dongolden.bsky.social @dongolden.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Happy fall, everyone! I found the solitary giant in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, and the twins in my front yard. It’s nice to be able to shop locally! 000 0
dongolden.bsky.social @dongolden.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Beautiful boat and beautiful scenery, one made by Cape Falcon Kayaks and the other by Mother Nature. Willapa Bay in Southwest Washington is a treasure. 040 0

dongolden.bsky.social @dongolden.bsky.social · 21/03/2026First trip up Munra point after the 2017 fire. Beautiful views and flowers, and hopefully nothing to add later regarding the copious poison oak lower down. 030 0

dongolden.bsky.social @dongolden.bsky.social · 21/12/2025Had a lovely day hiking in the Columbia Gorge after the atmospheric river passed through. Still a big fan of water going under bridges rather than over them. 070 0

dongolden.bsky.social @dongolden.bsky.social · 29/09/2025Glad to be back in a small boat on some big water. Nine miles of solo rowing, with the cutest boat and the nicest people meeting me at Tongue Point. 030 0
dongolden.bsky.social @dongolden.bsky.social · 14/09/2025It also seems like Russia would be guaranteed to lose Kaliningrad in a conflict with NATO. I’m sure no country wants that enclave of belligerents to remain on its borders. 100 0

dongolden.bsky.social @dongolden.bsky.social · 08/09/2025Orange is such a beautiful color. I hope to see this revised soon with much more shown aflame. 120 0
dongolden.bsky.social @dongolden.bsky.social · 02/09/2025Anniversary and Birthday all in one great weekend. 27 and 54, respectively, so half of my life well spent, and 20 years with our wonderful son is icing on the cake! 030 0
dongolden.bsky.social @dongolden.bsky.social · 28/08/2025I try not to be a greedy person, but I realize I’ll always want even more destruction of Russia’s economy and infrastructure and will never be satisfied until it’s all gone. 080 0

dongolden.bsky.social @dongolden.bsky.social · 20/07/2025U-paddle and pick spots are few and far between, but it sure is wonderful when you find one. Thimbleberries, native blackberries and salal all on the same bit of shoreline. 030 0
dongolden.bsky.social @dongolden.bsky.social · 05/07/2025My wife took this photo of a distressed bald eagle we rescued from drowning in 2001. I wish it would seem a little less symbolic of our nation as the years go by. 061 0

dongolden.bsky.social @dongolden.bsky.social · 14/06/2025This isn’t a day of tranquility, but the hundreds of thousands who will be out in the streets protesting today do so in order to help put our nation back on the path to peace and justice.

dongolden.bsky.social @dongolden.bsky.social · 29/05/2025Canyoneering only a few hundred feet from a much loved trail, we were treated to pristine stretches of water etched basalt with no signs of human visitation. Alas, this was in 2016, and the following year, human stupidity visited the whole area via a forest fire sparked by fireworks. 030 0
dongolden.bsky.social @dongolden.bsky.social · 25/05/2025It doesn’t have a hot tub or tinted windows, but I’m sure this Japanese Communist Party bus throws a rollicking good time. Great way to paint the town red! Seen in 2014, hopefully still partying like it’s 1989. 020 0

dongolden.bsky.social @dongolden.bsky.social · 22/05/2025There’s never a good time to break a leg, and while I didn’t pick wisely, it could always have been worse.

dongolden.bsky.social @dongolden.bsky.social · 13/05/2025It was glorious seeing some of Southern Washington’s really big trees in their full-upright position. Some were less upright and some were downright horizontal, but all impressive and beautiful to see. 030 0
