Denali National Park 💚

I love seeing what the sun lands on in my apartment throughout the day ☀️

Afternoon sun ☀️

Fake fireplaces are the best! 🥰

December ~ dried hydrangeas

Ha! I posted the “tax write-off” clip by earlier this evening 😆

My Friday night… 💚

An overturned stick is held upright in an autumn forest and covered in mature Splitgill mushrooms, one stacked above the next, each of their gills radiating above the next

Here are some nice mushrooms

“Mama always told me not to look into the eyes of the sun,
But mama, that's where the fun is…”

It was 4pm. There was probably no where that was fun at that time. 😆 But I do wanna go back to Highfield gardens in Spring

It was the first open bar we found to grab a quick drink

One day it dawned on me (no pun intended) that shadows are longest just before sunset.
Just call me ‘Melanie Longshadow’. Superhero.
My powers: just after sunset and throughout the night, I can move around in the dark without being seen. During that time, I learn to live with the darkness in me. ❤️

I’ve never had a pizza strip but I would’ve tried it like that!

Highfield Hall & Gardens, Falmouth Ma

I was there yesterday! Hung out at Bebo’s. Didn’t realize I was so close to you!

I am a lover of the Moon in all its phases. But I also like to stare when it’s Full.
I used to wonder why every Full Moon looked different. It’s not the Moon that changes, it’s Me (Us). 🤍

The leaves are falling. Time for Autumn to share Summer’s secrets

Healing.
Walking away from the red flags that I used to chase. 💙
