Can you see my little friend jammed into the #rocks here? It’s probably a striped shore #crab, if my #iNaturalist choice is right. #TidesOutTuesday #RockinTuesday #Macro #Photography #Wildlife #ORCoast #TidePooling #PNW #ECK #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #YouMatter

A tiny striped shore crab, about 3 centimeters across, is jammed into a crack in the basaltic rocks on the ocean side of Proposal Rock on the beach at Neskowin State Park along the Oregon Coast. Its eyes are black, its claw tips are kind of lavender, but turn a mottled spring green and maroon as they go up to the rest of its body, which is also those colors. A couple of cream-colored barnacles are attached to the rock on either side, as well as some very tiny baby barnacles growing on the “roof” of this rock crevice.

How cute is this #zinnia for #ColorADay #PinkMon? I love the center. #BloomScrolling #Flowers #Macro #MacroMonday #ECK #PNW #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #KeepGoing

A closeup of a deep pink zinnia flower. It’s kind of magenta, including the feathery center that radiates in towards the middle of itself. Around that central circle, tiny, bright yellow stars pop out. It’s so cute.

Happy #BlueSkyMonday y’all. Hope you can take a moment to breathe and recenter today. #FarewellBend #PNW #Travel #Rivers #Mountains #Sky #NatureIsArt #Landscape #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #Don’tGiveUp

The partially blue and cloudy sky is reflected in the glassy waters of the Snake River at Farewell Bend State Park in far eastern Oregon. Green foliage covers the near bank, and is partially shaded by the patchy clouds above. Dry, tan-brown mountains beyond the opposite bank are also reflected. The Snake River is especially low as the drought across the west continues.

Before the end of #StunDay, take a breath and please enjoy this amazing #Sunset. #Sky #CratersOfTheMoon #ID #NatureIsArt #GOoutside #Breathe #Notice #Don’tGiveUp

A stunning sunset stretches out over the black, silhouetted lava hills of Craters of the Moon, Idaho. Swathes of honey gold, salmon pink, lavender-gray, pale gray, light blue, and darker blue are painted across the sky just after the sun sank below the hills. In fact, this is looking the same way as the viewpoint I shared with the milky way galaxy a couple of days ago, as this is a dark sky region.

I just finished my barkfest and am listening to the #cacklinggeese fly over. Mine and Lilu's mums will be packing up the #campsite after they drink the not-so-stinky-green-water (matcha latte). They ran out of stinky-black-water (coffee).

A tiny demonstration of how waterproof seagull #feathers are. #Dewdrops #Beach #PNW #ORCoast #Macro #Photography #Monochrome #ClassicMono #BNWmacro #ECK #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #YouMatter

A monochrome, macro shot of a seagull (I assume) feather on the beach sand. The feather is white, and it’s covered in tiny crystal dewdrops as it lies on the dark grainy, gray sand of the beach.

Come with me as my mum and I take the bipolar path on our short hike 😆

So, I recently learned that #BigLeafMapleSyrup is a thing. Native to the #PNW, they make a very dark, rich syrup. Tried it at the state fair and have not been able to stop thinking about it. #ColorADay #GreenSat #ECK #Trees #Leaves #Macro #Photography #NatureIsArt #GoOutside #Notice #YouMatter

Macro closeup of a backlit, bright green big leaf maple leaf section, with yellow and brown parts that show drought damage and aging as we come into the fall. I love the detail of the veins in the leaves.

It’s that time of the week again…
I #Challenge You to #GoOutside!

Soak in the sun for a few. Meditate on what's around you.

Walk barefoot in the #grass. #Hugatree. Find peace star gazing or cloud watching.

You could even go camping or fishing!

Happy #HotStickSaturday! Finding a #CoolStick covered in #lichen always cheers me up. #Macro #FungiFriends #Fungi #PNW #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #Don’tGiveUp

This is a 3-centimeter section of a small stick that fell out of a tree during the last rainy spell. The tip is covered in pale sea-green shield lichen with tiny sprigs of oakmoss sticking out at different angles. A bright yellow pop of sunburst lichen with its disc-shaped growths sits in the middle of it all.

These seemingly barren high #desert scenes still have a lot happening. Layers of dusty rose, two shades of #golden, and dark grayish brown go up and into the #mountains. #BlueSkyArtShow #Landscape #Idaho #ECK #NatureIsArt #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #KeepGoing

A high desert scene from remote eastern Idaho. In the foreground, there’s some short, scrubby, dry weeds the color of dusty rose. Behind that, there’s a layer of bright golden yellow grass, and then, as the altitude rises, the hills beyond turn a kind of golden brown (like lion fur). The mountains behind that have rocky layers of dark grayish brown and just gray, getting darker under a thunderstormy sky as they go to the last visible layer of mountains.

After a thunderstorm over the high desert, we got to enjoy this incredible #rainbow. #Scape #Sky #Clouds #AfterTheStorm #Landscape #CratersOfTheMoon #ID #Volcanic #NatureIsArt #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #KeepGoing

The volcanic landscape of Craters of the Moon, Idaho has been freshly washed by a thunderstorm, so the red cinders and scrubby brownish green plants covering the hillside look brighter the sky is blue with puffy white and gray clouds and there’s a big rainbow going across the center of the picture.

May your #ForestFriday be marvelous. Spend some time with #trees today. #Woods #Forests #Woodlands #Moss #ISeeMoss #GoldenHour #Sunbeams #NatureIsArt #PNW #ECK #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #Don’tGiveUp

Golden hour along a forest path heading west through a dense stand of Sitka spruce, Douglas fir, and many other species of trees living along the Oregon coast. Trees cast long shadows on the reddish-brown path in the bright, golden, late afternoon sunshine. The dappled sun illuminates the green boughs and dense green undergrowth and moss. Incidentally, the forest floor here is like a velvety green carpet because it’s covered in Oregon beaked moss. The sky above is clear and blue through the trees.

We've swapped the dunes of the Grassland for the #KettleLakes&Wetlands of the #Lakeland region. 📲reception has been patchy & mum has tried valiantly to post...when she remembers. Heading to our last 🏕 tomorrow.

And before this day is over, here’s a #bumblebee working on a #yellow flower. #ColorADay #YellowThu #InsectThursday #Pollinators #BloomScrolling #Flowers #PNW #ECK #Macro #NatureIsArt #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #KeepGoin

A big, fuzzy yellow and black bumblebee works on a bright yellow flower with a gorgeously mathematically-swirled, spring-green center that almost looks quilted, with yellow pollen stems sticking out at the bottom.

Spent an uncomfortable night in the boonies last night to take some #DarkSky photos. I’m learning, but just seeing the sky like this with my eyes was mind blowing. #MilkyWay #Galaxy #Stats #Night #CratersOfTheMoon #ID #NatureIsArt #ECK #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #YouMatter

Looking west at 11:30 p.m. from Craters of the Moon, Idaho, a dark sky preserve. The dark, starry night’s sky with the hazy Milky Way galaxy visible from the top to the bottom of the picture. With the long exposure, there is a patch of dark copper sunset STILL sitting in the dip between silhouetted volcanic hills.

A quick visit lakeside in Findley Lake to check out the view. A very overcast, and uncomfortably humid day for temperatures in the low 70's. The slight breeze does help a bit. The mosquitoes are unforgiving. ~Gretchen

Enjoyed spending time with these elder statesbeings. Happy #ThickTrunkTuesday, and may you get a chance to see some lovely #trees today. A lot of Douglas firs and Sitka spruce here. #Forests #Woodlands #Moss #ISeeMoss #PNW #NatureIsArt #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #KeepGoing

A sunlit forest of towering Douglas fir and Sitka spruce trees with a bright green mossy, fern-covered carpet. The sky above is blue, and the tree boughs are a deep green.
