January 2024: Fog, Birds & Glorious Green

Saturday's rainy, foggy walk:

It doesn't look like anything from here:

But this is the reality of melting snow & drizzly rain. I see one or two Wilson's Snipes almost every time I walk here this time of year. I've tried to take photos of the snipes on multiple occasions but the photos were all blurry sacks of suck. Your average Bigfoot photo is crystal clear in comparison. Snipes are fast, camouflaged & fly in a natural zigzag pattern. I imagine the only way I'll ever get a decent photo of one is if I find it dead on the ground:

First alien abduction of 2024. The only thing left was this poor bastard's hat on the driveway:

Bought a new bird feeder since the gray squirrels jacked the old one up & this warbler was the first one to try it out. Birds can be leery of new feeders because their dinosaur ancestors imparted to them the wisdom that all new things aren't necessarily good. After all, that meteorite was something new & nothing good:

With the freezing temperatures gone for awhile, we uncovered our cool season vegetables so they could enjoy some unfiltered light:

Brussels a'sprouting:

Not ready yet but this broccoli is getting there:

These two heads of cabbage are looking good:

Rivers and streams around Atlanta

This top image is taken from a map of the rivers and streams around Atlanta. Pretty amazing! You can find it at: opendata.atlantaregional.com

And this doesn't even include springs in the city center that have been diverted underground! You can see those in this second image, taken from an excellent article by Hannah Palmer called "The scent of water: Searching for hidden springs in downtown Atlanta" (Atlanta Magazine).

We don't celebrate our water enough. These streams should be a point of pride, like our tree canopy. They should be cleaned up and accessible to the public.

Hannah gave a presentation about Atlanta's natural water last week at Night of Ideas and I've been thinking about it a lot. You can judge a place by how well it values its natural waters, and also by looking at who does and doesn't have access to water.

Also: check out the Atlanta Creek League project for a fun look at our creeks: atlantacreekleague.com

Exploring the more accessible field. The field had about 20-30 turkeys in it, so I was careful not to disrupt. The creek beyond the grass is a little harder to get to without exposure to ticks. I’ll try again once the path gets a little drier. What creeks are you by? Are they inhabited with wild life?

WIP Intro - Eldenstow Creek

{ Story Description }

A drive through the empty roads of the countryside, along the edge of the woods and away from everything they'd once known. Sounds nice right? well not when you're running from something, something far more sinister than what they were about to encounter. The world was not as it seemed, there was another side, a side where strangeness & evil resided. Circuses popping out of seemingly nowhere, pools of mystical water trying to pull them in, unintended consequences after trying to fight this higher power. Everything had seemed normal but then they’d made one mistake, messed with the wrong person, spilled the blood of something they never should've. So yeah. They were in the same car and driving along the edge of the woods. Nothing to it.

{ The Basics }

Genre - Urban Fantasy & Mystery

Themes & Tropes - Mystical, Supernatural, Adventure, Unlikely Friends, Unintended consequences, Derealization, Fear of The Unknown, Dark Imagery, LGBTQ+ Characters, POC characters, Dreamlike Descriptions, Mind-bending, Self-sacrifice, and Horror.

Setting - Fictional locations in Eastern U.S & Fantasy Locations

Status - Plotting & Drafting

Point Of View - Third Person Limited

Content Warning - Contains Dark Topics such as assault, violence & murder.

{ Spoiler-Free Synopsis }

Shae Brooks is just trying to live a ‘normal’ life, at least not one full of fantasy creatures and a girl who seems to be more full of bullshit than anyone else he’d ever met. He makes one mistake, he interacts with the wrong person, but instead of just letting him deal with his own problems like a normal person, a girl named Ruby Gardner comes along and decides the best course of action is violence.

Not wanting to be arrested for a crime he didn’t commit the best course of action is to go with her right? And when things go south from there the only choice is to follow this lunatic girl who seems to be stuck in her head far more than the real world wherever she intends to take them. The further they venture, the weirder things get, pools of mystical water, creatures from the unknown, woods that seem to be unending, bottomless creeks, and a journey they’d truly never forget.

But the question is... why? why any of it? Why does he choose to go along with this girl who is the exact opposite of himself, whom he never in a million years thought could be a friend. What is this girl hiding and why did she do something so unthinkable such as spilling the blood of another?

There’s love and there’s loss, but nothing is as it seems and that stands true for the happy ending as well.

{ Eldenstow Creek Playlist }

Mysterious & Unusual, the perfect accompaniment to this story.

{ Notes & Conclusion }

I was inspired to write this story by two very different stories, one of which is Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman where it starts off seemingly normal and gets more and more strange as time goes on, and the other is The End of The F***ing World mostly in writing style and also the whole- murder thing y’know? So if like those, you might like this one.

Character Intros will hopefully be soon (if I get any interaction that would help motivate me to share) for the two main characters Ruby and Shae who are complete opposites but both have very strong personalities.

This story is early in development, I’ve just written bits and pieces here and there but I did want to put an intro out there so if you are interested in this idea, you can watch as it develops.
