smells bad - tastes worse!

Well hello to you too...

Things grow on top of other things in the rainforest, but this giant fallen fir stood out to me. Guessing the trees it's hosting are around 50 years old? Just made me wonder how old this monster was when it toppled. The Hoh Valley has some truly ancient trees, that's for sure. Y'all should check it out.

Scenes from yesterday's wanderings 👍

Trying this one out here first, just to see how it looks on the app. Hanging moss in the Quinault Rainforest 🌲

They're just cute!

But it's interesting to reflect back - seeing myself at 21, and then we over a quarter of a century later is weird. I don't appear in many pictures (was always behind the lens), so I'm glad these exist, though more for the memory of my friends and the fun times we had together. Rest in peace, Jef. The pain will no longer need to be endured, and your music will live on. ✨

Yay, spring! The yard is definitely waking up, and the lilacs smell sooo nice. 👍

It's trillium time in the forest!

They be tiny! Little shrooms on a stump, because that's how life rolls.

Saturday side-trip to a park I hadn't visited since I was 12!
