Dŵr Cymru’s tactic of trying to get everyone to stick to the paths has really paid off. The verges are full of wildflowers, bees, butterflies and dragonflies of all sizes #nature #GetOutside

Beautiful up there again today but the lower reservoir is virtually empty and the higher one is the lowest I’ve seen it #drought

Yesterday was my first World Sjogren's Day since getting diagnosed. It has been over 8 years since I went to my doctor about postpartum symptoms that wouldn't go away and they asked "Have you tried looking it up online?" I was very much on my own until my doctor left the practice and I got assigned a nurse practitioner who took me seriously. Most of my symptoms were related to histamine responses to scented products. To get into see an environmental allergy specialist, I had to be screened for autoimmune diseases. It took about two years from the blood tests to the biopsy that confirmed Sjogren's. Now I am being monitored for systemic involvement and other autoimmune diseases. I eventually got into the environmental allergies clinic and got diagnosed with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. More diagnostic adventures await as we figure out what's going on with my mast cells. The good thing is that while there's no cure for Sjogren's or MCS, I am doing all of the things I can (My doctor says I am the perfect patient who goes above and beyond!). The main guidance - "Don't get sick!" so I mask up around others. Ironically, Sjogren's prescribes low impact exercise and MCS high impact so training 80-20 for ultra marathons is a perfect fit. Running is my medicine!

Good news - I'm still alive and have a ton of beautiful photos to share from before father's day. Bad news - I don't really have anything more new to share from since then. Excited to share some more from spring, though, and hopefully start shooting again soon 🫶🏼

Yesterday was rough. Spent most of the day out and about with The Retriever including a gentle hike at Headwaters. Get mixed feelings looking simultaneously at the ghostly stumps of the logged old growth trees within nature's valiant efforts to grow the forest back. But I do feel better today. I think the forest therapy worked.

A beautiful day for sailing today! Took advantage of an unusual wind direction which followed yesterday’s storms and allowed us to go in a straight line to the mainland harbor which we are now moored in (no upwind maneuvering today!). Relaxing on the boat now, reflecting on the memories from this trip. Tomorrow we head to home port. (Left pic— view from top of boat; right pic— view from helm). #sailing #ocean #boating
