  3. Acabado, con sus defectos, que los tiene, me sigue pareciendo un imprescindible para los aficionados al #naturewriting, qué pena que no estén por aquí #lasdelosjardines del OldTwitter.

  4. Chamomile - The covered milk steep. Put 2 tablespoons of dried whole chamomile flowers — flowers, not dust — into a cup of milk, dairy or oat, and warm it until it steams. Take it off the heat, cover the pot, let it sit ten minutes, and strain. Drink it slowly, late, in a chair. Sip. Sit. Relaxation defined in a cup. The old Scots word was cammamyld, kinda calming #DeepSummer #Nature #Foraging #Druid #Pagan #EarthBased #Phenology #Georgia #Garden #Solidarity #Photography #Gaelic #NatureWriting

  7. "Beaver Safari

    It has been raining hard all morning and into the afternoon, but now we are at the gate, in the early evening, the sun is out. We wear our sensible footwear, raincoats, some of us have binoculars."

  8. I like this

    Melbourne gave each of its 70,000 street trees an ID number and an email address in 2013 so residents could report dropped limbs, and instead the trees received thousands of love letters from around the world, which city staff sometimes answer in the voice of the tree

  10. It’s been a long Indian summer
    and the hips are rotting on the beach rose.

    I can almost taste their sour skins –
    red balls of seeds glistening…

    —Marion McCready, “Rose Hips and Thistles”
    published in MADAME ECOSSE (Eyewear Books, 2017)

  11. Strike

    The phobia of a copperhead strike
    is made real by the lunge of a
    lawnmower into the brush to shred
    the coiling orange and brown with
    a screaming whump only to realize
    that it was an eastern box turtle
    I had set upon.

    Once again what I am afraid of
    has led me to destroy what I love
    and I weep, wondering if I will ever
    become one whose perceived fears
    are not acted on.

    I did not look to see if the
    slowmover was dead
    but I knew. I could see the
    bloody pieces of her
    shell scattered across
    the lawn.

  13. It happened: After a long creative crisis, I blogged again:
    steady.page/en/naturematchcuts

    I’ve regained my passion for #writing human-made texts in a world of slop and scraping. And with #NatureMatchCuts I'll talk about more than nature topics. I'll talk about how we can find #hope and motivation to act in these weird times.

  16. “Facing two ways, the poem is part elegy, part praise song. I felt after reading it as if I’d just been walking over that sunlit ground, as if Jamie had spread the moor under the poem, with the sky arching above it.”

    Carol Rumens discusses Kathleen Jamie’s “Moor”

  17. What do we sense on the moor but ghost folk,
    ghost deer, even ghost wolf. The path itself is a
    phantom, almost erased in ling and yellow tormentil:
    flowers of this summer and this summer only…

    —Kathleen Jamie, “Moor”
    from CAIRN (Sort of Books, 2024)

  18. The tulip poplars have begun dropping yellow leaves in August. Not autumn — thirst. The ground went dry and the tree made a decision about it, ahead of schedule, the way anything does when the season asks too much.

    Kudzu in bloom on every roadside, smelling absurdly of grape soda. Cicada shells still gripping the pine bark where the bodies climbed out.

  19. It gets late early out here
    in the lacklustre places,
    wind in the trees and the foodstalls’
    ricepaper lamplight, fading and blurred with rain…

    —John Burnside, “Travelling South, Scotland, August 2012”
    published in BLACK MIDDENS: New Writing Scotland 31 (ASL, 2013)

  20. The hill is tossing high, frail wisps of
    rosy cloud to glide in steady gale
    along a turquoise sky, around, above the
    perpendicular and slightly askew columns,
    above the triangular gap
    between crown and crag…

    —Tessa Ransford, “August 3rd”
    published in Shadows from the Greater Hill (Ramsay Head Press, 1987)

  21. A bird’s voice chinks and tinkles
    Alone in the gaunt reedbed –
    Tiny silversmith
    Working late in the evening…

    —Norman MacCaig, “July evening”
    published in THE POEMS OF NORMAN MacCAIG (Birlinn, 2009)
