Header image inlet of Salish Sea. A small rounded island looks black in grey water. Sunshine breaks heavy grey clouds. A contrast of dark & light. Foreground is the beach in silhouette. A thin stream is lit up silvery as it trickles into the sea.

When I go on my wanders I come across beauty, everywhere, of all kinds. There are specific places in the forests near our home where there are perfect moss gardens. I return to them often. To admire their richness, their deep eloquence. #mosstodon #moss #forest #森 #苔
A river otter alone on the shore. They were looking spring frisky, rubbing their chin (glands?) onto rocks, grooming, grooming. Cautious, but unafraid of their human admirers.
Spring has arrived on the wet coast. The yellow-rumped warblers flitting among the earliest blossoms, looking for bugs. Birds can serve trees as pollinators and pest control. They're not just singing merrily for you. They are not singing for you at all. #saltynaturedoc
In the forest out back the moody day and the eloquence of arbutus. The mist beguiles.
Been away from this site so long. It is 2026 in this new year of atrocities, bravery, grief, and beauty. May the best in each of us buoy our neighbour. May our hands reach out in aid, and for love.
During the dark wet winters in #wsanecterritory #fungi still bloom, a ghostly note echoing from tree to tree. The quietest music to be heard. #wander #funghi #pilze #キノコ #forestwalk
Then a stray beam of sunlight broke through the forest canopy. Lit up the fungus for three glorious seconds. I could have wept. These long years, waiting, for this moment.
