It's a visual cliché, I know, but when it presents, there's no choice.

I never understood why grandpa always preferred sandals, and cut holes in the top of his shoes for "breathing" and hated hot feet.

I didn't know why mom hated heels, and loved being barefoot and having minimal shoes, and often went barefoot outside.

I grew up and my #tourettes worsened for a bunch of reasons.

Hot feet make them cramp/spasm up randomly more, and I prefer very thin slip ons myself, and breathable socks.

I also like #sensory of the world.

One tenement reflected in another on Argyle Street in Glasgow.

"There is, it seems, a great reluctance to mark this COVID anniversary...Many would prefer to forget. But there’s so much we would do well to remember. The groundswell of mutual aid. The coming together in righteous protest. The skills we developed and the muscles we flexed, during those long, fraught months. The ways of being and doing that we relied on to make it through."

I hiked on a new local trail today— one that led to this lake. I am very familiar with the lake as I had already canoed on it, including paddling around this island that is in the middle of this pic. So nice to revisit it on foot! #hiking #nature

Looking out on the trees bordering the Nez Perce-Clearwater National Forest on a rainy, misty September morning. I love coming back to this view whenever I visit — it heals something in me.
