I first started dipping into naturalism at one of my lows, back when we were launching a birdspotting app and I wanted to help test it. I got into it immediately and combined with my daily mental health walks it really made me dive back into nature, and appreciate how healing it was to see life's good parts.
As I was already enjoying learning all kinds of stuff about fungi, I started collecting/identifying those I found in the wild as well. Because I'm not an expert I just like to catalog what I find but I don't always know their names and don't want help okay! It's for the fun of learning and exploring.
Eventually I started adding my origamis, plushies, and anything remotely animal to this page and it became one giant ode to nature's million follies.
At work we had a small competition for the birdspotting app, and the winners got lil bird plushies which I found absolutely ADORABLE but I lost 😭 so I seethed in envy for months until finally I ordered one for myself to celebrate all my progress in bird photography, and to help me emotionally since he’s been quite a great emotional support in the end with its fluffy round belly to hug
The first of my comfort plushies, gotten in a kids section at Hema. This one is really really for kids but its so soft and cute and small, and more importantly so lively!! With its little arms I love making it react and do expressions and stuff to cheer me up. It was my first travel emotional support plushie
A beautiful Shiba that loves to hug
The first “adult” plushie I got, it was looking at me cutely from a stash near the cash register, and it became the first of a neverending series of cuties that helped me stay in touch with my inner child. Of course now it’s all gross but it’s still one of the most important ones.
An emotional support plushie that carried me through many horrible times, with the perfect spot to cry in between its fluffly ears. I still take it with me on some trips when I really need a comfort hug away from home.
