Hell yeah, a band of coyotes

A Sea of Ferns On my walk through the forest, I saw ferns everywhere. They were layered deep into the trees. I love the colors and patterns of ferns. That green gets me every time. I had to slow down and take it all in. Which frame in this set would you step into first? #pnw

This spot sits just above the equilibrium line, where accumulation and melt balance out. When that line moves up, the glacier loses more than it gains. GRL puts the rise at 170m since the Little Ice Age. Trinity Basin, Alaska Range. #glacier #climateChange #alaska

Mexican gray wolves are rebounding 🐺🐾 Last year the number of endangered Mexican gray wolves in the Southwest grew by 33 bringing the wild population up to 319 individuals. This is an amazing feat considering just three decades ago there were zero roaming the wild! Read on ➡️ bit.ly/4sj9xmx

We are living in a new era of food: Steaks made from PLANTS! 🥩🌱🔥 The reasons to continue eating #meat are decreasing by the minute. 🤯

Logging off for today but, to counterbalance plugging my own work, I wanted to, as a sign-off, start a thread here where people can recommend pieces of non-corporate writing (& music & all other art!) from others they've especially enjoyed recently. Looking forward to seeing the replies tomorrow...

The Coastal Plain is a 1.56-million-acre national treasure — sacred ground where the Porcupine caribou herd gives birth, migratory birds flock from all around the globe, and polar bears build their dens. The Trump administration wants to drill there. We can't let that happen ➡️ bit.ly/3MyKNYb

Some more photos from Baja - on our last day Joe El Adli and I fit in some snorkeling on the tail end of our #whaleontology expedition to see whale sharks (Rhincodon typus). It was nothing short of life changing. This one was about 8-9 meters - medium sized! More photos coming soon! 🤿🦑

Unclench your jaw. Drink some water or have a nice soothing cup of tea. Listen to that audiobook you wanted to finish. Curl up with your pet and tell them how much you love them as you give them cuddles. Make it a habit to find ways to treat yourself kindly in spite of a world that refuses to.

These dogs are having the time of their lives following this week's historic blizzard in the Northeast. Please enjoy. 14/10 for all

When I click on a profile, the scroll is weird now. If the "about" fills my phone screen, it makes it difficult scrolling through their posts.

A feeling of two worlds joining forces 📷🕊️ ….

This photograph by Sekine’s Motoharu captures a rare atmospheric phenomenon occurring directly above the snow-dusted peak of Mt. Fuji. A massive, multi-layered pileus cloud—often referred to as a "cap cloud"—hovers over the summit, exhibiting vivid iridescence.

Snowline Beneath a Textured Blue Sky Those rippled clouds across the blue sky caught my eye. They created a beautiful contrast against the ridge line below. Days like this are why I love being up in the mountains. #pnw

Cookies

Today is my son's 5th angelversary. I re-did his planter with new soil and succulents, lit candles and dusted and rearranged his memorial table, and will be making oatmeal cookies for the farm workers next. It helps to keep my hands busy on the days #grief hits a little harder.

Studies show some of the highest densities of plastic pollution are in mangrove ecosystems compared to other coastal environments. While this protects the ocean, plastic smothers roots and harms biodiversity, making coastal cleanup critical. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #MangroveMonday #CoastalCleanup

Good morning Bluesky! A bit late in posting.

Here are two scanned photos from the mid 1990s. The top view is intriguing because the mushroom is almost perfectly round. #photography #fungi #film

In Daoist ritual, the Three Officials Handwritten Documents (三官手書) turn repentance into a physical act of healing. The afflicted person writes their name and confession three times, each sheet sent to a different realm. One is carried to a mountain altar for the Heavenly Official, 1/3
