The leaves come tumbling down, and as they return to the earth, they wear their finest jewels. #ForestFriday #ColorADay #BWFri #Macro #Photography #ClassicMono #NatureIsArt #Monochrome #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #YouMatter
Getting a very early start on #ForestFriday because we really need these #trees. #OregonWhiteOaks #Woodlands #Fall #Autumn #Nature #PNW #ECK #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #KeepGoing
What an aesthetically pleasing set of fall maple leaves. #ColorADay #YellowThu #FallLeaves #Autumn #October #LeafPeeping #PNW #ECK #NatureIsArt #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #YouMatter
There’s a big, squishy spot in my heart for this #UrbanGaze. #Bern #Switzerland #Travel #ECK #ThrowbackThursday #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #KeepGoing
And now for something completely different- the Violet Oil Beetle, seen in Minnesota at Myre-Big Island State Park.

A little something from my archives for #WaterWednesday. A late afternoon walk by a lake with amazing #WaterTexture. #ClassicMono #Monochrome #NatureIsArt #PNW #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #Don’tGiveUp
It’s still unseasonably warm here, but the #trees are still doing their #October thing. #ColorADay #RedWed #Autumn #Fall #Leaves #PNW #ECK #Photography #NatureIsArt #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #KeepGoing
Some lovely #blue #hydrangeas from back in the summer for #ColorADay #BlueTue. #BloomScrolling #Flowers #NatureIsArt #PNW #ECK #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #KeepGoing
This aggregating #anemobe is an absolute color party. Also kinda looks like an eye with crazy eyelashes. #TidesOutTuesday #Beach #TidePooling #PNW #ORcoast #Abstractia #Eyes #Macro #Photography #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #YouMatter
A little something different for #RockinTuesday - the beautifully inlaid #rock pathways at #LanSuChineseGarden in downtown #PDX. #Stones #Design #PNW #ECK #Art #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #KeepGoing
Good #ThickTrunkTuesday to you all from this “watcher in the #woods” on the side of a large maple covered in #lichen. #SpookySeason #Trees #October #PNW #Anstractia #Eyes #ECK #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice
At the end of a long day, wondering when the #rain will come back. I freely admit that I’m a #Pluviophile #ColorADay #PinkMon #MacroMonday #Macro #Roses #BloomScrolling #RaindropsOnRoses #PNW #ECK #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #Don’tGiveUp
Dove into the archives for this #MinimalMonday scene from #UpstateNY. #Monochrome #ClassicMono #Snow #Winter #NatureIsArt #ECK #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #KeepGoing
There’s nothing minimal about this glorious old #OakTree. A community full of #moss, #lichen, bugs, birds, squirrels and who knows what all else. As the #leaves turn, more sky is visible, so happy #BlueSkyMonday. #Trees #Woods #Forest #NatureIsArt #PNW #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #Don’tGiveUp
47th Annual Pow Wow was held at the end of September by the Council of Three Rivers American Indian Center. What a beautiful day it was with good weather, food, friends, the singing and dancing. ~Gretchen

#Dew bejeweled #spiderwebs are such a work of #art in #nature. Found this one at another #3rdPlace favorite park on a foggy morning. #BlueSkyArtShow #BNWmacro #Macro #ClassicMono #Monochrome #PNW #ECK #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #KeepGoing
Another favorite #3rdPlace is this nearby #Woodland retreat within walking distance. Going down these steps and into the #trees sparks joy. #Forests #Trees #Woods #BlueSkyArtShow #ColorADay #GreenSat #Nature #Photography #PNW #ECK #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #Don’tGiveUp
At the same #3rdPlace where I found that amazing stick, I also found this profusion of #flowers. #BlueSkyArtShow #BloomScrolling #Parks #PNW #ECK #Nature #Macro #Art #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #YouMatter
