Took this pic on a walk last month and finally got around to figuring out what this plant is called - Pacific Coralroot.

Beach art. Siletz Bay Park.

First water lilies of the season! ❤️

Rented a house on a river near the ocean and this guy came to visit almost every day.

Today's walk on the Pacific Crest Trail.

Boiler Bay - where the little waterfall meets the beach.

Spent a few days on the Oregon coast. Saw this at Ona St Beach Park outside of Newport.

Came upon this wild Oregon iris on my walk. ❤️

5/17/2026 Honolulu, Hawaii. Need to find out if this kind of lotus will survive here in the PNW.

Today's walk - a bit of wild rhododendron flowers. Hopefully it's a start to a good rhodie season.

This is the lowest rainbow I've ever seen.

Today's walk along the Sandy River.

Was driving through the redwoods and saw these guys on the side of the road. Brings to mind that Johnathan Edward's song: Cause we're gonna lay around the shanty, mama And put a good buzz on 😂

Hanging out in the redwoods.

Today's walk Part 2. Calypso orchids (aka fairy slippers) are out! Seems a bit early this year but glad to see them.

Today's walk Part 1. Mt Hood peaking out.

Today's walk (before the No Kings protest of course). Nice to see trillium blooming again.

Little Zig Zag creek.

Lower Salmon River.

Today's walk. We had a pretty warm, mild winter here in the PNW and flowers started blooming pretty early. So of course it snowed today...

A recent walk in Old Maids Flat. The entrance is blocked off during the winter so we did a little road rambling towards Mt Hood.

Beautiful Sulivan's Island in Charleston, South Carolina during a sunset. 02/2026. Enjoy a safe & peaceful day/evening, my Friends! #Scape #Sunsets #BeachScape #Cloudscape #Photography #ArtInNature

These were a couple of ugly maple tree stumps till I found this guy who chainsaws stumps into shrooms. 😊

Today's walk. Little Joe Creek.

5 years ago today we brought our little girl home. She's our valentine's day dog and our daily dose of love and joy. Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Hope you get to spend it with those you love.

Oregon coastline from Cape Meares.

This is the Octopus Tree located at Cape Meares in Oregon. It's a Sitka Spruce without a central trunk with huge limbs extending from the base. It's 105 feet tall and estimated to be 250 - 300 years old. It's worth seeing if you're in the area!

Cloudy Bluesky at Netarts Bay, Oregon.

Today's walk. Icicles at the mouth of a newly formed creek, emptying into the Sandy River.

Tonight’s sunset

Wahkeena Falls in the Columbia River Gorge. Stop for lunch at Brigham Fish Market in Cascade Locks. 😋

Today's walk. This is in a cute little park just a couple minutes from our house.

Today's frosty walk. We had some recent flooding in our area after a couple of atmospheric river events. The grassy blobs in the branches show how high the river got there.

3 years ago today. She chased her first crush all around the beach.

Well Christmas has come and gone and it's safe to say she enjoyed her Christmas very much.

Today's Christmas walk. There is a very small bluesky "eye" on the left hand side. Good to see a bit of blue sky. Hope everyone is having a very wonderful Christmas today.

Got through our second atmospheric river system and 2 long power outages. Remembering the better weather we had when we were recently in Yachats. Here's a pic from the second night with the sun just starting to set with a sundog to the right.

We lucked out between atmospheric river storms and had great weather on the Oregon coast. This is the mouth of the Yachats river and a sunset pic from our first night there.

Thought this translucent frosty leaf was pretty.

Today's atmospheric river walk.

One more Netarts Bay sunset pic from 2024.

One year ago today. Netarts Bay, Oregon.

Today's floofy butt walk with her bestie.
