Wow really?? A book of poems! You just made my whole day and maybe my whole year! I’ve always wanted to publish a book of poems but I never had time to write them. It never occurred to me that I already am lol 🤣 thank you so much for your amazingly kind words and for taking the time to read and comment. You’re incredible 🩶

So wonderful! I have to say, the stone gnome creeped me out. I love all the red in spring. I’ll be think about that. Was it cold at night… I love the abundance of pictures.

Hi JT, thank you for checking in. He’s not doing great, we will be saying goodbye tomorrow or Thursday. We’re hanging in there and trying to keep him comfortable. I am so grateful for you and this community and all of your support through this devastating time.

I’m so impressed by your ability to grow so much and I hope you decide to share pictures sometime! Would love to see it.

Thank you Susan! I’m so glad you like all the pictures bc I always feel like I overdo it. I can’t narrow it down. I love that stone gnome - he’s so deliciously creepy! I’m obsessed. And yes, it does get cold at night. I think it’s a combination of that and also the sun is out now so it’s showing off the different pigments in the leaves. I’m a fall girlie so it makes me so happy to get a little bit of fall in the spring. Thank you so much for being here and taking the time to comment. I hope you have a wonderful day my friend.

Lyns, you’re a ⭐️…don’t ever forget that sweetie, ever. I had a friend in high school whose maiden name was McCracken. I wonder if she may have been a distant cousin? Anyhow, bless you for being such a lovely person…

The whole peace is masterful and soulful, everything from your voice, your pacing your beautiful imagery. The humility and love the shines through is very touching.

That they wait to sweep our pain away, that love may be enough, that I may be worthy.

Stunning sister. Sending you a big fairy hug. 😘

Love all of it. The images and the words. Fairy Town is indeed a special place. Love the grace and the grief you weave as you sit in the space of knowing and unknown. I do not have words to take away the sorrow. I only hope every day is one of absolute love for you and all you hold dear, most especially Parker the Pug. Sending lots of warm hugs for you all. ❤️

Sending so much love your way, this honouring of the deep love between you two, and the sacredness of goodbyes is truly felt Lyns 💞

In your words and in the magical pictures (never too many!!!), they are telling a whole story on their own, and you capture them beautifully.

big hugs for you guys and for Parker 🩵

i love your photos. some really cool angles that give spookadelic effects, mid 80's acid-tinged horror fantasy vibes. the colour saturations and contrast levels you go for remind me of the film Mandy one of my favourite films.
