The answers are all around us. Perhaps we spend too much time searching for questions that were never meant to be asked. The source of the Dungeness River, WA #nature #source #river

Along the a trail in Illahee Land Reserve, WA. This was the last raw trail Carly and I explored together. The rains today got me thinking about her. What I'd give for that eye contact one more time.... #forest #trails #Carly #love

I have an American Mountain Ash whose berries are descended upon by various flocks of birds each year and devoured within 24 hours. To my delight this year it will be the Northern Flickers turn. #nature #northernFlicker #mountainash

I rolled over last night and thought of a delightful little ditty to share with a cloud image. I thought to jot it down but thought, oh I'll recall. Well here are the clouds. The ditty will have to wait for another time.... #clouds #lostthoughts

Carly. ❤️ A remembrance written after her passing last winter. See ALT
Carly, aka Peanut, took the long trail today. She was my trailblazer, the one who always walked a few steps ahead, showing me the way. We spoke in a language only the two of us understood, a quiet conversation woven from years of companionship and trust. She would spin in circles until her bowl was set before her, a small ritual that never failed to make me smile. She always told me when it was time for bed. She followed me everywhere with pure joy, and she always had to ride shotgun.

Last summer, we explored new trails together. She loved to forage through the forest, nose to the ground, tail lifted with purpose, as if she were reading the world’s hidden script. Whenever we reached a fork, I’d ask her, “Which way should we go?” And she always chose the long way.

That was her gift, choosing the long way, the way with more scent, more wonder, more life. She taught me to slow down, to look closely, to take the path that offers more time together.
Today, she took the longest trail of all. And though I cannot follow her yet, I carry every step we shared. Her joy, her devotion, her quiet wisdom, they remain the compass in my chest.

May her trail be soft beneath her paws. May the forest open wide for her. And may I honor her by choosing the long way, just as she always did.

Somebody's boring me. I think it's me. ~ Dylan Thomas Loved this quote, but had a hard time finding a photo that expressed boredom, so I opted for this one of Carly (past pup) and Max, waiting for something to do... #quote #dogs #boredom

As I stepped outside to let the pups do their thing, I was greeted by the most blue-pink sky. I thought to myself how beautiful, then thought I'd love to share this....but instead I thought maybe this is just for me, this time....

This trunk has been worked over by woodpeckers, most likely Pileated Woodpeckers. Their feeding creates cavities that later shelter owls, squirrels, and songbirds. In this way, each peck contributes to the forest’s renewal cycle, turning decay into habitat. #trunk #woodpeckers #forest #nature

Since @tenoaks6.bsky.social share backyards, I thought I would attempt to start taking my camera along and see what I could get with my two pups in tow. We took a new trail and they loved the exploring.
