I found this little fellow popping up in the trail while hiking over the weekend. #MushroomMonday #optoutside #photography #getoutside #pnw #scape #macro #fungi
Two small mushroom caps near a root that crosses a trail, temperate rainforest vegetation in the background.

Here’s hoping you can avoid the clutches of capitalism today and get outside. #ForestFriday #optoutside #photography #forestscape #getoutside #pnw #scape #seascape
The Pacific Ocean near Neah Bay, WA. Photo taken through sunlight trees, two sea mounts and a rocky, tree lined coast can be seen.

A waterfall classic, Christine Falls in Mount Rainier (Tahoma) National Park. Taken May of last year. #WaterfallWednesday #optoutside #pnw #getoutside #photography #nature
A stone bridge divides the frame, with a waterfall and canyon below the bridge and trees and the canyon walls above the bridge

One from my walk yesterday, noticed the ferns seem to be venerating the tree in the center.
#ForestFriday #optoutside #photography #forestscape #getoutside #pnw #scape
Temperate rainforest scene, tree in the center is surrounded by sword ferns that appear to be bowing toward it.

Hawkins has become a wall in goal for Pontypridd, hell of a showing, unfortunately. #askwxm

Mount San Jacinto State Park, taken from the tram. #RockinTuesday #nature #optoutside
Multicolored rock formation takes up most of the frame, aerial tram tower and cables can be seen at the summit, with the sun peeking from behind the top.

For #MushroomMonday, here is a lobster mushroom I found with a banana slug for scale. #optoutside #pnw #nature #sluglife
Lobster mushroom at the top of the frame, lying on a mossy rock. A banana slug crawls by at the bottom of the frame.

Happy to have Lucy Scott joining the commentary for the #MiaRobertsDerby today. How does she feel about the way @finalwhistle.bsky.social has been abusing all of us in the EPL fantasy league he lured us into? #askwxm

Path to a forgotten adventure?

Old stone stairs, covered in moss and dead leaves, leading up a hill in the forest.

#ThickTrunkTuesday with a bit of shelf #fungus for good measure.

It is disgusting that Republicans CHOSE to let SNAP benefits run out today—letting millions of kids and families go hungry for political leverage.  The courts have made it clear that USDA must fund SNAP for November.
