These little Lego knights are keeping me company at work. I will soon have 3,000 of them. I can’t control myself.

These chicken-of-the-woods #mushrooms were so healthy and happy and the BRIGHTEsT orange/yellow I’ve ever seen in the forest. I did not alter this photo: they were #glowing.

The #forest floor is rich with life. Tiny kingdoms of incredible diversity. Look at this little green patch below on the hike today #Fight to protect it! Invasive species, habitat destruction, and climate change are triple threats. Many forests will not survive. Fight to preserve the forest.

The #WoodAster wildflower has this natural bicolor centers. Yellow and rose/magenta— very sweet and pretty and everywhere in the New York forests. Reminds me of an old crochet pattern somehow? Ideas for you thread people perhaps. 🌸🧵

Lately many of the drink #straws I’m seeing are made from agave fiber… #biodegradable. This makes me very happy. Even Dunkin’ Donuts uses them now. That’s massive. Thank you #Dunkin! Best of all… they don’t taste like paper in your mouth.

Also on the trail today, a visit to the #StoneHouse. A friendly witch lives here, but she turns her house to stone when leaving for work each day. No chance to peek inside. 🧙🏿‍♀️ One of the wonders of spending time in the woods #hiking #newyork (Yes, it really is huge.)

Two photos of a huge giant slab of sedimentary rock very much looking like the shape of a log cabin house in the woods but this is solid rock.

A global scientific review has just found that 51% of migratory #bird species are experiencing population declines. Habitat destruction, #ClimateChange, and other human-caused threats are causing them to fly towards extinction. Without stronger conservation efforts, more losses are inevitable.

You found #bear poop on the trail? Cool! 💩 Step 1: check you got #BearSpray with you. Step 2: give it a poke with a stick. Q: is it fresh/warm/steamy? Oops. Turn around and *walk* back the way you came. Now :) This shit is dried out. I’m fine, usual cautions. It’s eating berries.🫐

Bear scat on the trail. Or a 300lb dog maybe, you’re right.

#GhostPipe on the trail today, aka #CorpsePlant. A rare little perennial, with an almost translucent flower. When I was a kid in outdoor science camp, our camp counselor took us on hikes and told us these only grew on top of dead bodies buried in the forest. Creepy. And not true, btw. 😂 #Hiking

3 stems of ghost pipe growing on the forest floor, white translucent stalks with a small bell shaped flower at the end. Faint purple spatters on the tips of the flower petals.

Watching tiny brook trout in the pond today. Mesmerizing waterfall too. A crayfish runs by at the very end—watch bottom right corner. Crawdad/crawfish/crayfish all the same thing, a little freshwater “lobster.” Also now I know why the pond is so crystal clear! (#Crayfish cleaner). #Hiking #NewYork

At a #MetMuseum visit I saw the ancient mosaic that inspired Lennon’s mosaic in #StrawberryFields. Am I the only one reminded of that botched “Monkey Christ” fiasco? The mosaic was destroyed in Pompeii and restored. I think they hired the same lady. That’s supposed to be #Medusa in the center! 🫠🤯

Just as deadly viruses spread globally beyond native habitats, so too invasive species. Ecosystems did not evolve with airplanes, trains, and global container shipments. #Humans did this. Invasive beetles arrive on wood shipments, kill whole forests; that barberry we shipped in for our yard? Death
