The swifts are already migrating :( I am so sad, its so quiet outside without their song

Almost all of them are gone, the sky feels empty 💔💔💔 I can’t believe I will have to wait until next spring to see them again 😭

#stuff i say ig #high humidity AND no swifts????#july worst month of the year confirmed

Hello. Wear sunscreen, and a hat, light coloured cotton and linen clothing, drink lots and lots of water, eat properly, have fiber with every meal, especially fruits and vegetables. If you can, go for a brisk walk regularly, even 30 mins 5 days a week make a big difference. A healthier cardiovascular system = a body that handles the heat and cools you down more efficiently and way faster

#stuff i say ig #this heat wave is no joke you all

A shimmering landscape widens my eyes

The swifts are already migrating :( I am so sad, its so quiet outside without their song

#stuff i say ig #birdwatching #reasons to dread July: 1) the heat 2) the swifts leaving and not coming back until next spring

I went on a urban hike at a park and I saw so many swallows… I actually cried

#stuff i say ig #birdwatching #truly the most beautiful birds ever #they are capable of evoking emotion man

it takes me a week to complete doodles that I used to draw in four hours but I am prioritising going outside, seeking nature and moving my body for my physical and mental health so I am fine with it. Its okay to create at a slower pace and 2026 is the year I finally learned to accept it

#stuff i say ig

I saw so many butterflies today, I can’t remember the last time this happened… I am very glad to see that there’s more bugs this year :)

#art reblog #i love this so much

How did I go from drawing in my sketchbook every day to having to wear gloves whenever I touch paper 💔 I hate this allergy

#stuff i say ig #i miss traditional art so so much :(

I love you tree swallows 💙

It took me a while to pick up a ( digital ) pencil again after I found out I’m allergic to paper and basically all traditional art supplies but I did it. Yay
