Sit here with me for a moment 🏞️ May the river wash through our weary hearts, let us feel the mountains' quiet strength in its timeless flow. Take care, friends 🫶 #PNW #MobilePhotography #Nature #Hiking #Photography

Wildflowers in bloom lead A trail unfolds and follow Mountains and sky, watch #RedWed #ColorADay #PNW #Hiking #MobilePhotography Common Red Paintbrush were in bloom, oh my SO vivid 😍

Ascending Marmot Pass, diving into the fog—fluid, soft, and embracing. My heart trembled. Take care, friends 🤝 #OlympicNationalForest #Hiking #PNW #publicland #Mobilephotography

I'll be offline for a bit; venturing into the #PNW wilderness: into the fogs, soft drizzle, and endless greens. Looking forward to capturing some beauty to share when I get back. Take care, friends. See you next week🌲

A fawn lily bows to the earth. Each dewdrop holds a story of the night that just passed. The sky might have shed its tears a bit... Take care, friends 🤝 #PNW #WildFlowers #fawnlily #mobilephotography

Rushing down the mountainside, the stream murmurs, sings, whispers. The ferns lean in to listen, and the salmon berry blossoms nod. The season flows, and the world follows— #PNW #wildflowers #hiking #mobilephotography #nature

Fairy Slipper orchid in bloom😍 They get energy from the light & team up with a particular fungus to grow. Tiny yet mighty, as long as we don't mess with them. Let us dream that forest fairies slip their tiny feet into these delights...🧚 Take care, friends 🤝🌿 #PNW #Wildflowers #ForestFriday #nature

A trillium unfurls beneath an ancient tree. Its delicate petals echo the quiet strength of the forest that cradles it. 🌿 Ah, this small pocket of serenity... Take care, everyone 🤝 #mobilephotography #nature #PNW #bloomscrolling #wildflowers

Ah, crabapples are blooming. I hope these pink clusters add gentle color to your timeline 🌸✨🌿 #Bloomscrolling Take care, everyone 🤝

Splashdown Confirmed! Announced as "Four green crew members," which means "all four astronauts on board were in good health" Phew 😍🌿 Welcome home!

Safe travels home, #Artemis crew! 🫶💙 Live stream: #NASA channel of the #Artemis re-entry and splashdown 👇 www.youtube.com/live/nfhDuOH...

At the edge of the trail, a fawn lily blooms, steadfast between two worlds. Nodding in the morning breeze— Take care, friends 🤍 #ForestFriday #mobilephotography #flowers #wildflowers #bloomscrolling

Jewel-toned tree swallows chirp and slice the sky, their blue-green backs glittering with iridescence. At the wood's edge, wild cherry blossoms stretch up their branches, welcoming returning travelers. Welcome back, spring. 🌸🌿

The night saw four humans journey toward the moon. Their excitement and anticipation rippled through the water like a gentle assurance, heralding the splashdown to come. Wishing them a safe passage, and warmth to you all.💙

Growing where nothing should grow. Staying gentle when everything around it is hard and harsh. Maybe that's what strength really is. Take care, friends 🤝💜 #wildflowers #bloomscroll #mobilephotography

Not my normal post, but: Let's be safe on the Sat protest. We do this for the unable and the vulnerable too (If I were still a permit holder, I'd have feared since the immigration system is complex & easily risks being revoked) There's a virtual rally, too! www.standupforscience.net/sufs-nk3 🐸🦄🐧🦖🤝🫶

A Sakura tree, pushing through concrete-hardened ground to touch the sky between towering buildings; its limbs, weathered and stained by exhaust fumes, gnarled as though holding back tears in their wounds; yet it bursts into blooms, adorning the very city that suffocates it. Take care, friends 🫶

Sunset looks extra gentle when the weight of the world feels particularly heavy. Take care, friends 🤝🫶 #PinkMonday #Sunset

A spring snow touched through a forest, dissolving into mist, swirling around the trees until the clouds drew it home. In this quiet dance, winter and spring shared their stories with the enduring trees. Happy #InternationalDayOfForests! Ah, the lungs of the Earth 🌲💙🌳❄️ Take care, friends 🤝🫶

Tiny blue dreams, clustered and swelling in the afternoon sun. Wishing you a weekend as soft and hopeful as these little Muscari blooms 💙🌱 #Wildflowers #Bloomscrolling #MobilePhotography

A memory: Travelling through Munich's alleyways. I could hear the soft clink of silver and murmured voices drifting through the green leaves, joined by rustling vines. Getting ready to welcome guests in a quiet bustle 🌿 #WallsOnWednesday #WindowsOnWednesday #Travel

From @earthskyscience.bsky.social "Forecasters expect it to arrive on March 19. #Aurora-watchers, get ready!" 👉 earthsky.org/sun/sun-news...

Loons' haunting yodels echoed across the water. "Where are you?" from somewhere beyond the mist, and "I'm over here," comes the reply, traveling across the glassy surface. Back and forth they went... A call that sounded like a question asked and answered in the same breath. Take care, friends 🤝🫶

After a long journey from the south, this rufous hummingbird chose the last patch of snow as his lookout post. Welcome back, birdie! 😍

Much-needed snow ❄️ A bit of snow dusted my tiny plant nursery this morning. The hardy ornamentals and early daffodils are weathering the surprise just fine. Take care, friends 🤝🫶

My go-to quick side dish is this Mediterranean veggie bake. I love the savory, nutty bliss of slightly charred broccoli cooked in a cast-iron pan. From tofu to salmon to turkey, it's great with almost anything. It's easy and tasty 😋

May the mighty waterfall—its thundering torrent revitalize our weary souls. Rocky Brook Falls, WA. #waterfall #PNW #nature #timelinecleanse

A newly discovered comet could be visible if... ☄️ "Should Comet MAPS survive its close brush with the sun on April 4, it might briefly become a conspicuous object in the western twilight sky between April 8 and April 14. Use Venus to help guide you to the comet." www.space.com/astronomy/co...

In a world that offers no reprieve, I hope these quiet ripples find you. May the steady flow soothe our weary souls, even for just a moment. Tale care, friends 🙏❤️‍🩹🤝

The tiny bloom sparkles in the gentle rain, welcoming hummingbirds and nectar-lovers. Osoberry opens early, like a well-lit breakfast diner at dawn. 🌿🌼 #NatureLovers #Wildflowers #PNW #MobilePhotography

Overnight on March 2-3, a total lunar #eclipse of the full Worm Moon will sweep across northwest North America, the Pacific Ocean and Japan, and parts of Australia, Southeast Asia, China, India, and Russia. Charts and info here: buff.ly/1v665Di Or watch a video: buff.ly/MQALVUd

Excited to share this with you all and celebrate a friend in Australia, Nicholas Kemp & his book, A Year of Ikigai. 👍💙 Nick has spent decades studying the concept beyond stereotypes. Honored to have contributed to his work, however tiny, and proud to support a friend who has sought deeper meaning 😆

Morning dews glimmer on the ruby buds 🌿✨ These red-flowering currants lay out nectar-rich stations along the Hummingbird Highway 😍 So... we'll get those feisty Rufous Hummingbirds returning from Mexico, very soon! (or I just missed one!) Take care, friends 🌼 #PNW #Wildflowers #MobilePhotography

The tradition of 1,000 origami cranes symbolizes peace and hope, rooted in Sadako's wish to recover from the Hiroshima bombing. After her passing at 12, her classmates completed them. This humble act—intertwines tears, sorrow, and a deep yearning for peace—became a tradition. Today, I folded one🕊️

🍀! Hope sprouted, looking a little weary after breaking through the heavy and cold ground. Go, little clover, grow, grow! 💪 (Yes, I speak to random plants)🥰 #FourLeafClover

The lunar eclipse is coming. Wishing you clear skies on March 3rd! 🌑 👉 "In the early hours of March 3, sky watchers across the Americas, east Asia and Oceania will witness a blood moon total lunar eclipse." www.space.com/stargazing/l...

A memory: Early morning calm in the courtyard of Raffles Hotel Singapore. I learned that the hotel started as a bungalow in 1887, and later became a literary hub. I enjoyed imagining Somerset Maugham chatting with fellow writers🫖📝 The courtyard was open to the public 🤍 #Travel #PalacesAndGardens

A thin, high, almost delicate call drifted through the grey morning air. There it was, a bald eagle on a tall, sleepy cottonwood tree. From a distance, it looked like a symbol carved out of myth. 🦅 ...ah 😍 #PNW #mobilephotography

It's not my normal post, but for friends flying out (in the U.S): Despite the previous announcement that TSA PreCheck & Global Entry would shut down, TSA PreCheck remains operational at this time (=chaotic) Safe travels! Those in the blizzard warning area, stay safe🙏 www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

A memory of visiting Waipiʻo Valley on the Big Island of Hawaii. I stood where land leans into the ocean, and water tells its stories. It felt like a shared language between island and tide, carrying ancient memories for generations… and, for a moment, carried me too. #WaterfallWednesday #Hawaii

"Even in the darkest times, one has the right to hope for some light." -- Hannah Arendt, Men in Dark Times Take care, friends 🤝 #Stunday #Sunrise #PNW #Mobilephotography

Layers of leaves, small lives drawing close, quiet motion weaving a tapestry of shared breath. It's a photo from my life in American Samoa, and a fond memory that still lingers. 💕❇️ #ColorADay #GreenSat #SmallBirdSaturday

The view is taken from the bell tower of St. Peter's Church ( Alter Peter), a few years back in September. There were 300+ steps up to the viewing platform. Arriving out of breath, but still had breath left to be blown away by the view! #MobilePhotography #Photography #UrbanGaze

May we find respite in the Pacific blue, where the trade winds whisper something just beyond our grasp, carrying stories of timeless journeys. A photo taken at Ka Lae (South Point) on the Big Island of Hawaii. Take care, friends 🫶 #ColorADay #BlueTue #PacificOcean #MobilePhotography

v1.116 is rolling out now! For all the overthinkers and perfectionists out there, we're launching Drafts.

The road to the top of Mount Walker is still closed to cars for the winter, so hikers enjoy strolling down the winding road without fear/scaring the cars, making a nice loop trail. Washington state is aptly nicknamed the Evergreen State 🌲😊 Have a wonderful weekend, everyone 🌲💙 #ForestFriday #PNW

Crashing and roaring, voices echo far and wide, Through valleys and over hills, Once tiny drips of snowmelt, now a thunderous tide Yet in each drop that catches the sun, Lives a story of snowflakes turned to lights #WaterfallWednesday A memory photo from visiting Yellowstone National Park 🏞️
