A tiny ant champion does tiny ant things.

A smol purple flower bids you to stop doomscrolling and to eat a vegetable that isn't a smol flower.

A supremely texturous leaf does a thing in the sun. Is awesome.

A cluster of future leaves blooms the fuck out of a tree.

Nice little things from today's walk.

The larger world seems to kind of suck these days; it's comforting to focus on a smaller scale. Stay safe humans.

A small, delicate brown mushroom rises above a fallen branch.

A tiny little chonk of a brown mushroom pops up out of the undergrowth. A pair of tiny insects (less than a millimeter long) can be seen crawling on it.

An opening salmonberry blossom, backlit by the bright sun above. It looks almost like a fuschia starfish.

Spotted a pair of mating hummingbirds today, but failed to catch them on camera. #Fungi and #flowers were slower-moving, so y'all get those instead.

A lumpy grey-brown tree covered in melon-sized lumps. It is happy with the shape it has, and needs no change.

A mossy tree covered in ferns wishes you well this Friday.

A lovely lumpy tree, a fine ferny friend. Always a treat to visit green things.

A bright orange mushroom, the cap about four inches across, peeks out from beneath a log to say hello.

A pair of rounded little mushrooms grow out of the side of a living tree, just being charming little fellows like they do.

A couple #fungiFriends to brighten your #fungiFriday experience.

It's been a wet week where I live, with fewer walks. Today was no exception, as my soggy shoes can attest. Cheers friends, I wish you a fine weekend.

A pretty pink camellia flower covered in a layer of snow.

A cluster of pink plum blossoms, weighed down by a load of snow.

#Snowing today just south of #Seattle. In March.

I'm sure everything is fine.

Stay safe humans.

A trio of pink plum blossoms bids you the best of good evenings.

A bundle of dangling pink currant blossoms dangles from a limb.

Love this season for my yard.

Have a great evening, Internet humans.

A cluster of white plum blossoms in the foreground, with the blurry tree itself faded out in the background. The tree knows nothing of war or AI.

Have a plum blossom, as a treat.

Stay kind, humans.

Find something happy today, humans. It's a real one. Chin up.

A cellphone tower boasts an impressive eagle best upon the top. Eagle is away at the moment though.

This #eagle has chosen "mecha-tree" for their nest. Love it.

Some days I can see the birds - a mated pair - in the area, but today only the nest.

A red bloom from a deciduous tree. It will eventually turn into a leaf.

Tons of little moss tufts cling to a tree trunk prettily.

A few little pixie cup lichens grow on a stump between tufts of vibrant green moss.

Saw a coyote on today's walk, but wasn't able to get a photo. Super cool experience though.

Also some pretty #moss, and #lichen.

A glorious tuft of moss spreads fronds in greeting, backlit by the sun.

Shaggy moss grows on a branch.

A broken stick is positively crawling with pallid fungi and lichens.

A damp little mushroom raises a cap to the sky on the forest floor

Found some marvelous #mosses and friendly #fungi on today's walk. Treasured trespassing, as always.

Got hailed on a bit, rained on a bit, but such things remind you of life. Stay kind out there, human chums.

A cluster of pussywillow blossoms shine in the late light of the evening.

Tiny little moss clusters shelter in the crack of a trail's railing.

Good morning, humans of the Internet!

I'm here today to compliment you on your choice of social media platforms, to share this #PussyWillow blossom, and also a neat #moss from yesterday's walk. Stay classy out there.

A delicate little white flowering bush begins to leaf out for spring.

A look ahead down a late winter trail, through cool sunlight.

Things are starting to bloom and open up. A reminder to take a breath, to stretch. Warmer times approaching. Stay kind.

A funky little green lichen happily sprawls on a split branch.

Found a neat little #lichen. Cheers friends.

A photograph of a split piece of wood encountered beside a trail. Narrow channels in the wood have created the shape of a butterfly, likely created by ants or termites.

Not all butterflies start out as caterpillars.

A cluster of tiny pixie cup lichens, some sporting tiny droplets of water.

Looking forward, down a forest trail.

Feeling tired today. Stay safe out there humans. Appreciate the little things.

A pale brown plant; sort of a husk of stacked dandelion floofs. It looks pretty neat, with some bracken out of focus in the background.

A cluster of striated shelf fungi group up on the broken end of a fallen log, looking fly.

Two photos from yesterday's walk. Cheers, humans.

A cluster of five birds nest fungi or merrily poke up from the undergrowth.

A fallen log, covered in moss, rests amid numerous fallen leaves.

Two small mushrooms are growing beside a mossy log.

Afternoon, good people! Spotted more #BirdsNestFungi today while investigating a new anthill. It's a neat one.

Cheers, take care out there.

Little mushrooms shaped like "shells" pasta cling to a mossy tree trunk.

Gangly , dangly plant bits.

ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY SHROOM!

Just some pretty moss. Showing off for you.

Neat little pasta-shaped #mushrooms encountered today. Cheers chums.

Birds nest fungi cluster on a mossy log, just being their best fuzzy little selves.

A tiny mushroom pops out of the mossy side of a log on a narrow stem, spreading a tiny umbrella of a cap. It has a companion visible farther away, slightly out of focus.

Just a feather on some leaves. There were more nearby, evidence of a bird's passing.

Happy Friday chums!

Yesterday's #BirdsNestFungi post was one of the most popular posts I've ever had since I started doing my #awalkaday things. So today I went back to that log again to get y'all some more of those #fungi.

Cheers, and stay safe out there […]

A brown puffball fungi sits under a tree, looking like a pale poo emoji. ...which I guess isn't a terribly helpful comparison to the blind, sorry. It's charming and kind of round though!

This big white mushroom stands about 8 inches tall, with a contorted cap larger than my hand.

A handful of brown striated shelf fungi grow on the side of a deep cut in a fallen log.

A collection of seeds hangs from a deciduous tree; the light of the sky behind them carefully highlights the veins in the tree's narrow leaves.

Spotted several new (to me) #fungi on today's walk. Haven't seen a puffball like this in years, and the standing pale #shroom is enormous! Trails were soggy, but the surprises are worth the squelch.

A cluster of glossy little orange snot-goobers gather on a rotting limb. One of the charming little dudes has a pale crest, probably a sign of honor.

Cloudy skies overhead, seen through reaching tree trunks.

Pallid little fingers stretch up from the forest floor.

The year's first Monday, come and gone. Today's walk featured a couple neat little fungi friends under a pale sky. Love where I live.

An electrical tower photographer from below in heavy fog. You can almost hear the static crackling of moisture on the lines.

Hey look, an audible photo! Stay warm out there humans.

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!

I cross this small creek on my lunch walks, but I don't think I've ever seen it quite this active. About a foot higher than normal (usually it's a slow 6-inch brook) and looking VERY lively.

A low-res photo of a hawk, judging you from atop a light pole. You know what you did.

Met a birb on my walk today.

Tried to get a better shot, but the little dude wasn't having any of it and relocated every time the weird hooman came within ~50 feet or so.

A look down into a hollow stump, vibrant with lush moss and lichens.

Looking across a large field, with a strip of sky in the far distance over a band of trees.

Love where I live.

Sometimes life gives you maple tree #squirrels. Those are good days.

Love watching the little dude fight to rip off each little leaf. Taking their nesting *very* seriously.
