Had to rescue our River Birch. The wild blackberries had all but buried it.
I delicately cut the thorny blackberries away to give the Birch some breathing room.
Some ubiquitous privet back there, protected by the blackberries. That’s for another day. This winter.

For the Red Vox Lasses - Roots / Road
Krystal: Night
Whitley: Formal
Renee: Canvas
Ana Leigh: Stillness
(For those of you who don't know, these are my Red Vox characters personified. They're a separate project entirely and are NOT AFFILIATED with the OCs here but I will entertain this Ask)
roots: Is your OC's look inspired by any specific style of clothing or fashion trend? What are the roots and/or inspiration for their look?
Honestly it's all the fashion I personally liked to see and inagined for the four of them. And that's mainly been taking into the themes of the album as well. For Whitley, it's the more grungy side, with her flannel shirt and rough look. Ana-Leigh is a bit more put together (also I like double denim, sue me). Krystal was probably the one with more of a metaphorical stance, with her tattered dress and her oversized hoodie that she likes to retreat into. And Renée invoking the wistfulness and somewhat cozy aspects from the album in hers.
road: What does your OC wear while traveling? Do they have high-quality equipment, or are they making do? What does their gear look like?
This one is good cuz the story they do share is centered on a roadtrip. All of them wear the same kinda clothes. Only Whitley and Renée actually brought a change of clothes for themselves, whereas Ana-Leigh and Krystal just have the clothes on their back.
night: What does your OC wear to sleep? Do they have a favorite pair of PJs, or are they more the birthday suit type?
Krystal absolutely isn't the type to go nakey for bed. Back home she would wear full pyjamas deal or a ankle-length nightgown.
formal: What's your OC's formal look? Do they like dressing up? Do they have different looks for different occasions?
Whitley is not exactly the formal type either. The most formal she has gotten was wearing her "uniform" for her job as a bartender.
canvas: Does your OC have any scars, piercings, tattoos, or other markings? Do they display or cover them up at all?
Renée, ofc, has her two ears pierced with her pearl earrings. However she also has a tattoo on the side of her body. It's of a tree in different seasons (a reference to a lyric from Far Away)
stillness: How does your OC act while still? Are they fidgety? Do they have any common gestures or tics? Does their clothing affect how they hold themselves while at rest?
Ana-Leigh is the guitarist, I feel it goes hand-in-hand that if she doesn't have her guitar, she'd be more fidgety. Anything to mimic her playing the guitar or tapping to the melody.
