Recently I missed a couple of weeks of posting my photos here due to really bad mental health but I hope to make up for that. I design my photos using recent research into the shift in brain activity from fight/flight to rest &relaxation triggered by looking at plants/at something we find beautiful.

Well, @biggreenbooks.bsky.social this was an excellent choice for me. Too good a choice, actually, as I read it in September after a trip to Berlin! Lots to discuss when you've read it @spittingyarn.bsky.social

A good, private library is a research tool, not an ego boosting appendage. "The library should contain as much of what you don’t know as your financial means allows. The more you know, the larger the rows of unread books." Umberto Eco in his library, Modena, Italy, April 1977, by Leonardo Cendamo

Early winter berry palette, for the possible dopamine it might trigger in your brain. The colour of spindle berries (bottom rightish) never seems quite real...

It would be so great if you could RT my Etsy shop in the twoots below/above. My🌲 jewellery orders usually make up a significant part of my income at this time of yr but the X exodus has meant I’ve only received 1 order-pretty scary income-wise. A small boost would help so much. Thankyou🌿

I plan to post at least one of my photos a day here on Bluesky. I design each of my photos using recent research into the benefits to mental health of looking at plants & patterns in nature. Making my collections relaxes my noisy autistic+ADHD brain & they'll relax yours by looking at them here:
