Sun Prints - herbs
The winter Solstice is approaching and I've come across the sun prints I made this past summer of some of the herbs in my yard: Bidens, Chives, Rue, Sage, Yarrow, Dandelion. I'm nourished by these shadow reminders of my plant allies and neighbors. Sweet dreams, Flora. Rest well in Pachamama.
