In a field of tall, damp, windswept grass, a black Labrador wearing a blue collar stands with eyes closed. To its left and slightly behind, a yellow Labrador in a red collar sits patiently, gazing into the camera. The terrain overlooks a vast Columbia River Valley with undulating hills under an overcast sky.
The old bosses on a rainy day.

I saw one of our bumper stickers in the wild when we did storytime at the park. Cherry blossoms. A car made with the big blue blocks yesterday. And this morning's sunrise from our deck. #library #childrenslibrarian #spring #cherryblossoms #easternwashington
Went to see the Sandhill Cranes yesterday. Pretty impressive. And loud. But I love the sound they make. Really wanted to get a pic of them flying/landing but I was just using my phone so they weren't great. #easternwashington #sandhillcranes #migration #washingtonstate #westrichland

A peace pole with the text *May Peace Prevail On Earth* written in several languages with a shrub, trees and a blue sky with clouds in the background.
A blue metal bench with a pattern of holes in front of a shrub with a small orange dinosaur toy in plastic left for someone to find.
A stack of 5 balanced rocks on top of a large boulder with dry grass, shrubs and bare bushes in the background.
A small rock painted white with two black stops and two blue google eyes left for someone to find.
A Peace Pole at a local church, an abandoned toy left for someone to find, some rock stacking and a painted rock at the Demonstration Garden.

In bars and cafes from Okanagan to Yakima, and from Republic to Colfax, there’s a guy who drives a big pickup truck who can’t help himself from talking about how much he hates this damn state.

![The image is a black and white photograph depicting an outdoor rural scene, likely from the early to mid-20th century based on the style of vehicles and clothing. In the foreground, there's a stream or creek with dense vegetation along its banks including tall grasses and trees with lush foliage indicative of a temperate climate.
Alongside the waterway is what appears to be farm machinery: an old truck modified for agricultural use, equipped possibly with a pump or motor used in irrigation processes. The vehicle seems aged and weathered, suggesting it has been well-used over time.
On the right side of the photograph, a person crouches by the edge of the waterway; they seem to be engaged in some sort of manual work, likely related to farming activities such as harvesting or preparing soil for planting. Their posture suggests effort, with hands possibly submerged or reaching into the ground.
The background is filled with more trees and what could be agricultural fields visible beyond a fence that demarcates property boundaries. The sky is overcast, providing diffused natural light without strong shadows on the scene below.
There are several inscriptions overlaid at various points in the image: "EASTERN WASHINGTON," suggesting geographical context; numbers such as "360814-5" and a code "FMS 72-9K." Additionally, there's text indicating this photograph is part of a series [...]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ls2ap3pxsotp3pgwjf7o633l/bafkreie4idlm4hqidaplcrurna6x6zi2c4w5fi3qucro6zhw3ktebwvgny)

Photograph of hoarfrost covering branches of ponderosa pine. This array of branches has no evident needles and appears as a wide filigree of graceful curves, accentuated by the white outlining of delicate frost needles.
More frost...
#photography #winter #easternwashington #palouse
Closeup photograph of ponderosa pine covered in very long hoarfrost needles. The scene is almost totally frost-covered, but the distinctive firework-burst shape of ponderosa needles at the end of a branch can be made out. The frost needles spread everywhere, looking like the almost fuzzy spikes of an especially nasty cactus.
Not much real #cold around here this winter, but there was some incredible frost this week.

Vertically oriented photograph of massive waterfall, highly zoomed in. Th entire frame is filled with falling or surging water. The water is very brown with white highlights and appears very textured. The upper part of the frame is full of an enormous sheet of falling water, while lower down is a column surging back upward from the forces of the water's impact.
Another from my 2025 favorites collection:

A starkly beautiful landscape shot of the bridge spanning Selah Creek. Cirrus clouds paint pretty pictures in the sky overhead.
A bit of old basalt, positively covered in lichens. Pale greens and olive yellows dominate.
Stopped at the #SelahCliffs on the way towards holiday visits this year, the #bridge was gorgeous AND there were cool #lichens!

Landscape photograph of rolling hills under a stormy sunset. Beyond the hills is a larger, darker mountain, stretching nearly across the frame, with a crown of fog flowing over its ridge. The sky is dominated by blue-gray clouds, but behind them is a smooth wash of peach-colored sunset.
Autumn skies were great on the Palouse this year! A few more here: frishmanphoto.wordpress.com/2025/12/18/l...

One must reasonably ask why those judges chose to do neither. Especially given the very high profile cases involving another prosecutor that wasn’t properly appointed. If you are in Eastern Washington, you should be concerned. www.waed.uscourts.gov/popular-links #easternwashington
Equalizing the population sizes of 3 states by allowing #GreaterIdaho transfer of #EasternOregon & #EasternWashington to #Idaho also enables other useful changes.
Like getting genocidal slaver #GeorgeWashington off Pacific map to rename coastal WA #Seattle or #Antifa.
And/or province of Canada.
Well the Texas accession treaty is clear enough, defying it gives #Texit a clear path to just secede. Maybe should happen anyway if it is so often at odds with DC.
Every county in #EasternOregon has voted to join #GreaterIdaho, so would every one in #EasternWashington if allowed. Try that first.
A paved road leads straight ahead between snow-covered hills. There is a cloud along the left horizon that reaches a small tendril to the right. The rest of the sky is clear blue.
I would rather have #snow than all this rain!!! Image from the county where I grew up. From a glorious day years ago, driving through the #palousehills #whitmancounty #easternwashington
