I helped someone learn the joys of RSS feeds today.

I am so thankful the tool exists that helps me curate my own internet experience… I can stay up to date in ways I couldn’t before, and I’m seeing updates to things that I would have lost without it.

I am following so many lovely artist bloggers, and when folks make new posts I don’t have to worry about missing the notification they have a new one that they shared on some social media walled garden whose algorithm hides it from me because it has an external link.

My reader isn’t fancy (It’s called ReadKit and it’s for Apple) but it keeps me informed.

Now to encourage people to stop using platforms to share their stuff and start using their own websites. I shouldn’t need to join some company’s silo container to see your latest news.

Here’s my blog. Type in the web address into your reader. It’ll set you up.

Photography as a Journey to Healing

Healing through landscape photography is more than just taking pictures; it’s about finding peace and clarity in nature. Whether standing on my grandparents' former property overlooking Lake Superior or capturing an overcast sunrise on the Atlantic Ocean, photography reminds me that beauty exists even in life’s cloudy moments. Capturing these moments heals me, and by sharing my art, I hope to offer solace to others, no matter where they are.

BEAUTIFUL SUN CREATIONS AND CAPTURES · Photography as a Journey to HealingHealing through landscape photography is more than just taking pictures; it’s about finding peace and clarity in nature. Whether standing on my grandparents' former property overlooking Lake Superior or capturing an overcast sunrise on the Atlantic Ocean, photography reminds me that beauty exists even in life’s cloudy moments. Capturing these moments heals me, and by sharing my art, I hope to offer solace to others, no matter where they are.

An accident while out photographing nature can happen to anyone. Here's what I learned after I had a hard fall a while back and what I did to help prevent further mishaps.

It is important to always be mindful of your surroundings. In this case, I was looking ahead to my next shot and I didn't lift my foot high enough to get over the short little wooden fence. It could have been so much worse! I was lucky!

It was as I stood photographing Whitefish Point Lighthouse on a cold winter day in 2018, that I decided that I needed to start publishing my work for others to see. What good was it to have a beautiful image like this and not have anyone else see it? And, I also got to thinking….even though a picture might be worth a thousand words, that doesn't tell the story behind the image. My photo blog is more like a story, not an instructional article. What I might have gone through to get to the point when I clicked the shutter. debbeausoleil.com

Then I discovered Mastodon. It's a community like no other social media platform. It's so much more to me than just a place to share my art. During some pretty low points in my life in the past year, I could always count on some interesting, funny, beautiful conversations in my home feed. Things that would take my mind off what was really going on in my world. And for that, I thank you all for the part you've played.
