Bloom time! It’s always exciting when our Queen of the Night graces us with an annual bloom for one night only. #epiphyllumoxypetalum #queenofthenight https://www.instagram.com/p/CTJMq88r8Vy/?utm_medium=tumblr

Dang.. I was totally sleeping on New Mexico... @shabyt and I had an amazing week exploring southern New Mexico and I’d definitely recommend people take a chance and visit if you can! Great combos of breathtaking (and quirky) sights and disarmingly friendly people. Enjoy the photo dump and shoutout to @nomad_in_nm for being our guide! #visitnewmexico #newmexicotrue (at New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPzAq_LhWxC/?utm_medium=tumblr

First garden blooms for the year. Well, technically the second since Tulip the pup ran through the garden and smashed the fist couple 😆 It was our first time planting hyacinths and we didn’t really know what to expect. All in all a pretty good experience! Need to work on how to space them out on our next round though. On a side note.. am I the only one who misses the frames on filters 😫? #spring #hyacinth #springbulbs #gardening https://www.instagram.com/p/CNifTIFBKfm/?igshid=1ip5eutcwuup1

Amaryllis three ways. We discovered waxed amaryllis this year and thought we’d try one out to see what they’re like. Very interesting stuff! Idk if we’d get another one in the future I do kinda miss the insanely long stems and variety of a potted one but the ease of care and not needing to stabilize a long stem is pretty nice so never say never I guess lol 🤷🏾‍♂️ The blooms were catching the light nicely an I couldn’t resist taking a couple of shots. amaryllis #waxedamaryllis #flowers https://www.instagram.com/p/CJaO_zPBP_X/?igshid=16r4wo4plevab

Merry Christmas everyone!! We’ve been collecting Christmas ornaments from wherever we travel and normally would put them on the tree but given that it’s 2020 we switched up our tree decorations this year but still wanted these to be a part of Christmas somehow. Here’s 10 years of ornaments from around the world - @shabyt ‘s favorite is a little crab cage from St. Michael’s and I’m partial to the Calavera mariachi dude from New Mexico, among others. Each of these carries a fun and happy memory and I hope that through the craziness of this year you can look back at fun memories of your holidays and travels past. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and happiest holidays wherever you are! #christmas2020 #ornaments #holidayseason #memories https://www.instagram.com/p/CJN2MQghEE9/?igshid=1org69gfuoasx

The last of our unposted pics from Spain is from The Alhambra in Granada. One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen, when visiting definite do a combo of the night tour and day tour to really see how amazing it is. Enjoy! #superlatergram #granada #spain #alhambra (at Granada, Spain) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF1tf4EBUGI/?igshid=1rvfgkjxl4i9l

Found a whole bunch of pics from our Spain trip last year that I never posted.. enjoy! I’m too lazy rn to properly list the pics out but these were all from Cordoba which was beautiful and also sweltering hot. #superlatergram #cordoba #spain (at Córdoba, Spain) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFncWRDhZ60/?igshid=cqxot6p8t4mt

My green thumb seems to end with air plants.. here’s to hoping I can keep this batch alive 🙏🏽. Also, if anyone knows a good way to keep these rascals secure on a wire frame.. I’m all ears! 😄🌱💧🥀🤷🏾‍♂️ #airplants #tillandsia https://www.instagram.com/p/CFSP49FBd7N/?igshid=n382qm5hjotb

Our Queen of the Night (Epiphyllum Oxypetallum) finally bloomed after a two year hiatus! This plant usually blooms only for one night once a year and the flower will wilt before the sun rises. It’s been a crazy and rough year for everyone and maybe what the universe is trying to say is that wonderful things can blossom with the right amount of patience and tenacity. Cheers to a new year of hope and possibility ahead! #queenofthenight #epiphyllumoxypetalum #plants #flowers https://www.instagram.com/p/CEF_Q-vBiEz/?igshid=12iphu55qn4xa

Messing around with #Photofox today and applied some effects to a pic from 2017 that I took of Antonin Mercie’s Jeanne d’Arc. Came out pretty neat! It’s still one of my favorite busts (and probably works of art in general) and just thinking of it makes me want to go back to the Art Institute in Chicago. #antoninmercié https://www.instagram.com/p/B_ojeAZBZeU/?igshid=12ebv98epfzws
