Camera Obscura 📸 ☀️

This just happened and I am pretty excited because this is the first time I've ever seen it naturally!!! Whatever way the skylight window was open it created a pinhole camera and the room just happened to be dark enough that it created a Camera Obscura! The video I took was horrific quality, so here are 24 photos that I *tried* to crop and edit equally to render the idea - bad quality but not as bad as the video. 😂
It may not look impressive now, but it was cool at the time - I promise! 😂✨

Love this passage in Natalie Goldberg’s Writing Down the Bones. Captured perfectly.

“Writers live twice. They go along with their regular life, are as fast as anyone in the grocery store, crossing the street, getting dressed for work in the morning. But there's another part of them that they have been training. The one that lives everything a second time. That sits down and sees their life again and goes over it. Looks at the texture and details.”

Good morning. ☕🍵🐶

So here we are—morning has arrived, and there’s coffee. I woke up late, nearly seven-thirty, a rare occurrence since I hardly ever sleep past six, if that long. Hmmm… I had hoped those first few sentences would spark something, but nothing seems to come to mind. Charlie is here. At first, I thought he wanted to go outside, but instead, he curled up next to my chair—an all-too-familiar sight. It’s funny how these small moments and daily habits shape our lives in ways we often overlook. Perhaps it’s the rhythm of life that matters most—the quiet consistency of morning coffee, the presence of loved ones, and, of course, our loyal, furry companions, who are both. Familiarity, after all, is the comfort food of existence.

"Familiarity reduces the greatness of things." – Seneca the Younger
