『Day2363-6-010』 Back home. We miss sunshine already. 暗くなるのが早くなったなぁ。あおさん帰宅の写真と、ラシーンを救出するももと。 明日、明後日は久々にお父ちゃんのコーヒー屋のない週末。 あおは地味に喜んでいるに違いない。 明日は出かけよう。 3日連続家の前の写真。 雪がふると、極端に行動範囲が狭くなる笑。 #rurallife #slowlife #notslowlife #countrylife #snowcountry #田舎暮らし #スローライフ #ノットスローライフ #5歳 #fiveyearsold #あおの棚田米 #移住 #コーヒーとタープ #自家焙煎 #microroastery #microroaster #古民家リノベーション #古民家暮らし #rasheen #ラシーン https://www.instagram.com/p/CmOM2TiPcz9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My parents took us to all kinds of natural wonders when we were kids. One park, Callaway Gardens, was a frequent stop in my Georgia childhood. They had magnolia trees to scale, squirrels to chase, a lake to swim in, and--best of all--a giant butterfly garden. A huge glass room filled to the brim with monarch butterflies, eating sweet bananas and fluttering overhead like magic. I have patchy memories of interpretive signage and guides telling us about these sharply bedecked orange-and-black creatures: I learned about aposematic signaling from their bright colors, as well as Batesian mimicry--they tasted so bad to birds, that other butterflies mimicked them in appearance to gain the defense. Once when one landed on my hand to "lick" off some errant soda I'd spilled earlier, it was like a kiss from a wild thing--and I resolved to repeat the spill whenever I came back.⠀ ⠀ Their erratic orange magic continued outside the glass building--at home, at school, wandering through meadows at church, fluttering through my mother's garden. Monarchs, everywhere, all over the place, common as clouds. They were a constant presence in my Southern childhood. ⠀ ⠀ When I see one now, it is with the nostalgic delight of meeting an old friend--tempered by a sorrow I can't quite put into words. According to the Center for Biological Diversity, monarchs have declined in my part of the world by more than 80% in the last two decades. This tracks with my anecdotal observations of seeing them less and less often over the years, even though I spend much of my time outside--alignment between the big and small pictures. A once everyday sight, increasingly rare. ⠀ ⠀ Since I struggle with capturing the sorrow in my own words, I will borrow those of William Beebe:⠀ ⠀ "...when the last individual of a race of living things breathes no more, another heaven and another earth must pass before such a one can be again."⠀ ⠀ #monarchbutterfly #acrylic #painting #art #illustration #monarch #habitatloss #climatechange #reflection #fiveyearsold #30years #30paintings #catchingup #butterfly #butterflybushes #flowers #gardens #colors #biodiversity #hopeforbetter https://www.instagram.com/p/CRlfOy5jjon/?utm_medium=tumblr

『Day2365-6-012』 When it snows, Ao automatically plays outside. 雪がふったら遊ぶ。 嵐なんて関係なし。 基地は必ずつくる。 これ、とても大切。 凍える前に風呂に飛びこむ。 遊び終えたら、身体をドライに保ち、暖かくする。 これ、幸せ。 #rurallife #slowlife #notslowlife #countrylife #snowcountry #田舎暮らし #スローライフ #ノットスローライフ #5歳 #fiveyearsold #あおの棚田米 #移住 #コーヒーとタープ #自家焙煎 #microroastery #microroaster #古民家リノベーション #古民家暮らし https://www.instagram.com/p/CmTGGhAPQMO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
