in the barn
the swallows
quiet down

Damn Right

When cold air crashes
against my body, I wish
it was your warm touch

My blanket and coffee on the porch right now ☕️

writing on the porch
drizzle hanging in the air,
warm coffee in lap -

mind and season both embrace
october's eternal #dusk

Trying to embrace the natural rhythm of the season ✨️ 🍃 🍂

Visited one of my favorite viewpoints. Did a little witchcraft to honor the changing season. Seemed to work….feeling stronger.

My pretty healed scars
tactile echoes of the past
pain, finally passed

My old dog Griff likes his lattes too

River flows by me
Salmon journey from the sea
Where ends my journey?

Older haiku from one of my notebooks:
11/18/12
Coopers hawk through woods
with a raven on its tail
ancient rivalry

One of my favorite things to do....ever. Any maybe pick some mushrooms. Cheers

As threatened here is the creek side soundtrack for previous photos to set the context. Cheers

A beautifully large yew tree. Beazell Forest, outside of Corvallis Or. and the surrounding forest. Sound track in following post.

Good morning. Mist on the Willamette River.

The free flowing Elwha River
Changing seasons
Returning salmon
Death and rebirth

Hood Canal after a rain

Home doing chores so a picture from my “office “ last week. Happy Friday everyone.

I've heard that term used...also "camp robbers"

Gray jays chowing down...Olympic Peninsula WA

My Grandfather would sit my aunt Dorothy on this rock in the 1940s when she was a little girl. She would fish off the rock while he fished upstream. I got to sit on the rock the other day and meditate on that...it was good. Thank you.

Here's the real sexy part of being a field archaeologist...Monitoring a utility trench and finding an old buried concrete tank or vault from WWII military operations filled with who knows what...But the view sure was nice...

I saw my first Makah Copper butterfly this week...

My work week: I was honored to be a tribal consultant working with tribal and NPS scientists to begin planning restoration of an important indigenous ecosystem on the WA Coast. A "prairie bog complex" that has gone unmanaged for nearly a century. We hope to reintroduce fire and humans into the mix.

Looking back at my time as an Olympic National Park archaeologist...this was a dream project...tearing down salmon blocking dams and renewing tribal use of their river...The Elwha

Streamside therapy with my dog...Oregon Coast Range

This pic came up in my "memories" and I like it... Deep in the Olympic Backcountry a few years back...I wonder how big that little silver fir is by now....

One of my Happy Places....
