My book Drystone – A Life Rebuilt is out in just three weeks.

I really believe in this book. It’s honest about important things, quietly subversive, funny, easy to read, and I’ve poured everything into writing it and getting it into the world as far as I can.

If you can, I’d love your help. A share, a preorder, a message to someone who might love it, it all makes a difference.

Info and links below.

Black and white photo of a woman sitting on a drystone wall in the hills, eyes closed and smiling gently. She wears a dark jumper and jeans, with wild grass and rough stone all around. The light is soft, and the mood is peaceful and quietly powerful. Photo by Christie Hemm Klok

My favourite part of this interview? Hmmm...maybe this?

Vikander: What did you learn about craft while writing this, your first book?

De Garis: Craft is a conversation with your materials. It can’t be hurried. It requires attention, patience, and humility. Writing also taught me that craft resists capitalism—not just in theory but in practice. Eighteen months of work for £1250 made that point clearer than any philosophical argument.

Interview About My Upcoming Book 'Drystone - A Life Rebuilt'

I wanted to share with you a conversation that I had with journalist, therapist, broadcaster and editor extraordinaire Svea Vikander. I know Svea well and, like all of us, I am most compelling on any subject when I am comfortable.

People seem to enjoy these, so here's another photo of a winter sunrise near Arrochar, with the Cobbler in the background.

Edinburgh bans advertising for climate altering industries: transportation is key—airlines, SUV and Cruise ships. All treat fossil fuels like gifts of the gods, with no consequences in chemistry, physics or environmental science laws of the universe. forbes.com/sites/davidrvetter/… #cruiseships #airlines #SUV #edinburgh #Scotland

This Scottish City Just Banned SUV And Airline Ads. Here’s Why

Advertisements for flights, gas-guzzling SUVS and cruises will no longer be permitted under a city ruling described as "historic" by campaigners.

Proposal.

We continue to call trees trees, but when they're really tall we indicate that linguistically by elongating the word.

Here, for example, we have a very splendid treeeeeeeeeeeeee.

(this might be a sign for me to step away from the computer for a while, later lovelies!)

A really tall photo of a really tall tree. At the bottom you can see the thick trunk splitting into large roots. Its patterned trunk tapers up in front of lush light green trees to its own leaves, a long way up against a blue sky.

Firstly, I'd just like to say thank you to all the people who have liked, boosted and commented on my images, and to all the new followers I have. It's rather humbling. 😊

Today's shot comes from a magical day in the Scottish #Highlands, a few years ago, when I was photographing red squirrels.

These charming characters are incredibly agile and can jump great distances between trees.

Here I managed to capture one as it appears to be flying down my lens.
