#ArtAdventCalendar Day 22 /23 #LeafMother has been working on the wreaths! I hope anyone who celebrates in any way is having a beautiful season! For me the meaningful date is the Solstice - #Christmas is a cultural time- treats available, probable day off work, fun old music and imagery etc. For those who find this a difficult time of year, may you find #SolaceInNature and #friends online or in the flesh! #WinterSolstice #nature #winter #Baltic #pagan #Latvian

This video is from August 27- early signs of #Autumn + #apples
Things have moved along a lot already, though we still have a lot of green, and the above average temperatures have continued over the last few weeks. #LeafMother begins her work slowly, picking up speed day after day.. #Alberta #Baltic #Latvian #pagan #animist #weather #garden Youtube link, #Spectra to follow

There are still some warm days to come, but #FrostMother is leaving hints on chilly nights and #LeafMother is letting us know she's around as more bits of colour appear in the foliage.. #Autumn begins, slowly, subtly but soon to gain speed.. #FoliageFriday On a smoky day in mid-week: Amur Maple Acer tataricum subsp. ginnala in the #Garden

Still colour to be found- if you are looking! #LeafMother brought my attention to this #aspen #leaf on the ground, among many others, most of which have faded to dull earthy tones. I picked it up and placed it on a fallen balsam poplar trunk to photograph. #SolaceInNature #autumn #winter #BorealForest #animist #pagan #nature #photography #GetOutside

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 11 #LeafMother has left some colour from Autumn (months ago!) hanging bright against the #snow with a drop of frozen #rain and inscribed with cryptic insect prayers to the #GreatMother #Goddess! and Day 12 #Saule #Sun is nearly at the maximum of her turn to the south, yet her rays still brighten #Winter days, even if the warmth is mostly in our hearts! #Alberta #December #BorealForest #WinterPictures #CountryLiving #animist #Latvian

Hey, this one's on time (only 9:33 p.m. here!) #SixOnSaturday for the end of #November #landscape colours are reduced to just a few though the sky still carries Saule's goodwishes at her rising and setting and her light plays with #shadow in #SnowMother 's offerings and #LeafMother 's leftovers!

#FoliageFriday #SnowMother came suddenly and seriously this week, with no regard for the remaining efforts of #LeafMother 'Your time is done', she said, 'Saule turns ever more to the south and Great Mother needs her cloak of white."
...still, traces of the season's final colour remain amidst the white..

I've been making an #altar for #AutumnEquinox (and some of the other key #Solar dates) for some years now. Several years back it gained an extra level of meaning for me, as my Mother died at this time.
Now, the altar marks the #season : the richness of #fruit and #flower and #seed of remaining #green and burgeoning #AutumnColour as #Saule turns her face to the south and #LeafMother paints the world in jewel tones. (cont)

A #SlowWalk for #SevenOnSunday (unlike a hike, a slow walk is not about going someplace, it is about
#being someplace -of course hikes *can* do this too).
Colours just starting to tip over into #autumn #LeafMother starts with the understory, forbs and shrubs and begins to dull the greens in preparation for the over the top displays to come.

#FlowersOnFriday #Sun #Clouds #StormyWeather #Rain -plenty of rain! that's what this week was like! It's still summer here in early #August and there will be warm days and things flowering for a long time to come, but #Saule is already beginning to turn her gaze southward and #LeafMother will soon begin painting Autumn colours! details in replies
