My photography account + queer art appreciation / curation. Occasionally NSFW. Focuses include landscape photography, botanical textures, the intersection of humanity and how we experience nature. Digital. Anti-AI. Will happily remove reskeets on request

A very special bloom for me - this is a 50 year old Opuntia that I rescued after my partner's grandmother was put into hospice. It's the first time he's ever seen it bloom - last year, I took cuttings off it for his family. This one is still in the original pot, but she's not making me paddles rn.
