Flight from PDX to FCA was rather stunning today. #mountains #PortlandOregon #PNW #Tahoma #Klickitat

Man (me) counting rings on a very large spruce tree that has been cut down.

There is no acceptable excuse for zip-tying children! None.

This shouldn’t even have to be said.

Two roses blossoms with salmon-colored petals that fade to yellow near the center.

Very likely the last blossoms for this season, early October #bloomscrolling

That pesky, grey-haired keeper of theirs sure is making a game of it. #dcfc #dcfcfans

Seems like we are playing for a draw with those changes just made

Derby bearing the brunt of over dozens fouls from him so far

Two GKs putting in the work to keep the score down, could easily be 5-4.

Agyemang comes through! #dcfc #dcfcfans 1-1

He dribbled through five Derby players who stood there and watched him!

Marching band on the field

Trombonists extraordinaire

Sitting through another high school football game just to watch this kick-ass marching band. #imwiththeband #fridaynightlights

It’s a rainy #MushroomMonday here. #pnw

Same here, near Seattle and have never been to a Sounders match, but watch every Reign match.

Agreed! I don’t watch much MLS, but can’t get enough NWSL.

Goal! That footwork by Barker was impressive #askwxm

Someone accidentally hit the reply button for a few seconds there

What a view for the match today! #askwxm

Sword fern growing up through a rusty storm drain, surrounded by mossy stone

Where there’s a fern there’s a way. #plants #nature #plantlife #pnw #fern

Large spruce tree trunk, two children can seen just at the base.

The world’s largest Sitka Spruce tree. Average size children as a comparison. #ThickTrunkTuesday
