Watching patterns of movement in the almost ripe crops yesterday…☺️✨

[Video description: The frame is filled almost entirely with hundreds of sturdy tall stalks topped with ears of grain - a view across a farmers field to green trees beyond a brilliant blue sky. The crop is ripening quickly in the summer sun and is beginning to look richly golden. As the seashore breezes blow over the field, the stalks sway and flex one distinct patch at a time. Multiplied over the field this looks like a loosely choreographed dance - both graceful and hypnotic.]

A day on the shore hunting for fossils…

* This was a couple of weekends ago - I’m currently in bed, crook with not one, but two infections (there must have been a 🌟 2 for 1 offer 🌟 that I didn’t spot 🤷‍♀️😂). But watching this back made me smile… 😄

[Video description: A montage of clips showing a 40-something white man and woman, both wearing hiking clothes, hats and sunglasses, on a Scottish shoreline on a extremely sunny day. They scramble over rocks looking in cracks for fossils. The sea is brilliant blue and there’s nobody else on the shore. Under the dappled shade of trees they show found fossils in dark coloured mudstone to the camera, one by one - parts of ridged shells, and smooth bivalve shell remains, each one rich with texture. ]

[Image Description: a square format digital abstract painting featuring muted nature colours in browns and pinks. Loose, messy brush type marks cluster down the right side, like the wiped marks of fingers covered in mud. These contrast with the crisp, bright pale taupe surrounding them. An area of ‘black cherry’ maroon warms up the colour palette, and pinks softens it. A balance between detail and solid colour is achieved, creating a sense of compositional harmony.]

Is this not stunningly beautiful!? 🤷‍♀️👌✨✨
I mean i know I’ve had my head in rock-land for the last few weeks, but… those patterns 😍

I want to make the gneiss / nice joke, but it doesn’t really work as written humour 🤷‍♀️😂. I really want to be a geologist and therefore banned from *ever* using the word ‘nice’ at work, to avoid mixups, because it amuses me that much! 😂😂

I’ve just recently read that gneiss is SO abundant that you could drill ANYWHERE on the earths crust and EVENTUALLY, perhaps somewhere deep, deep down, you would hit gneiss 🤷‍♀️😍.

I also learned that the root of the word ‘gneiss’ comes from the German word for ‘spark’, because it glitters - isn’t that beautiful! 😍

[Video ID: A large boulder is seen on the shore amongst pebbles and sand. The camera zooms in to study it’s surface, moving slowly across it and pausing at various points to really take in it beauty. Lines of dark material meander and weave between areas of lighter crystals, forming rivers that all flow roughly in the same direction, but swirl and eddy, widen and shrink.]

[Video description: A montage of clips opens with still water reflects a blue softly clouded sky and dark low hills with perfect precision. Fat snowflakes fall from a honey-coloured hazy sky. The sun peeks through the twisted, gnarled branches of an old birch tree, making copper-coloured old ferns glow like embers. The camera pans from behind a tall grey cliff to reveal a pebble beach that stretches off into murky fog that conceals all. Waves wash over bright red sand. The view opens out to show red sandstone shoreline rocks coloured an even richer shade of red by a fierce rouge sunset. Under a cheery blue sky, sand rockets down the length of a smooth-surfaced beach at terrifying speed.]

More stones and ink lines… ☺️

When I imagine how I’m going to lay out any abstract composition 🤔, I envision the journey the viewers eye will go on 👁… and try to craft a pathway where one element bounces it to the next, and then on to another, like a latex-pool-ball-bungee-cord-bumper-car… ➡️➡️➡️ until you are trapped into an endless cycle of perpetual travel, swirled and tumbled, twirled and funnelled until there is *definitively* no escape and I have *captured your very soul* in a vortex of entanglement!! 😵‍💫🧠🌪**moooooooo-ha-ha-haha-haaa!** 😂😂😉

[Image Description: An arrangement of water-worn stones on an ink drawing made on white paper. Expressive black brushed lines form a sort-of circle of loose marks, which are intercepted by rocks here and there, creating points that arrest the flow of the eye and or draw its focus. The textures of the stones individually contributes to this ebb and flow of the eye by either being solidly coloured and ‘weighty’ in the composition, or having a graphic appearance that adds further texture and interesting fine detail. Overall a balance of tonal values, white space, movement and textural elements is achieved.]

These little blue flashes kept darting by us as we walked down to the shore… ✨ This was the only one that stopped long enough for me to snap his likeness ☺️.

He was a bit ragged around the edges and I tried to imagine his story… 🤔 before he too beat his wings into action and bobbed off on a breeze ☺️.

Common Blue butterfly.

#LiveLifeInTechnicolour
#StayCurious

[Image Description: A small cornflower blue butterfly sits, songs open, on a purple thistle flower, amongst tall, dry, buff-coloured grasses as the edge of a vivid green feral crop field. It’s stout, dark body is covered by a thick fur of electric blue hairs, which extend onto the nearest parts of the wings. It’s wings have a duel tone effect making them seem at once blue, lilac and grey, and they are aged and tattered around the edges making the butterfly seem like it’s had a hard life since emerging from its cocoon.]

Disability Pride Month is almost at an end and I’ve not spoken out much on the subject, because honestly there’s so much to say and issues that are so layered and complex that I’ve struggled to pull together the words... And in many ways I hope I do Disability Pride every month ☺️. But, before the moment passes, I just want to add this thought…*

Disability hasn’t lowered my standard of living.
It’s just lowered my baseline for happiness.

Now if I get through a day and I’ve controlled my pain, managed my energy, been engrossed in something I love and made myself smile a few times, then I’ve won. If I’ve been comfortable, I’ve won. If I’ve spent time with people I love, or chatted across the internet with folk who share the same geekish interests as me, I’ve won. If I’ve learned something or created something, I’ve won.

I don’t have complex needs anymore - just a need for relative comfort and for love ❤️. And in many ways that’s a gift I’d wish for anyone 🤷‍♀️.

I’m proud of that resourcefulness in me. I’m proud of who I am and what I achieve. I’m proud to share those things honesty with others ❤️.

Happy Disability Pride!
Learn. Grow.
Be a good ally 👍

* Speaking for myself only here.

[Image ID: A short white woman wearing hiking clothing & walking boots faces away from the camera. She’s supported her mobility aid, a rollator, which she pushes in front of her. She rests a litter picking stick on its frame, as she walks with it over a sandy beach that’s illuminated by golden sunset light. The distant water is orange & the sky is shades of coral & lilac. The sunset colours match the orange of her jacket, creating a harmonious atmosphere to the image.]

[Image Description: A white woman with tied-up blonde hair in a messy bun, red cateye glasses and big red acrylic hoop earrings stands against the background of a green hedge in sunlight. She’s looking at the camera directly with a cheeky expression, drumming her fingers on her lips like a scheming villain film character. Clips play of a man holding a shovel, a handful of grubby and chipped transferware pottery shards, an old Scottish whitewashed Georgian house, and a green grass lawn with a red ‘x marks the spot’ cross flashing over it. The final clip shows a spade being thrown down into a patch of freshly dug soil with the words ‘goodbye lawn’ punching up onto the screen.]

Collected pebbles in the studio, for collaging and arranging…

[Image Description: A heavy, dark wood drawer from a Victorian desk is seen from above. It’s stacked with carefully arranged beach pebbles. Sandstone rocks are arranged side-on in order of size. Other stones are grouped by colour (black basalts, White Sea-fuzzed quartz) or patterns (stripes, mottled, conglomerates with a maroon matrix, stones comprised of two different rocks butting up to each other, rocks with a central stripe, etc). Almost a third of the drawer is filled with loosely arranged colourful, graphic, speckled granites of many colours - pinks, whites, greys blacks and yellow.]

You think this is a great joke, but someone told someone, who told my husband that a tourist was actually waiting at the bus stop the other day 🤷‍♀️

(But then again, the someone who told someone, who told my husband that story might just have been cracking a joke about the joke?! 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️😂😂)

#LiveLifeInTechnicolour
#StayCurious

[Video Description: Amongst grass and green bushes sits a slightly broken park bench beside a metal pole with a bus stop sign on top. On the bench sits a plastic skeleton, resting jauntily on one arm. A caption reads ‘A bus stop sits beside a highland beach’, then ‘But what’s surprising is…’. The camera pans around to show a deserted sandy beach under a sunset sky, an arrow points away into the distance and a caption pops up saying ‘nearest public road 1.5 km this way’. The camera pans onward to show the other direction that the beach stretches away in, and text says ‘nearest public road 9 km this way (with impassable cliffs)’. The camera completes its full 360 degree spin to show again the shore-side location of the bus stop, and a caption explains ‘no buses stop anywhere near this spot’ and ‘it’s just a long running local joke! 😂’. ]

[Image Description: A roughly circular pile of pottery shards on a white background, including transferware, spongeware, featheredge, oriental porcelain and creamware. Each piece is irregular in shape and a few millimetres to a 5 or 6 centimetres across. Prints are in green, grey, blue, brown and orange, mostly on white and cream grounds, feature flowers, leaves, seaweed, Grecian designs, wave forms, stripes, scrolls and a dragon. All date from the 19th and early 20th century.]
