Can you spot the Great blue heron? #heron #clouds #birdwatching #sunset #pnw #water

Woolly clouds in the sky are reflected in the still water of the lake, while on the shoreline green plants turn golden in the sunset. A great blue heron is nearly hidden amongst the cloud reflections & water plants, towards the center of the picture.

Found new appreciation for my favorite takeout matcha latte when I stayed in & drank it from the bowl, utterly sublime. #matcha #teasky #tea #latteart #turonmatcha #oatmilk

Green and white swirl of matcha and oat milk foam in a warm, yellowish brown clay bowl, sitting on a wooden slatted table a similar color as the bowl.

Stunning ghost pipe!

Kate @k8star-p.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

oh ghost pipe to simply exist on the gifts of others standing tall in strange beauty — my heart overflows with gratitude for this epiphany. there is another way to be. #ghostpipe #monotropauniflora #mycoheterotrophic #poem #poetry #gifteconomy

A stand of Ghost pipe plants, white against the mossy forest floor. A three leaved green plant is visible in the lower right corner of the picture.

Ghost pipe plants are mycoheterotrophic, meaning they derive nutrients directly from the mycorrhiza, typically of Russula species beneath hemlock trees. Our social bias calls this “stealing”, or “parasitic”, although no harm comes to the mycorrhiza in this relationship. The ghost pipe lives on the gifts of others, and does not need to make a contribution in the quid pro quo sense. They simply exist, an unexpected and ethereal beauty on the forest floor.

You had me at old books… 🤤
