It was actually a spur of the moment picture, we went to an astrology event at a bird refuge and there were lots of high-tech telescopes all around trying to find mars. But it was too cloudy so they were mainly looking at the moon. I got this shot from my iPhone through the telescope!

That moon––! How on Earth did you capture that moon? Was that taken with some kind of special camera? I must know! 

Moon aside, these are lovely vacation photos. That sandy pathway already has me longing for the summer we haven't even said goodbye to yet.

elise.writer, this positively sways, as the best poetry always does. Your choice of words felt both confident and lilting, and slipped off the tongue-in-my-head as I read this, producing the natural pauses I can see you intended -- and therefore, carried your theme of new beginnings, too, in a way that felt fresh and heartfelt.

Yes, it is both a small step and a tremendous, springing leap! Thank you for shining your positivity on a dire situation, as Pridejaguar13 said. Maybe you could add in a few more background details about the Montana court case in your piece, for readers who don't know anything about it: What specific rights did the young activists claim were being violated with the approval of new fossil fuel projects? How did they ultimately win the case, and has it now set a true precedent? etc.

The shading is impeccable! What materials did you use?

Oh my gosh! This is amazing! I am in love with your artstyle, they way you blend is incredible. I'm a huge space art nerd and I love the whimsy this adds to the galaxy, your artwork appears to be soft and defined all at once.

This hurts but in a good way, I appreciate your honesty.

Misplaced Trust, and What Comes After 1 year ago

There's this thing that happens when you grow up, where you can no longer remember how to skip. The last time I went for it, there were maybe <10 seconds of knees thrown up and akimbo as I stomp-stomped my way along before I fully gave up. But this looks like a proper gleeful SKIP through the flowers, and it's making me nostalgic, and makes me want to try again!
