i had a single teaspoon of matcha yesterday morning and i felt like the heavens opened up and shone on every corner of my ADHD brain.

it was miraculous, glorious, liberating; and i then proceeded to be awake for 20 hours straight.

i quit caffeine last autumn in a bid to help me sleep without horse doses of sleep meds. it worked, for the most part -- my "sleep stack" still matches the summit of mount everest, but at least it's not in the exosphere! i still often sleep 6 hours or less a night and am completely nonfunctional, but at least i'm falling asleep!

i suppose i got used to being constantly exhausted and needing to exert 300 times more effort than usual to do anything. then yesterday i went and ate that goddamn apple and now i'm full of angst. so it goes!

since i can no longer enjoy it, i'll ask a vicarious question -- how do you like your coffee or tea? 🍵✨☕

Tennessee Renaissance Festival ~ 2010

Faerie leaves.

We were privileged to see several faeries today on our walk along the Bluffs, which is good luck in itself but this one allowed us to see his face and waistcoat which is truly remarkable

The Faerie Forest is here! Deep in the heart of Avalonia on the Mystic Islands lies a land rich with magic and mystery. Here is the Faerie Forest capitol home to more than 200 forestmen and elves. The world's most elite archers are found here in its renown Archery Guild. And if you're looking for an earth wizard, ent, or faerie dragon rider, here is the place to find them. One can even see the expanse of the mystic isles from the Redwoods hundreds of feet tall. It is here that Coral and Siercon make their home.

Wishing you all a great Labor Day weekend. thank you for stopping by <3

A bit of fun while hiking in the back of the property on a rainy overcast day.

W.I.P.?

Having my translucent blue doors and borrowing Magma's trans-glitter pink ones, I knew a faerie dragon/thing had to be done sooner or later. Since there were a lot of pink pieces on sale at Kocke Fest 13, I figured this is as good of a time as any.

Should anything be changed on him (her? Or is it a hermaphrodite?), since I guess I am keeping my MOCs built for longer periods of time lately (8 at the moment)?

Just another fantasy avatar in a fantasy world ;)

Life can be very difficult, and stressful. Taking solace in the beauty of nature can be a great comfort.

This is a seven-image panorama of a small section of a forest path that I sometimes walk along.

You shouldn't believe people when they tell you that "camera gear doesn't matter". Gear definitely does matter. At least in this forest it does. I probably wouldn't have been able to capture this image if I didn't own a Nikon D850 (or any other camera with at least 14.8 stops of dynamic range (which is the difference between the darkest darks and the brightest brights)).

While it might not be too difficult to capture this composition on an overcast day, when the sunlight penetrates the canopy, everything becomes a lot more difficult. There are very few cameras today that are able to capture all the details in both the highlights and shadows in one single exposure in a forest scene like this. Taking multiple exposures and then blending them together afterwards might seem like the obvious solution to that problem, but you can only really do this when there is no wind... so that nothing moves a millimetre between each of those bracketed shots. The only workable solution is to expose for the highlights (white pixels can only become grey when you darken them), and then hope that you can retrieve all the details from the shadow areas of your RAW file later.

Yesterday, while walking in the park, my eye was caught by flashes of light, as the faeries were just waking up from their afternoon naps...

The Knysna Forest at Knight... attempt #4.

This is a combination of five different photographs... and only because I don't have five 1000 lumen lanterns... yet. :)
