Leaving the city this sunday evening to catch the peak of the perseid meteor shower
As we pass through debris left by the tail of a comet twice the size of the one that caused the K-T extinction event
A humble annual reminder of the fragility of everything, how lucky we are to cross paths with this behemoth that shares our star, unscathed and witnessing something beautiful!

Magical realism
Last Thursday, a meteor appeared in the night sky over Los Angeles. I stood in place for 30 seconds watching it blaze brilliant red and orange before fizzling out suddenly. The experience moved me immensely and filled me with a sense of hope that I hadn’t felt in quite some time. I read later that it was a SpaceX satellite. I wish I hadn’t.

FULL MOON GAZING
Such a fan of hearing older men nerd out about astronomy and the moon
One guy had a contraption that connected to his telescope and allowed you to see through the lens of your phone.
got this photo of our stunning gal in her full glory with craters out and all. 🥹
Love being reminded of how tiny and finite we are.

Lately the only things I feel compelled to draw for tattoo practice are horses (and greyhounds—the horse of dogs)
