The Taraxacum officinale (dandelion) that was posted a few days ago was so popular I thought I’d share this lovely set of seed 'clocks' seen today on a coastal walk. Common dandelions grow in all kinds of grasslands in Orkney from lawns to roadside verges, pastures to traditional meadows.

My kink is being incredibly gentle with her, being respectful, listening to her yapping all day and helping her discover her true self while being with her.
Sometimes i think i’m interesting then i’m reminded by nature’s existence long before i even learned to walk

These Acer palmatum (Japanese maple) are probably over a 100 years old and have beautiful shaped branches. These are a small deciduous tree with deeply 5 to 7-lobed leaves which usually have dramatic autumn colour. They grow best in a moist but well-drained soil in partial shade.

Words to live by
(grabs you by the shoulders) you have to make room for new experiences in your life. you have to go through the unpleasant work of leaving your comfort zone, even if just for a few minutes at a time. because if you don't, your brain will trick you into stagnation. you will start to believe that the world can barely fit you in it. but that's not true. it's the opposite way around. you can fit the whole word inside of you. your task is only this: to welcome it with open arms
This will never cease to erase all worries i have in life if its your hand and mine recreating this

Daydreams of being in places as these with you, respectively and endearingly am working towards finding a way to make these dreams come true
