It was a low energy day. It's been fairly warm lately. Taking pictures makes my walks feel more real somehow.

It was a day. I'm quite tired. Somebody who isn't me is eating strawberries in my garden, maybe my raccoon is back? We all deserve treats.

It was a beautiful sunny day. Everything is very lush and green outside, and I can collect a lot of fresh food for the bunnies. I've been needing a lot of rest.

It was a beautiful day. I've been having issues with intense fatigue, so I could only do a short walk. The spring vibes are really strong and more things bloom every day, everything is growing at incredible speeds.

It was a mild early spring day. There was an earthy scent in the air reminiscent of petrichor, although it hasn't rained in while now. There were many far away deer in the fields.

We got some light snow last night and some more throughout the day. The ground wasn't fully frozen, but there was a very cold wind.

It was a frosty, clear day. I went on my walk past sunset.

The cow boys were all there, on the close side of the stream.

A pro tip for photographing cows: if you want them to lift their head and look at you for a photo, try singing or humming to them. Here's Bambi, listening to me humming "Die Gedanken sind frei". Cows love a classic antifascist tune.

The bright spot in the sky is the planet Venus.

a cluster of tree silhouettes against the evening sky. there are some larger oak trees and smaller more gnarly looking ones. the sky is dark blue, and pale peach and yellow coloured above the horizon. there is a single point of light in the sky next to an oak tree.

the large trees by the side of the fields seen from a distance, in the last light past sunset. the sky is even darker than the previous shot, and the light point that is the planet Venus is more visible.

I stayed out for way after dark, looking at the stars and planets, trying to memorize constellations.

The sky was suddenly clear today, to my surprise and joy. The weather was beautiful, just above freezing, with almost no wind.

the sunset as seen from behind the bare willow bush in my garden. the swingset with the slide and basketball hoot is visible, as well as a bit of the garden house. the sun is lighting up the willow branches.

I walked through the apple orchard and into the fields. The moon was getting brighter and more beautiful the longer I walked.

the moon rising over the orchards, framed by wild looking apple tree branches. the dark thicket in the background is the plum orchard. the moon is almost full.

the sky quite a while after sunset, against the dark silhouettes of wild looking bare trees of the apple orchard. it is a deep blue gradient with some pinkish tones and a peach colour near the horizon.

I stayed out until dark.

It was another grey gloomy soggy day, just like the last couple days have been. I went to see the cow boys. They were there, but too far away for a nice photo.

chickweed growing among dark decaying fallen leaves. it is a bright green little plant with heart shaped leaves.

tall almost bare trees by the side of a stream, with a cow path underneath. the weather is gloomy.

some fallen leaves, mostly willow, that have collected in a crevice of a moss covered piece of wood

decaying wood of an old willow tree. a lot of the bark is gone. there are insect holes in the wood and it has striking dark patterns

I miss seeing the sun, but there's always trees to look at.

It was a grey, gloomy, soggy day. Well, as always, I gotta go on a walk.

little fuzzy tan mushrooms growing out of a moss covered log. they look like little clam shells.

I went out into the fields. It is now the season to find animal tracks in the mud. These are badger tracks. I also saw deer tracks and the actual far away deer to match them.

3 footprints of a badger in the mud, they have 5 toes and large claws

a very old very large willow tree by the edge of the field. it has several large trunks and looks very wild.

a green field on a gloomy day. it is overgrown with plants low on the ground, probably a type of Phacelia. there are powerlines in the distance. the sky is just grey.

the little stream, seen from above. there is a lot of foliage around it, some of it is colourful, green, red and yellow

some little light brown stemless mushrooms growing on a decaying branch.

the soggy wet bark of a large tree. there is a lot of small star-shaped moss growing on it and some little patches of bright yellow-green lichen.

remnants of dried tan seedheads of some plant, the shape is similar to fireworks

There has been much to see today.

It was a not too cold day, with some light rain from time to time. I went outside briefly around sunset. It is starting to really feel like winter despite the temperatures, just because so many plants are dried up and the trees have dropped almost all their leaves now.

cloudy dark grey evening sky over the fields and distant agricultural storage shacks, only a sliver of pale yellow light breaking through the clouds near the horizon
