When the long, varnished buds of beech
Point out beyond their reach,
And tanned by summer suns
Leaves of black bryony turn bronze…

—Andrew Young, “The Beech-Wood”

Andrew Young (1885–1971) – described by C.S. Lewis as “A modern Marvell & a modern marvel” – was born #OTD, 29 April

Man weiß ja nie, ob/wann man das mal dringend braucht...

A photo I've taken, paired with a line from my book 'Drystone – A Life Rebuilt:

'Edinburgh is beautiful. Everyone knows that. A jostling, joyful congregation of five hundred years of architectural one-upmanship.'

"If you find it difficult to think of a #river as alive, try picturing a dying or dead river. This is easier ... Can a forest think? Does a mountain remember? Is a river alive?"
One of my favourite nature writers is Robert Macfarlane. And since I can follow him again on another place, I get his new texts. Here's a great #essay from his coming #book 'Is A River Alive': https://www.theguardian.com/books/2025/apr/26/is-this-river-alive-robert-macfarlane-on-the-lives-deaths-and-rights-of-our-rivers

“I’m learning the limitations of words and the need to remember that we cannot ignore something miraculous simply because our language is too limited to name it.” https://orionmagazine.org/article/imaginal-ecology/

"Every day is Earth Day if you endeavor to truly see the world." via #OrionMagazine

“At a time of global ecological crisis, when the greed and short-sightedness of humans threatens an increasingly fragile environment, her intuitive understanding of the landscape and the rhythms of nature is both a clarion call and a balm for the soul.”

—Dr Scott Lyall on Nan Shepherd’s THE LIVING MOUNTAIN

You can't imagine the effort I have to put in to write a podcast episode (will be about moss). First of all, I have to understand everything myself so that I can then tell you all about it in three sentences in the most entertaining way possible.

The #BatAppreciationDay reminds me when I once had to interview a #bat and a #cactus (I have a special device for that): podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w... #podcast #NatureMatchCuts #bats #pollinators #gardening #natureWriting

"Guckstu!" Bro-Builder, Sis-Selfies, Nature Writing

Wir schauen uns Landschaftsbilder an, sammeln Eindrücke, notieren, was wir sehen, fühlen, wir erklimmen einen Aussichtsturm, lassen uns den Wind um die Nase wehen und erkunden die Gegend.

Wenn dir das Schreiben schwerfällt, kannst du trotzdem mitmachen und einfach erzählen, was dich bewegt.
