i’m not sure which i like better — camellias in the trees or camellias rotting gorgeously on the ground. i can’t stop taking photos of camellias any which way. but the rot is totally blowing my mind.

i didn’t change out of my pajamas all day. well, except to take a shower and put on fresh pajamas. so good.

don’t miss the *new* this joy+ride, issue #54, featuring lovely landscape paintings + words from emily gaines demsky of shining egg and habit!

oh my god. the time, while it’s a seriously good time, is just passing me by.

leo will be four in five days. i’ll be forty in ten days… does anyone know where the brakes are on this life? i feel like if i blink, i might look in the mirror and find myself 105.

only got three peony buds this year. but it just makes me love them all the more. this is the second to bloom.
