scroll quickly and this is almost an hallucination, it’s so otherworldly. and earthy.

At the same time, scrolling through them quickly almost hurts. The need to gaze and long to touch each one. I love how you’ve curated these, including some that at first glance may not have seemed to qualify as “check,” though they certainly are. Thank you, as always.
