Finding hearts among the cactus was a favorite game in Mesa, AZ. 🌵💚 #plantlover #cactus #photography

Is there anything sweeter than the unfurling of baby fern fronds? Maybe, but in this moment, it makes my heart melt. 🪴💚 #photography #ferns #plantlover #pnw #naturegirl #plantparenthood

No fungus on today's hike but instead the lovely glow of fresh, new moss growing on the trees. #photography #naturegirl #plantlover #pnw #moss

Where are my fellow 1975'ers at?! I am actually pretty stoked to turn 50 towards the end of the year. How rad is it that we have lived half our life in the 20th century and now half in the 21st?? Think of the amazing changes #GenX has witnessed! What do you think about 50? #thisis50 #80skid

Found a mushroom in my parent's lawn and wanted to get the ant perspective. #fungus #naturegirl #mushrooms

Gorgeous day snowshoeing on the Mckenzie! The perfect way to say good bye to 2024. ❄️

It feels wonderful to have been welcomed by so many of you here on BlueSky... especially the sticking it to Leon part. 😛

Trump taps Project 2025 architect Ross Vought to lead the budget office. Here was Vought during the campaign saying he didn't blame Trump for disavowing Project 2025 because he knew it was a good political move.

I’m sorry to start the day with something so sobering, but Robert F. Kennedy is about to completely weaken global health - and people will die because of it. Here’s how. 🧵

The more informed you are, the less likely you are to vote Republican. Who agrees? 🤚

One Warm Springs Tribe story I came across described how the mountains of this range were once people who were on a march due to the conflict between Mt. Adams and Mt. Hood and stopped as a result of Coyote’s trickery, becoming mountains where they stood. 2/2

European settlers in the area gave them the names Faith (North Sister), Hope (Middle Sister), and Charity (South Sister), but their collective name as “The Three Sisters” came from local Native American myth. 1/2

The Three Sisters Mtns, Cascade Range, OR as seen from the view point on the highway between Sisters and Bend. Local Native American story in the comments. #oregonbeauty #oregon #3sisters #bendoregon #nature #mountains

Desert scrub grass and barb wire fence in the foreground, evergreen trees in the middle distance, and 3 snow covered mountains, all approximately 10,000 feet elevation at their peaks.

My kitty with the extra toes was very cozy this morning. It was hard to leave for a 9.5 hour day instead of just curling up beside her. 😺

You should try Horse Rock, outside of Marcola.

Hiking slow and looking down and all around. Sometimes I hike for exercise and miss things. This was just a lovely ramble in the woods. Highly recommend, 5 stars!

No, I've not seen it out there, unless maybe someone had one at the mushroom festival a few weeks ago! 😁

Yep, Amethyst Deceiver and it's edible, too! This particular one is pretty old, hence the ruffles.

Laurel from Oregon @oregonlaurel.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

Yum!! I saw some near where I took this photo but not enough to make it a good hunting area.

Laurel from Oregon @oregonlaurel.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

Nice! Beautiful area, easy drive to Eugene/Springfield or Albany/Salem. Great hiking out that way, too!

Laurel from Oregon @oregonlaurel.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

Lol! Well, you can eat this one too!

Nice! PWN has my heart forever! 💜

Me, too! (although I wish our history wasn't so ugly.) The beauty is outstanding and many of the people are genuine and lovely!

Laurel from Oregon @oregonlaurel.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

Mushroom! It used to have a traditional cap, but it does this as it ages. 😊 It's edible, too!

Laurel from Oregon @oregonlaurel.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

I'm sorry you're experiencing that. I'm a native Oregonian, born and raised, but I am not proud of much of our history and continued problematic thinking in regard to others in a large part of the state.

Yeti for this sweet pupper? My Avery needed sleeves to protect an area she was licking and the baby department is much less expensive than dog clothes! 😁

Stay ahead of the pain and get Miralax for the constipation. Don't be surprised if you have some post surgery blues/depression. Let people help you, especially with housework, shopping etc, if they offer. Easy to put on/take off pj's and lounge clothes that don't sit on the incision.

Had a laminectomy in 2018 & microdiscectomy in 2020. I don't know what type of surgery you are having on your spine but my biggest piece of advice would be to follow instructions carefully about movement and exercise, lifting, and whatever physical therapy you receive after surgery. Best wishes! 🤍
