the heart as it is | courage • grief • beauty

… having to watch a video of legal steps in light of the current administration… essentially, if ICE do come on campus, we have to direct them to our university police department:

…the orchids in my office growing!

…Jacob making a quesadilla for me upon my arrival home:

…making cupcakes for a friend’s birthday and then making an extra cake loaf for Jacob and I:

…indulging in JJ’s cuteness (thinking of printing this photo out for the office):

…going on a REALLY quick trip to Raleigh, North Carolina for a wedding for an old friend from Onsite. Photos here include the plane ride, layover in Vegas, the AirBnB, the 1 coffee shop I visited, a very small history museum, photos from the wedding, and another layover photo in Denver:

…spotting some unusually stunning flowers growing on campus:

…and joining Flashes from Bluesky which is really gaining traction for me ! In just 2 weeks, I have already gained 65 followers. If I were to say numbers do not matter, I would be lying. As an artist (landscape & lifestyle photography), I like it when my photos get exposure ! It has been very difficult to do that with instagram these past years, so I am glad I discovered this platform and will continue trying it out for a while. If you are on it, feel free to add me !:

Thanks for reading !
