Lovely garden, hearted this post. Random thought while scrolling through: Icicles are frozen tree snot. Like, getting a runny nose in winter
Icy garden. Värmland, Sweden (March 27, 2023).
Positive Thought
I kind of love the idea of travelling with my cats, but at the same time it makes me afraid that they might get away and get lost in a strange, faraway place. Like, I remember once when we were bringing two kittens home from my cousin’s in Iowa back home to Virginia, there was this moment when we stopped at a rest stop to refresh their food and water bowls, and I just had this overwhelming realization that, with their carrier door open, if they were to get out of the car, they would probably get spooked by the commotion of the rest stop and run, and I would in all likelihood never see them again. This pretty kitty seems to be quite calm outdoors, and the woods are not the same as a rest stop, but still. I would worry.
Plus I have three cats and I think it would be harder to travel with them all than with just one kitty like this, and I would feel bad picking one cat over the others to take somewhere--although I suppose one could cycle through.
It’s certainly a tempting notion, travelling the world with cats in tow, and I love photo sets like this (or adventurecats.org is a fun site, too). Maybe some day, when I’m confident in their leash training and I have money to travel and such. It’s a lovely thought. And these are very pretty cat-and-nature pics.
My cat loves travel around the world
No hate to Star Wars, but Earth is a really awesome planet and this is a super cool post! :)
Oh, and speaking of pink lakes, this reminds me of Lake Hillier in Australia (image source: https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/lake-hillier)
And also, I know people get all excited about Hoia Baciu forest because it’s supposedly haunted and an alien sighting hotspot or whatever, but just aesthetically, I think the curvy trees would be a neat look for a far-off planet.

And speaking of funky looking forests, did I mention the rainbow eucalyptus forest in the Philippines? (image source: https://matadornetwork.com/trips/75-places-so-colorful-its-hard-to-believe-theyre-real-pics/)

Yeah, sci fi in general could do well to take more advantage of these things. Like, I know filming in quarries is a time-honored Doctor Who tradition, and I’m not suggesting an end to that. Welsh quarries are neat, too :) But the world is full of a great many fantastic sights.
why are star wars planets more boring than earth and our solar system like sure we’ve seen desert, snow, diff types of forest, beach, lava, rain, but like…
rainbow mountains (peru)
red soil (canada/PEI)
rings (saturn’s if they were on earth)
bioluminescent waves
northern lights (canada)
salt flats (bolivia, where they filmed crait but did NOTHING COOL WITH IT except red dust?? like??? come ON)
and cool fauna like the touch me not or like, you know, the venus flytrap.. and don’t get me started on BUGS like… we have bugs cooler than sw aliens
BASICALLY like???? come on star wars you had one (1) job where are the cool alien species
