It's a snowy day in Seattle, so I chose this shot for Day 20 of #ArtAdventCalendar! ❄️
I actually took this a few years ago from a park near my home, but I'm sure if I walked up there today it would be a very similar scene! The snow is really piling up out there right now.☃️
Hope everyone has a lovely day! 😊

'Guinea Pig with Wild Hair' is a pet portrait artwork that I did in soft pastels earlier in 2022. This is the first and only guinea pig I've done so far, although I have drawn hamsters before. I was intrigued by the interesting curves in this critter's long, luxuiant fur.
See this artwork in my online gallery at https://mm-anderson.pixels.com/featured/guinea-pig-with-wild-hair-mm-anderson.html or one of the other sites in my profile.

One of my favourite lichens, Xanthoria polycarpa. I often seem to find it on metal church railings, as it is here at Beetley. #lichensubscribe #lichen #fungi
Kitties spent #Caturday doing what they do every weekend: trying to take over the world through vigorous napping. #CatsOfMastodon
PSA for for pretty much everyone, even those who aren’t new - there is another mass migration underway. Meaning lots of accounts are being created on instances all across the fediverse, and the people behind those accounts are exploring, introducing themselves, and so on. Some instances handle this load better than others.
PLEASE NOTE: while you can migrate an account to a new instance and your followers will move with you, however doing so during times like this may cause that to not work correctly.
Please be patient with instances that are have trouble keeping up. They will get it under control. We are all doing the best we can. Most all instances are funded by donations from members. If you are able, look at your instance’s /about page and consider donating.
I chose my image, Surrounded by Love to be my first post as it shows the affection in a wild horse familial band. The mare (a grullo) and her two sons from consecutive years were from the Palomino Buttes Herd in Oregon. Their band was an especially tight and loving familial band at the time. It is beautiful to see the dynamics between the horses when they are allowed to live in a natural habitat and in familial or bachelor bands. #wildhorses #mustangs

Every client I have has someone who suddenly has COVID. It's now affecting my work as a work-from-home freelancer.
One editor's got it, a project head for another company has it, and so on.
The CDC is recommending mask-wearing for a reason.
I suggest you heed the advice. Thanksgiving has spread things like a bomb, stateside. #COVID #mask
Bought new #plants for my #aquarium. Rinsed them well and was assured by the sellers the plants were grown in a #snail free environment.
And now this. So far just the one.
….So cute!!!
I already have an adult #neritesnail. This is a small freshwater aquarium with a single beta fish so I hope there is enough algae to support the baby. I already add the occasional algae disk. I’ll have to watch closely to make sure we don’t need more.

Life is serves you many dishes- sometimes things fall apart before you get to enjoy them.
Appreciating being able to enjoy them means realizing how much effort is put into making things that don't last forever.
This makes the moment you experience to be the taste of your own life recipe.
Day 12 of #ArtAdventCalendar falls on #Mondog, so how could I NOT post one of my favorite pooches of all time??
This is my daycare buddy, Beau. I took care of him for almost 10 years and we had so many adventures together! He passed in 2020 and boy do I miss him, but his memory lives on the hundreds of photos I took of him. ❤️
Here he is doing his best impression of Superman. I think he nailed it. 😄

The #fediverse is my happy place. I post and boost #science, #animals, #photography, #poetry and #art. I may add a little about politics and the real world, but I want to keep my happy place happy and will use #ContentWarnings if possible. I’m one of many #WomenInSTEM who love #myco and #astronomy and #coding and #philosophy and #comics and #books and #MetalMusic I #bike, play #bassguitar, and care for my #dogsandcatsofmastodon models when not working. Ich lese Deutsch. Schreiben ist schwieriger. Manchmal werde ich es versuchen.
