A regular sized black Standard Poodle by an enormous, ancient Ponderosa Stump
I wander closed Forest Service roads that once staged heavy duty Ponderosa Pine logging in the #deschutesnationalforest The stumps they dragged to block the roads are unforgivably amazing.
Sunny profile view of a black Standard and silver Mini Poodle standing in the snowy woods
Standard and Mini. #poodles #deschutesnationalforest #dogsofbluesky #OR #PNW

My neighbors' place over yonder. Mr and Mrs Osprey with their sidecar, teenager nest. #deschutesnationalforest #OR #PNW #birdsky #osprey
A old fallen tree with limbs still sticking up, in a snowy pine forest.
I'm a little obsessed with this old, fallen tree out behind our property. I love taking pictures of it in different conditions. #deschutesnationalforest #PNW #OR
A silver Mini and a black Standard Poodle in the snowy forest. The silver had a ball hanging out of the side of her mouth and the black has a snowy snoot
Snow Poooooodles! #dogsofbluesky #poodles #deschutesnationalforest
A snowy, crystalline landscape. Pine trees in the background, the sun shining
In the high desert of Central Oregon, the big color show is snow and ice on Ponderosas, Lodgepoles, and Antelope Bitterbrush. #deschutesnationalforest
A snowy forest road, snow laden pine trees framing the fresh snow
Snowy forest road surrounded by pines, one pine is bent into the road
A snow covered, fallen snag in a snowy pine forest
I needed this, first cumulative snowfall at 4500ft #deschutesnationalforest
Found an old bird house in the woods! Looks like it is cozy and stuffed with Horsehair lichen. #birdsky #deschutesnationalforest
Finding feathers makes me silly happy. I think this is from an Osprey? There is a nesting pair in the area and it looks like feathers I have seen by the nest. #deschutesnationalforest #birdsky #feather #osprey
We reminisced in the world’s last Block Buster, watched fish watching us, and wandered around an iconic lodge on Mt. Hood.

The Ponderosa Pine forest I roam. It has this primeval, still feeling and only changes significantly when it is blanketed in snow and for 2 weeks in the spring when the Antelope Bitterbrush blooms yellow #highdesert #deschutesnationalforest
My husband calls her "13 Pounds of Terror." He is not wrong. 🤣 #poodles #dogsofbluesky #deschutesnationalforest
It's hunting season (archery to start) in the National Forest behind my house. That means I'll be picking up trash along the roads for a few months.

The calming, non chaotic sounds of my dogs' favorite game. (Onyx loses her ball so she can fight with Plum over hers) #poodles #dogsofbluesky #deschutesnationalforest
My pretty girl Onyx. I found out last week that we likely and unknowingly saved her from a grim puppy mill and neglect situation. #poodles #dogsofbluesky #deschutesnationalforest
Osprey nest on my daily walk. #deschutesnationalforest
@lukelukeluke.bsky.social for months on my daily walk I've been staring at this #fungi high in a Ponderosa Pine in the #deschutesnationalforest. I think it could be an Agarikon? Never seen another in my years walking this forest.
Onyx is wondering if this Golden Mantled Ground Squirrel would like to be friends? Maybe just a little nibble? #poodle #deschutesnationalforest #ponderosapine
When my daughter does not join us on our daily walk, sweet Plum has a hard time and keeps looking back for her 😭 #poodles #dogsofbluesky #deschutesnationalforest
First day of smoke season rolled into my part of Central Oregon yesterday. I slept like shit and am sore from the body tension and grief I felt all day. Who knows when I can enjoy life outside normally again, or how often, over the next months.

Forest Service Road, Deschutes National Forest. The trees are all crowded Lodgepole Pines, a result of logging old growth Ponderosa Pines in the previous century. Hauntingly beautiful and very dangerous in a fire prone landscape. #deschutesnationalforest
Mountain Pine Drops are my favorite. Clearly this is a fairy home. #nativeplants #deschutesnationalforest #oregon

Welp. The National Forest land that borders our property will be eligible for sale if the budget bill passes. Devastated is too mild of a word for how I feel. #Bend #Lapine #oregon #deschutescounty #deschutesnationalforest #publiclands #nationalforest
