@mastodonmigration - b-sky reminds me of my step-grandfather who would read newspaper articles he found interesting out loud. I don't need to see the same links to the same news stories etc repeatedly. Mastodon is best choice for original content.

Hen and Chicks
Redondo Beach, CA

Someone posted a nice photo of a whole flock of hens and chicks yesterday. I'd give them a hat-tip if my memory was better. If that was you, feel free to take a bow. Just one "hen" here, but loved the low light.

It's been about 7 years since I first noticed a "Witch's Broom" in the #Boise National Forest. Until today, I didn't know what it was called. And now I know what it was in a number of pine trees I saw during a hike.

Witch's Broom in Trees: Dense Clump of Leaves and Branches

Witch's broom affects trees like birch, spruce, and pine, causing dense twig and leaf clusters due to pathogens, parasites, and environmental stressors.

The Wild Hunt

#Today 16

Good day!

Signs?

This is Montana. We don’t need any stinking signs.

We just slap a number on a tree in the middle of the wilderness. If you don’t see it? Too bad!

You’re lucky we don’t slap a bloody handprint on the bark & call it good.

You want directions? Ask a freaking bear.

🤨😆🤣

Be everwell.

#Today 13

Good day!

The weather is just right & it isn’t the weekend, so I’m off for another hike, though nothing as epic as the last.

Time for a new area. Rock Creek. Babcock Mountain.

I’ve worked hard this last week and need to unwind where cares are carried down the creek.

Be everwell.

We have a friend that’s an #immigration attorney in #LA and she’s losing her shit. Her work with clients is being used to kidnap them. They’re grabbed if they appear for a hearing, regardless of the judge’s ruling. And even if with her help they were adjudicated to live and work in the US decades ago, the record of that fact is used by ICE to kidnap them. So her phone is ringing off the hook *and* all the tear-gassing and gunplay and kidnapping is occurring at her place of work.

cool, clear spring water
seeping from layers of rock

Washington State Park created this playlist for those people:

@negative12dollarbill @intrepidhero @killyourfm someone should make a playlist like this for the people who blast music at the bus station for no reason. put all the same songs on it.
@negative12dollarbill @intrepidhero @killyourfm There is one suitable piece. By John Cage.

@negative12dollarbill @intrepidhero @killyourfm *cough* that's Washington DNR

Parks was never that funny

@negative12dollarbill @intrepidhero @killyourfm

This was one of my favorite parts of recently visiting Japan: No one is blaring music or their phone conversation from their phone. What a polite, civilized society!

@negative12dollarbill @intrepidhero @killyourfm also works for BART, the bus, your bicycle, the street corner outside the bodega, etc.
