Lately, I’ve been getting outside more to recharge and reset. Seems like a nice way to say good riddance to the summer heat and hello to fake fall. (at Bull Creek District Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUvbD3qlXTs/?utm_medium=tumblr

Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes on my birthday two weeks ago! I had a wonderful day with family and friends in-person and on zoom and lots of treaty yum yums! 🍰 But the best part was getting my portrait taken by my mentor and photofather Eli Reed. 📷 It was such a great experience to be on the other side of the camera and I think he captured perfectly how I see myself and how I feel at this moment in my life. Here’s looking at you, 32! ✨💜✨ https://www.instagram.com/p/CT3a3aXNOEU/?utm_medium=tumblr

They got married!!! On Valentine’s Day! (Our parents 40th wedding anniversary!) AND at the beginning of a week long snowstorm. ❄️❤️❄️ Congratulations to my little sister @lindseygerson and my brother-in-law @scsays on your first week of marriage! It’s been quite a week, but I’m so excited for you both to start this next adventure in life together. I’m so honored to have been a part of your special day. Thank you for bracing the cold and snow for these photos. ❄️ I love you both! To the moon and beyond... Love, Seaweed. https://www.instagram.com/p/CLkuK8HlW2o/?igshid=1n6xanur66uki

Breaking up your feed with these beautiful purple flowers! 🔮 It’s a stressful time right now and hard for me to focus on anything besides the news, but a little self care goes a long way. I’ve been meditating more with @headspace, watching new shows on Netflix (love that new “play something” feature), and taking healing evening walks with the cutest pup in town @rosiewalkertexasranger!

We voted!!! 🗳 (And proudly for @joebiden, @kamalaharris, @mjfortexas, and @julieolivertx!) Every election I use the League of Women Voters, @lwvaustinarea, voter’s guide (especially for down the ballot candidates) and it’s a great resource. You can find your local LWV online (lwv.org), go to vote411.org to find out what’s on your ballot, make a plan to vote, and then vote! Early voting in Texas is open until Oct 30. #VOTE (at Austin Central Library, Austin Public Library) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGa9oYuFLE-/?igshid=1pd8w3zp13k74

Happy #NationalSisterDay to this little fire bird! I helped move her out of the house on Delwood Drive this week and on to the next chapter of her life (with lots of scrubbing and tears, but also excitement and joy). May you extend your wings all the way and fly high in the clouds, kitty. https://www.instagram.com/p/CDZ09ERl4mJ/?igshid=7az81yrm0q6j

Caught the tail end of the waxing crescent moon and rainbow skies yesterday. Trying to find and sit with these quiet moments in quarantine as the days blend together. How’s everyone doing? 🌙🌈 https://www.instagram.com/p/CB39H4wlhPI/?igshid=1bt5qaiu3lwz

There’s a light at the end of the tunnel. We still have work to do, but I’m relieved at this small step from SCOTUS towards equality. 🏳️‍🌈 (at Robin Williams Tunnel) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBg_8AiFr6S/?igshid=1e9qpsq7vpdpm

May the Fourth be with you! Happy Star Wars Day! Looking back on our family trip to Disney and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge last August. It was such a blast. I can’t wait to be all together again. #MayTheForceBeWithYou (at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_yv3X5lxsK/?igshid=1ibxbskb2x5v9

Waxing Crescent Moon + Venus 🌙 Discovered the time lapse function on my phone recently. I knew it existed, but had never used it. Works pretty well just hand holding it without a tripod. (at Mueller Lake Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-XfxNelCw2/?igshid=1ioi7txfwacit

Six feet apart. 🦠 How’s everyone doing? Lindsey and I have been taking social distance walks in the park together to get outside. I miss my sister, but we do what we can. #AloneTogether 📸@erikarichphoto (also six feet apart from us) (at Mueller Lake Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-QwhlVFvpL/?igshid=gbfj79g78a82
