#wintersolstice — Public Fediverse posts

Six years ago I hosted a virtual Christmas Party on Facebook, by painting all my absent friends visiting my old Victorian house for the holidays. Here are the Guthries, in my dining room. #art #painting #paintings #oil #oilpaintings #oilpainting #winter #winterpainting #snow #snowstorm #snowing #blizzard #heavysnow #heavysnows #wallpaper #interior #interiors #interiordecorating #christmas #holiday #holidays #wintersolstice #solstice #fineart #artforsale #stretchedcanvas #livingroom #parlor

Even though I've been an Atheist over fifty of my seventy-odd years, I still love Christmas Eve with family and friends. Non-believers are allowed to be sentimental about traditions and holidays, too. 1973. #christmas #holiday #holidays #tradition #traditions #sentimental #celebrate #christmaseve #wintersolstice #winterholidays #Yule #Dongzhi #Yalda #Soyal #Saturnalia #StLuciasDay #boxingday #atheist #atheist #atheism #goodwithoutgod #atheistsrock #family #familygathering #familyandfriends

I lost my best friend to suicide over forty years ago. Treatment for Bipolar, or Manic Depressive Illness, has improved tremendously, but our country still needs far better mental health resources. Christmas, 1982. #friend #friends #friendship #lifelongfriends #lifelongfriendship #christmas #holidays #wintersolstice #christmastree #holidaytree #1980s #suicide #suicideprevention #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #988SuicideandCrisisLifeline #988 #suicideprevention

The garden is still glowing on this Winter Solstice! 💚🧡🌶️

I hope you're all able to find some light today. 🕯️

Snow Geese on Ice
Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, NM

In honor of the Winter Solstice and Throwback Thursday I dug out one of my earliest photos from the refuge. Taken in December 2009 through a spotting scope of geese standing on a frozen pond. I reprocessed it this morning, mostly to increase the size for your viewing pleasure 😎

Doesn't look like much but on #WinterSolstice night this is a traditional #taishan - ese soup. Clear stock, usually pork and chicken, fish balls, fish cake, garnished with spring onions and coriander AND #glutinousriceballs. Think #mochi or #tteokboki ... Comforting on the shortest day of the year
