#BeachGrass
While approximately 45% of Oregon’s coastline is flat, the amount of dunes have been receding by about 5 feet per year due to invasive plants and the nitrogen they add to the soil. First beachgrass thrives, and then shrubs, willows and wetlands take hold; finally forests of Shore Pines grow.

Pro tip: Just imagine that the snow is sand and the ice is water

The free beachgrass is for people who own beach front property and will be handed out in February.
Ocean City handing out free beachgrass plugs to help protect dunes
The plugs come at no cost to those who apply, but those who apply need to plant the grasses. It's recommended that planting happen when you pick up the beachgrass, within a few days at the latest.

This was before the last snowstorm, but they're still visiting in snow too- they just dig them up with their beaks.

Anywho, an unexpected benefit of leaving the acorns!

This is wonderful! I love sea glass. I have a jar of it. Yesterday I wrote about beachgrass. Winter makes me miss the ocean, this haiku soothes me. 🌊🐚🌾✨️✍️

“The calming movement of the sea along with the restless ocean breeze gently caresses me creating a soothing trance which lulls me to a place of peace.” - M.L. Borges

…have a moment peace before the chaos of Thanksgiving.

A massive bipedal mechanical frame stands across a dune or beach, its long legs and flat gunnery platform framed against lilac and cream clouds. The sands are dotted with dark, round bushes or growths of beachgrass, seemingly cutting islets through the pearly sand.
Time to actually start using this account and migrating some art over. Here's one of a small series of Mundane Mechs from a little while back.

Took the lad up to the beachfront park in Wilmette today. Chilly and windy, but a perfect brisk fall day... November af.

“Today’s poem offers us images we often find in poetry: the ocean, the moon, dreams, a mother, a wound ... in such a profoundly original and moving way," host @maggiesmithpoet.bsky.social shares in today’s episode.

Laysan Finch | ʻEkupuʻu | Telespiza cantans

Small and notably curious species of Hawaiian honeycreeper with a heavy bill found on the island Laysan. As a generalist, they'll eat whatever they can find - fruit, insects, seeds, and even eggs of other birds.

It's perfect olfactory politics. Who wants tobacco soap? A guy who wants the glamour of smoking without actually lighting up. The same kind of guy wants a milder fragrance for his female counterpoint, a scent his own can overpower and dominate (no way Waterlily Beachgrass is as strong as a Man Bar)
Who do they think is going to be buying their "Bitch Bar"? Men who want to start a fight with their partner for no reason?

Also, who wants soap that's tobacco fragrance?
Yeah.. their intent is clear.
