cuddle bugs

I never pay attention to politics at all but that scary Russian disinformation post gave me the spook... so here are my comfort creatures in case anyone else needs to see them and take a moment to breathe

So that this won't turn entirely into a porn blog, here's some stuff about model railroad trees from last year. I've been using the wooden bits of grape... clusters? Or whatever they're called in English? as trunks (as well as other small sticks), and dyed lichen or your regular green moss as the foliage. (Plus in the last photo there are two ready-made trees, which stand out thanks to the different texture).
