Otter lunchtime! A low-tide stroll along the Puget Sound shoreline in Seattle’s Discovery Park had a wonderful surprise today. 🦦

Some pictures I took from my walk last week when the weather was much nicer. Not Spring yet, but there's signs of life. I even took my shoes off at one point and went barefoot. Nature is a natural healer.

Lovely pink blooms. 4 of them, surrounded by luscious buds. Bonus: if you zoom into the left and bottom center flowers, tiny insects can be seen.
Yellow flower in full bloom. A bud can also be seen beside it.
Gorgeous pale yellow flower. The center axis is mesmerizing.
Local #tampabay beauties ❤️ from my walk around my neighborhood today. Nature is so magnificent 🌿🌸☀️

I finally decided to stop letting life get in the way of taking my camera out of its bag more often. I thought I’d present some images from a recent wandering.

Interior of a cafe or deil with people waiting for their orders while dressed in winter clothing. Brick flooring. Deli displays. Overall a warm, comfortable environment.
Outdoor metal seating and tables for a cafe. Vivid view of a vast park with trees, vivid green grass, tidily trimmed bushes. The sky has scattered clouds which transform the sunlight into a radiant glow that is cast onto the tables.
View taken from someone seated at an outdoor table at a bakery. The table has a white plate with eggs and bacon and silverware. There is a white cup likely filled with tea with text printed on it: TROPEA. A pigeon has landed on the table and is giving side-eye to the person taking the photo from a seated position. An early morning light gives a glow to the setting and provides long shadows across the table and at other tables beyond.
Photo taken from a seat at an indoor table of deep brown wood. On a black trau sits two plates, each with a tempting treat. The left seems to be some kind of small baked good with cheese on it. The right is a tasty treat piled high with fresh fruit. A pink milkshake completes the trio of treats. There is a menu bar code on a paper laid on the table that can be scanned on the lower left of the image but it is partially cut off in the image. The setting feels small and cosy and there are no other patrons around.
Your daily moment of #peace:
Take a break in the imaginary cafe in your mind and turn of social networks for a bit, grab something to nibble on and drink, and find a local view to revel in.

Wondering what would cause this gathering of American Coots to flutter like that? Wait for it.....

Landscape photo overlooking the ocean.
Hectic morning and went for a walk after to clear my head. Ended up climbing a tower (i.e., stairs lol). Totally worth it.

It was a beautiful winter afternoon, as the sun began to set over the frozen creek.

Deer walking through a snowy pasture
A walking trail through snow covered evergreens
A frozen drop of water hangs like a glass ornament from the end of some lichen
A view of a snowy meadow, snow covered trees, and snowy mountains
Highly recommend a brain break from all that’s going on in the world right now with a walk in nature when you can. Brain cleansed by snow today. #TakeAWalk #TimelineCleanse
never know what you'll see but you'll be glad you did #takeawalk #today
Closeup of a downed tree trunk with a thick growth of deep green moss and several shelves of turkey tail fungus with their rings of brown and gray with white edges.

A collection of harlequin glorybower berries on small twigs. They look like puffy magenta stars with a royal blue berry in the center. So neat!
A neighbor down the street from me has this tree in their yard and I had no idea what it was (iNaturalist says a “harlequin glorybower”) stunning, for sure! #Stunday #Trees #TakeAWalk #Macro #Photography #Nature #PNW #iNaturalist #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #KeepGoing
The only thing missing me currently is my driving apps.
Begging to be taken out for a drive.
Asking if im alive.
Telling me we haven't gone driving in days.
Its... a LOT

Pretty Autumn colors #November #trees #Nature #TakeAWalk
A sunlit forest path in rich autumn colors. Trees with golden and orange leaves arch over a dirt trail, while the low sun shines through branches on the left side of the image. The ground is scattered with fallen leaves, and the path leads toward a brighter clearing in the distance.
A stretch of path, warm autumn light, and that calm feeling that only a late-season walk can give.

Close up of a single bright yellow daisy. The central disk has a beautiful spiral pattern, along with 2 tiny disk florets. The stem is green with a touch of brown toward the base. It is surrounded by lush green grass.
Landscape overlooking a small creek. There is dense green foliage in the background with many trees. The sky is cloudy, but light with fluffy white clouds. What bits of the sky that can be seen are a vibrant bright blue.
Landscape overlooking a small creek with a sandy bend. The background is wilderness, in various shades of greens and browns, with many trees and vines.
A richardia grandiflora plant with light violet flower petals and a yellowish orange center. The leaves are green and show some signs of insect damage. It is surrounded by green leaves and grass that appear to have been eaten by insects as well. I think it's safe to say the bugs love them!
From my adventures this weekend! I saw NO other humans in the preserve this day and it was glorious ✨️
FL doesn't have a "fall" like some other places, but I think she's just as beautiful in her own right.

Close-up of a European paper wasp (Polistes dominula) resting on rough, weathered wood. The wasp’s body is slightly fuzzy around the thorax, and its translucent wings are dotted with tiny dew droplets that catch the light. The antennae curve gently forward as if feeling the air. The background is softly blurred, giving a sense of early morning stillness or cool shade. Paper wasps are often seen in motion, but here the insect is simply paused — warming its muscles and gathering information from scent and airflow before it moves again. The image captures a moment of quiet presence in a creature usually associated with speed and alert activity.
A paper wasp at rest.
Not hunting, not building — just warming, sensing, waiting.
Even the smallest lives have quiet hours.

Lovely evening walk through the corn maze & farm with Rebecca after work at the Sauvie Island Pumpkin Patch! 🌾🎃
#takeawalk #Wellnesssky #cornmaze
A dimly lit cluster of Coprinellus micaceus mushrooms growing close together on mossy ground. Their amber caps catch a soft beam of light against a dark background. The edges are thin and beginning to curl as they age. These saprobic mushrooms grow from decaying wood, recycling organic matter into nutrients for the forest floor. The scene feels calm, earthy, and timeless — life continuing in its quiet cycles.
In the quiet dark, a colony of mica caps gathers on moss-covered wood — Coprinellus micaceus, quietly feeding on what has fallen, turning it into life again.

A close-up photograph of a single, tattered bird feather standing upright in an old wooden post. The feather is brown with pale bands and frayed edges, illuminated softly against a muted background of autumn light. Though worn, it still carries the elegant structure that once allowed it to ride the wind — the interlocking barbs, the strong central shaft, the fine down near its base. Feathers like this are marvels of natural engineering: hollow, flexible, and capable of repairing small breaks through micro-hooks along their surface. Now grounded, this one seems almost contemplative — a symbol of both endurance and impermanence, bridging the space between earth and sky.
A single feather, weathered by wind and time, still stands — a quiet testament to flight and the beauty of what remains.

Nearly 3-miles wandering around the corn maze & pumpkin patch at Bella Organics with my hubby, son & his girlfriend! 🎃🌾🧡

Close-up photograph of a Coprinellus micaceus mushroom, also known as the Mica Cap. The image focuses on the rim of the mushroom’s cap, where its gills have curled upward into elegant dark spirals. The texture is glossy and ribbed, like strands of inked paper rolled by hand. The cap itself glows in warm shades of caramel and amber, lit softly from the side. Coprinellus micaceus earns its name from the tiny mica-like granules that once coated its young surface, glittering faintly in morning light before washing away with rain. As it ages, the mushroom dissolves its own gills into an inky liquid to release spores — a fleeting but ingenious strategy of self-renewal. The photo captures the moment between form and fade, where beauty is found in impermanence.
The Mica Cap — glimmering youth, inky wisdom. Even in decay, Coprinellus micaceus finds a way to shine.

Close-up photograph of a single fallen leaf, its surface covered in countless droplets of water. The leaf glows in soft tones of amber and ochre, with its veins forming a delicate map beneath the beads of dew. The water droplets reflect the pale light of an overcast sky, giving the surface a jeweled, almost metallic shimmer. In the blurred background, muted greens and browns hint at the forest floor. The image captures the moment between decay and renewal — the leaf’s structure still intact, its role shifting from collector of sunlight to giver of nutrients. A quiet, poetic moment in nature’s endless cycle.
A fallen leaf, dressed in dew and memory — autumn’s art of quiet renewal.
