BrightFlame 🌟☀️🌙

I would like to say that I'm grounded, centered, and feeling effective ... but... 😒

and

Sometimes I am. ☀️

I'm thankful for so many holding a piece of the resistance so we don't all have to hold it at once. (at least, I don't have the energy for constant #activism )

Interconnection + community= #resilience

I'm also thankful to be adding to the #solarpunk stories out there. We need more #hope

The spring equinox marks the start of astronomical spring.

The date is determined by the Earth's tilt on its axis as it travels around the Sun.
At the equinox, the Earth's axis is tilted neither towards nor away from the Sun, making day and night nearly equal in length.
Wherever you are on the planet, the equinox occurs at the exactly the same moment…

Here, on the Isle of Skye in 2025 the equinox is on Thursday the 20th March at 09:01 hours.

The word "equinox" comes from Latin, where equi means "equal" and nox means "night." It would be easy to assume that day and night would be of equal length of 12 hours each. However, that is not entirely true. At the equinox, the measurement is taken from when the centre of the Sun is at the horizon and there are12 hours between sunrise and sunset. The top edge of the Sun is visible first at sunrise and last at sunset. Due to light refraction, there is still light for a short time even when the sun is no longer visible. This adds a little extra time to daylight hours. In spring, this means that the date when day and night are actually equal happens before the equinox - known as the equilux which means "equal light". This year the equilux is on 17 March in the UK. One thing that is absolutely true is that beyond the equinox, days will be longer than nights, until the summer solstice on 21 June. This photograph is of a landscape full of sunrays, spring colours and expectations.

A Sweet Gentleman

On our front porch we have drapes to block the sun when we're sitting there.

This morning I saw a small red squirrel bundling up one of the drapes in its mouth... to try and take the whole thing away, pulling ferociously at the curtain rod!
It did it several times before admitting defeat.

Forget lions, wolves or whatever.
I want to channel my inner squirrel: "I maybe small but I don't give a sh*t! I'll try anyway, again and again!"
