Went home to Wales last month for a wedding, so took the opportunity to take some photos on Fujifilm Pro 400H and Pro 160ns.
I wish Fuji would bring these back as they are my favourite films.

#MothOfTheDay could tenuously be described as another #Muppet moth. Well, Gonzo-esque. The remarkably marked

SPECTACLE
Abrostola tripartita

Note, the spectacles are not its eyes. These are much further down either side of its long palps.

After a few days’ break, I returned to the world of Muff (with great joy) and immersed myself in our green garden. 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱What favorable conditions! After several days of rain☔️☔️☔️ and the following warm days☀️, a flowering explosion! 💥🌱 Time for some tidying up and the first harvest of the summer – nettle! ✅🍃It was growing proudly in one of our pots, looking tall and very healthy. It’s such a charismatic creatureI😅. I gave it a chance like never before. Another time, I would have eaten it young, or dried it long ago for winter tea. This time, it’s 150 cm tall and has beautiful, long seed pods. It was supposed to be used as fertilizer, but and after just a few days in water bath, it will be a great nutrient for other plants. Just dilute it properly, and that’s it. But what to do with the hanging seeds? Any ideas? ❓❔❓ #veganworld #nettle #greentherapy #vegan
A hard week leaches the iron out of a body like rain off a tin roof.

Here's the put-it-back: a fat handful of dried nettle in a quart jar, boiling water to the brim, lid on, left overnight. Strain in the morning. Drink it cold across the day — faintly of hay and earth, quietly mineral.
Tha do chorp a' cuimhneachadh — your body remembers.

Nettle for the iron the week stole back out of you.
A fat handful, dried or fresh-with-gloves, steeped covered in just-boiled water ten minutes — until it goes deep green and tastes faintly of the forest floor. Deanntag is the old word: the sting that heals once you've met it with hot water and respect.
The season puts the iron back where the news took it out.

Take back the iron the week stole. Steep dried nettle, covered, 15 min, till it's deep-moss green. The plant that bites in the field gives your minerals back. 🔗 https://twp.ai/9OXSJr #Herbalism #Nettle #Wellness #SelfCare #Somatic #Healing #FoodAsMedicine

The week stole your iron back. Take it back. Steep a fistful of dried nettle—deanntag, the sting that heals once dried—covered, 15 minutes, until it's deep-moss green. Drink it warm. The plant that bites the hand in the field gives that hand its minerals across the winter.

Nettle, for the iron the week took back. Steep a fistful of dried nettle—deanntag, the old word for the sting that heals once dried—in just-off-boil water, covered, fifteen minutes, until it's the green of deep moss. Drink it warm. The plant that bites the hand in the field gives that hand its iron and minerals back across the winter—the season's oldest joke, told in your own blood. Before the phone tomorrow, press both feet flat to the floor and name five things you can hear. You are a body in a room before you are a citizen in a crisis.
