Strange wednesday ebb

I have a feeling of impending doom and not sure why.


I feel like I'm walking on eggshells around myself. I'm waiting for some unknown disaster to fall in my lap and explode everywhere.


I am angry with myself and don't know why.


Today i feel tangled up in sticky thread.

February

I'm scared of February.

Wunderkammer







Wunderkammer translates to cabinet of curiosities.






The wunderkammer was an early way of ordering and cataloguing objects and artifacts prior to, and during the renaissance period.



Perhaps one of the goals of collecting in this manner was a form of controlling nature, as the collections are housed in rigid, square, clinical spaces.

Sunfish

This is a Mola-Mola also known as a Sunfish.

There used to be a taxidermied one at the Dunediun museum and was my favorite thing there.
When I went back a few years ago, the Sunfish had gone.

KODAMA







The Kodama are a japanese tree spirit that live in particular types of trees/flora. They act as guardians to these trees and to the forest areas in which the they grow.






Cutting down a tree that houses Kodama will bring bad luck.
