Pic from the woods of the #pnw… and it’s not silent, of course: I’m listening to birdsong, and a car far away, now and then.

May we remember what should be remembered, this weekend of remembrance (*in the US), and find the grace to forget (as needed) too.

If I find myself looking down at the ground too much, looking up often helps…

Friends today I crossed CLIMB A STRATOVOLCANO (Mt St Helens) off my bucket list. When I first verbalized this dream I had never walked more than a couple miles in a day and I'm honestly still very scared of steep snowy hillsides. It's been years of training and I was helped and encouraged by many friendly people. Couldn't have asked for better conditions. I am so stoked! I walked a freaking MILE into the sky! #mountains #hiking #pnw

Had my coffee with Shoshone Falls yesterday morning. These falls were described to me by Klickitat River Chief Wilbur Slockish, who once spread out a blanket here and listened for hours because the sound brought back boyhood memories of Celilo Falls before the US drowned them.

“Man, I missed that sound,” he told me.

"One morning, I woke up to my dad’s panicked voice yelling, 'Get up, get up, get up!' He threw my bed aside, and he and my mom threw gunnysacks full of fish into the hole, along with a net covered in fish scales. He quickly changed and scrubbed off what mud he could, tossing his scaly clothing down with the fish.

"Soon the state game wardens came knocking at our door..."

#Kelp has long been an important part of the #Samish diet and culture. The Samish Indian Nation's Department of Natural Resources dive team, formed in 2021, was created to gain a better understanding of the health of kelp forests, after elders noticed they weren't finding kelp fronds, which are traditionally used to wrap salmon.

Mr. Completely

Annals was written in four parts across decades, ending in the 90s, and it's left me quite curious as to how the field has evolved since then. If anyone in academic #geology sees this thread and is familiar with the McPhee book, I would love a pointer to further reading that covers more recent findings and theory. And I'd especially love a book on the geological history and tectonics of the #PNW - after the Assembling California section of Annals I'm ready for more of that!

Hiked up Elk Mountain this morning to do a loop hike, returning on the Elk Creek trail. The Elk Mountain trail climbs straight up the mountain, ascending 2000 feet of elevation in the first 1.5 miles. The summit was in a cloud so no views at the top. Still enjoyed it. Was passed by a trail runner who I saw yesterday in the gorge.

Made it up to the viewpoint on Larch Mountain for this first time this year. The ascent was just over 4000 feet if elevation over 7 miles and 3 hours. While the snow cooperated, the clouds unfortunately did not. I saw the tip of Mount Hood poking out of the clouds and could barely make out St Helens in the distance. The rest were hiding. The snow has mostly melted with some snow fields above 3500 feet.

In the article, Spiro and Starbird revisit the 1954 “Seattle windshield pitting epidemic,” an event where residents in WA reported finding unexplained pits, holes and other damage in their car windshields, leading to wide speculation about the cause. It’s “a textbook example of how rumors propagate: a sort of contagion, spread through social networks, shifting how people perceive patterns and interpret anomalies,” they write.

Bearded iris, the emperor of flowers, both with and against the morning light. This clump is at least 20 years old (it came with the house) and I’ve moved and divided it several times. I think they’re finally happy. I wish the bloom time was longer—but then I guess the “blink and you miss them” is part of their mystique. Really exquisite.

A clump if bearded irises against the morning light in a garden bed. The foliage is king and pointed, and the light makes the leaf edges glow. A couple dozen enormous purple and yellow flowers look like imperial crowns on thick stems rising above the foliage. The beards or tongues hang down from them, intense purple. A stone wall, a fence, and a fir tree are visible behind.

Closeup of an iris flower. The delicate lavender of the upper petals is backlit by the morning sun and the orange-yellow of the petal beads is intense. The deep purple beards hang down beneath. Sun-dappled foliage is out of focus beyond.

Another view of the same clump of irises from the other side, with the morning sun really making the colors pop. Beyond the flower bed is a chicken run with an elaborate gate, and some fir trees.

#ThrowbackThursday to this apocalyptic sunset few yrs ago due to wildfire smoke.
We’re already getting some smoke from Canada again, our sunrise yesterday was pretty similar…

Happy #CascadiaDay! I have to confess something: I think the Cascadia Flag is kind of bad. Here's how I would fix it: https://mappingmashups.medium.com/the-cascadia-flag-needs-serious-design-help-b422db28415f #Cascadia #PNW #CascadiaFlag #DougFlag #Flags #vexillology #design

A modified version of the Cascadia Flag. The background of the flag is three horizontal stripes, blue on top, white in the middle, and green on the bottom. Overlain on the three stripes is the vertical silhouette of a Douglas Fir tree in black. The difference in this redesign is that the tree is outlined with a thin gold stroke, improving the contrast and readability of the flag.

My favorite bird, the Osprey with a fish. They have a reversible outer toe, this allows them to easily grasp fish with two toes pointing to the front and two pointing to the rear.
