Hello There! Welcome. blobsmilehappyeyes

I'm George Penney, a #sff #comedy #fantasy #mystery author who writes with my lovely partner, Tony Johnson (AKA the Kraken). I also sometimes write snort laugh #books under the name Evie Snow, which are in the process of being republished. I have a couple of podcasts too.

I'm a cultural omnivore and am interested in a ridiculously wide range of topics from #history to #art to #music #science #travel #plants #animals #cats and I love anything #weird and wonderful.

Until recently, I house sat globally full-time so people who've followed me for a bit would have seen me around recording the various sagas of my (mainly) feline overlords.

Lately I have settled in a delightful small city in Aotearoa New Zealand and I frequently share bits and pieces from my wanderings out and about.

I love meeting new people, so feel free to say hi!😊 I might take a little bit to reply because I'm usually a bit behind on a writing deadline but I do my best to get back to everyone.

Jasmine in Morning Light

We were walking yesterday when we came across some Carolina jasmine (Gelsemium sempervirens), a vine with tubular yellow, five‑petaled flowers and long, narrow green leaves. They were already in bloom thanks to the warm, sunny weather. This photo shows three of the blossoms along with their surrounding leaves.

If you love flowers—or just enjoy discovering their beauty and names like I do—come explore my gallery of blooms captured in moments of wonder and curiosity.

"The photograph captures a single, arching vine of Carolina jasmine held in crisp focus against a soft, blurred backdrop. The stem is a warm reddish‑brown, slender and slightly curved, almost like a brushstroke suspended in the air. Along it, narrow, glossy green leaves reach outward in alternating directions, their surfaces catching the light with a gentle sheen.

Two bright yellow blossoms command the center of the frame. Each flower is shaped like a small trumpet opening toward the viewer, with five rounded petals forming a soft star. The petals glow with a saturated, sunlit yellow—rich, warm, and almost luminous—creating a striking contrast against the deep greens of the leaves and the muted background. The flowers appear delicate but confident, as if they’re quietly announcing spring." - Microsoft Copilot

Plant photography thread!

These are a bit older. I used to visit local botanical gardens with a camera in tow and admire all the tiny details. I tried to take photos with emphasis on color, shape and mood while just enjoying a stroll.
