A former #HargeisaWaterAgency chief, @MohamedDarod, is demanding #Transparency over #Somaliland’s recognition deal with #Israel, warning of hidden #security clauses & rising unrest in #Awdal & #Salal. “There is no such thing as a free lunch,” he says.

#Salal is one of my favorite #plants. I grew up around it, and this is probably the best season to showcase it. Fresh bright growth, and rows of little bell-shaped #blossoms all over the place.

Found a #bee that seems to enjoy it as much as I do.

Went #walking on Saturday after an errand with my wife, who pointed out a tiny #frog!

I've never seen terrestrial #frogs before in the area, usually I just see the ones that poke their heads out of lakes and ponds to say hi. This dude, less than an inch long, was chilling on some #salal, about 3 feet in the air.

Also pictured, a little spider hanging out on a small flower by the trailhead.

(1/2) Went for a short hike today at #MarineViewPark in #DesMoines #Washington. Gorgeous day, with some beautiful views. A few shots from the trail. Nice view of Rainier as well.

Hey #PacificNorthWest people! Do any of you know how to #cultivate #salal ? Or how to best clean and process the #berries ? I have some questions.
