Spores that bring life. The Pacific Northwests iconic Bracken Fern in late summer. Spores or sori assemble, ready to spread on the wind.

In the blink of an eye. A favorite neighborhood #magnolia tree that I await every year for its magical beauty. In a period of 48 hours, the #blossom opens, buzzing bees descend, and then thats it

"If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere."- Vincent Van Gogh

In late spring, blooms aren't just in the forest but in our neighborhoods. I am grateful for others who tend their yards and create #joy as I take my daily walks.

I go hike in Southwest Washington.

Yesterday was National Trails Day. Who was I to argue? Twist my arm... I just had to go to my happy place. And so did quite a few other happy, well-adjusted people with smiles on their faces.

"green leaves, foreshadow, of sword-like regalia… lily buds unsheathed - dainty pastels of yellow, purple, pink and lavender". Kim Rodrigues

On the #forest trail, I passed pond turtles and croaking bullfrogs. I picked some sweet #salmonberries and popped them in my mouth. Looking skyward and down at the new field #daisies, the essence of this day had a sense of #spring winding down and early #summer settlling in.

Thank you Linda🙌

Always look up, I say. It brings perspective

"Am made to feel that I am now in a strange land. I know hardly any of the plants, but few of the birds, and I am unable to see the country for the solemn, dark, mysterious #cypress #woods which cover everything."- John Muir

I wandered. Amazed.

Drippy light rain added to the ambience in the #forest this afternoon. #Frogs croaked, raptors soared. The salmonberries are ripening, and I found a brand new plant, the Columbia Windflower. I am fully restored and ready to seize the work week ahead.

The forest is blanketed by the greenest ferns and moss and bonsai-like trees, a wild majesty that beckons hobbits and pixies and elves and dreamers.”— Shannon M Mullen

The #forest continued its march into #spring this weekend, offering up the last of the elusive #Trillium, emergence of the vibrant False Solomon Seal, and #beauty of the Little Robin geranium. The vine and big leaf #maple has created its soothing mid-level story under the tall #trees.
