Wonder why they're called the blue ridge mountains? This should help. Have a most serene and lovely day! #photgography #blueridgemountains #gooutside #asheville #visitasheville #hiking #mountains #natural #nature #naturalbeauty #ilovenature #wnc #beauty #lifeinthemountains #trees #brp #ilovemylife
Standing under a volcanic cliff overhang, looking out at a waterfall coming down on the right, a pool of water below, deep green vegetation and Douglas fir forest mostly in the shade, except for the area directly across from where I’m standing, which shows a pocket of blue sky and sunlit forest.
The #background is everything here, taken somewhere along the 10 falls trail in #SilverFallsStatePark a couple of summers ago. Be safe, and happy #NoKings today! #BlueSkyArtShow #PNW #ChasingWaterfalls #Waterfalls #NatureIsArt #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #KeepGoing

A gorgeous, ruffled profusion of lavender-pink peony petals fills the frame as they open to reveal the yellow pollen center at dusk.
Sending everyone a moment of peace with a #peony. #BloomScrolling #Flowers #Spring #NatureIsArt #PNW #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #YouMatter

I love taking pictures in my garden. These are from a few years past. Have a spectacular day! #serenity #thegreatoutdoors #gardens #macrophotography #photography #flowers #nature #blueridgemountains #springisintheair #ilovenature #gooutside #naturalbeauty
Lily pads and lotus stemmed leaves dominate the foreground. Middle ground a bed of lily pads and lotus flowers. Bluffs along the main channel of the Mississipi River can be seen in the background. Bright green and blue are the dominate palette.
Hopefully this scence will be recreated this year. Lily pads and lotus flowers.

A spectacular sunrise over the Willamette Valley. The sun is just peeking over the Cascades on the lower right horizon. Tall Douglas fir trees are silhouetted on the right and left edges. Mt. Hood’s conical silhouette also peeks out on the lower left. But the sky is the real show. It’s deep blue on the top, and the sun has turned ragged clouds to shades of vibrant gold against the blue and purple of the darker clouds. Oh, the drama! The spectacle!
Happy #BlueSkyMonday! Getting up early sometimes has its perks. #Sunrise #PNW #SkyDrama #NatureIsArt #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #YouMatter

A spectacular star magnolia blossom is one of the first to open on this tree. The petals are mostly white on the upper side, but they tie pinkish on the edges. The undersides of the petals are mostly a deep, magenta pink. In the background, lots of unopened buds are getting ready to open against a deep blue sky.
The star magnolias are out of control, and I love it. #Sunday #StunDay #BloomScrolling #Magnolias #PNW #NatureIsArt #Trees #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #Don’tGiveUp
Celebrating World Forest Day with deep gratitude for the boundless gifts and lessons our forest ecosystems provide.

A stick covered in a sort of tube lichen lies on the mossy forest floor. The moss has fluffy green fingers reaching toward the pale sea-green collection of tubes that give way to varying sizes of caramel-colored cup-like reproductive structures.
Found this lovely specimen of some kind of tube lichen on a fallen stick in the Coast Range yesterday. #HotStickSaturday #Lichen #Fungi #FungiFriends #Moss #Forests #PNW #ISeeMoss #NatureIsArt #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #Don’tGiveUp

Golden, sunlit water in a creek flows over a stone, making squiggly, warm-colored ripples from bright gold to dark brown across the face of the stone, which has one orange stripe in the back that is probably a feature of the stone itself.
I love how the #water bends the sunlight flowing over this #stone in a local creek. #BlueSkyArtShow #NatureIsArt #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #KeepGoing

Alan's @alan678.bsky.social #birdoftheday theme today is #grounded , any bird on natural ground.
I took this photo of this #DarkEyedJunco yesterday. #Snow counts as natural ground, right?
Free Snowman, Some assembly required. 😒

Sunlight filters down through the boughs of some giant redwoods, illuminating a couple of baby trees in the lower left center of the picture. The scene is a gorgeous deep green with boughs and moss and undergrowth, with the dark reddish brown of the redwood especially visible in one giant towering out of the left edge of the photo. The other tree trunks are backlit, and therefore, mostly silhouettes.
Happy #ForestFriday from some gorgeous, mossy giants I visited a year ago. #Forest #Trees #Redwoods #NatureIsArt #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #KeepGoing
A stormy-looking evening sky, with roiling clouds. Rippled dark gray clouds closer to the horizon and silhouetted trees, with lighter gray, but also roiling clouds overhead.
I hope this means more rain. #Clouds #Sky #Rain #PNW #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #KeepGoing
Tomorrow is the first day of Spring. I'm soooo ready! #springequinox #photography #flowers #nature #blueridgemountains #springisintheair #ilovenature #gooutside #naturalbeauty
A plump, Pom-pom cluster of pale pink cherry blossoms sits in the left center foreground while more pink Pom-pom blossom clusters and dark brown branches blur in the background against a light gray, overcast sky.
The #CherryBlossoms on our state capital mall are exploding! They were barely buds on Monday, but the warm weather… #Spring #Trees #BloomScrolling #PNW #NatureIsArt #Photography #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #Don’tGiveUp
