cute little waning moon hanging out with Venus and Jupiter this morning 🧡
a little storm overnight and a beautiful sunrise 🥰🧡🩵
Oh my goodness, what a wonderful way to end the day. So incredibly beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing, Nick. 💫
Look who I got to meet this evening! 💕🐾

Sooooo happy you decided to reply to that mystery text! 😭❤️🥹❤️
The handsomest brown eyes watching me water the flowers this evening 😍
🦋
Woohoo! I didn’t know we had a special day! 🎉💕
View of the eastern sky Sunday evening 💜
They look amazing! 💚💚💚
What great pics! The buzz cut does not negate anything though. 😂 Have a wonderful night, friend!
Omfg you do NOT look like him but that’s hilarious! 🤣 Love your beautiful sunset pics!
G, G, and G 😍
Off-topic but I keep thinking you remind me of someone I know but I’m pretty sure it’s just my brain deciding you look like a composite of a young Gene Wilder and Bradley Cooper 😄
Honestly thinking about watching it again today 😆💕
An especially gorgeous photo, Sara! 💖
😭💔 You weren’t wrong and those things still matter, they’re just going to have to be applied in the context of a world we (or at least I) didn’t anticipate for them. Thank you for fighting on their behalf. It’s what haunts me most of all these days. The world we’re leaving for them.
That’s a really beautiful interpretation, Jason. ❤️ Your one-track mind is not annoying! You’re one of the few who are willing to speak up and do your best to live in alignment with your values. Now that’s powerful and inspiring. 🤗
I love it when photos evoke feelings like that. It was really kinda surreal last night when I took it — so many birds were swirling around my house with that shocking sky on the background. Felt kinda like a Hitchcock scene! 😍
Such a beautiful capture! I especially love the ceiling. 💛
lol the face of no regrets! 😂
Me too. 💔 I am so thankful our kids won’t have to live like that.
