Sun dropping behind a sandstone butte near Moab. That backlit edge where light wraps around the rock is the whole shot.

Another horizon worth chasing.

Visited the historic Northwest Railway Museum, built in 1890 and looked charming in Spring settings.
Snoqualmie, WA

The charming Northwest Railway Museum (NRM) built in 1890 is nestled under the blooming branches of a cherry blossom tree, with soft pink flowers contrasting against the rustic, vintage architecture in Snoqualmie, Washington.
It is the oldest continuously operating train station in the state of Washington and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
Today tourists can take the train from the Depot to the top of Snoqualmie Falls, then to North Bend and back. A new period-appropriate (and very ornate) cedar shingle roof was completed in 2024.

Edit: this Toot will get edited when new tags are shared.

A vintage-style sepia photograph, presented as if on a film strip with sprocket holes and artificial scratches, captures a concentrated moment. Cynni is crouching on natural, rocky terrain among sparse bushes at Burgers' Zoo, fully focused on framing a picture. They look intently through the viewfinder of a black Nikon Coolpix P500 digital bridge camera, which they hold firmly with both hands. Their expression is one of deep concentration as they peer through the lens. Their left arm, featuring a complex stylized text tattoo, is bent, and a few rings are visible on their fingers gripping the camera body. They wear a dark short-sleeved t-shirt, camouflage cargo pants, and a dark baseball cap with white sunglasses perched on top. A Nikon-branded camera strap hangs around their neck. The background is a natural-looking zoo enclosure with other blurred figures of visitors visible in the far distance. The composition is a candid, close-up shot emphasizing their focus.

Baudelaire's Mistress (Portrait of Jeanne Duval), 1862. By Manet.

Manet shows Jeanne Duval reclining on a green sofa or chaise lounge, wearing a voluminous white crinoline dress and holding a green fan. Her dark hair and direct gaze create a striking contrast with the white dress. The background features decorative wallpaper or fabric panels.

On this #FlashbackFriday look back at the historic solar storm of May 10th last year, a rare, magical alignment of Big Dipper with the dazzling Corona Borealis.

We were witnessing a historic, dazzling auroral display on May 10th, 2024 at Lake Sammamish in Redmond, Washington, where the Northern Lights captivated and mesmerized the onlookers with their vivid colors and fast moving formations.
The dancing ribbons of light surrounded, enveloped us with vibrant colors, sometimes radiating directly overhead where the Big Dipper’s seven bright stars aligned with the Coronae (Corona Borealis or crown), a rare event, indeed.
The Corona is the most impressive type of aurora, when rays or rayed bands pass overhead to converge to a point to form a crown or corona. So we looked overhead and the aurora rays appeared to originate from one single point and radiated outwards, in alignment with Big Dipper.
Words escape me to describe how mind-blowing was this otherworldly, once in a lifetime experience, to witness the vivid display of the aurora borealis as the lights filled the night sky with swirls of purple and blue hues.
The natural phenomenon created an ethereal atmosphere, conveying the beauty of Earth's geomagnetic interactions with solar particles.

This is the shape of birdsong. Because the bird is a Red-winged Blackbird, it's also the shape of swearing.

Smurfs Log: Lucky

* Not only was I lucky enough to see a stoat up close today (see previous post), but this afternoon I finally found some of those tiny, fluffy, woolly creatures other people have been spotting. This one was kind enough to bring her two little lambs with her, too.

What is this? A fine salad green!
Miner's lettuce (Claytonia perfoliata) is really going to town! It is very tasty when freshly picked.
#Photography #SeattleWashington #SeattleParks #SeattleSpring #NativePlants #NativePlantsOfThePNW #BloomScrolling
I may plant it next winter along with my mache

A messy mass of miner's lettuce fills the frame. The rounded spoon shaped leaves are pretty much hidden by the abundant painters palette shaped, green and fleshy bracts showcasing a cluster of about 5 or so tiny white flowers and flower buds at the center. The flowers are star shaped with 5 petals.

This plant is edible as a salad green. If you forage, you should pick it as far off trail as possible.

Ring a Ring o'Roses.

Three carp dance in a triangle almost breaking the surface of a glass-like pond. Their crimson and white markings contrast with the monochrome silken depths. The image is split diagonally in two with the fish in the lower left half. A row of trees, leafless and brittle occupy the upper half of the scene.

There is not a single ripple. Carp suspended in play.

Kindness doesn’t always show up when I expect it. I’m learning I can’t control that—only how much space I give it, and who I choose to remain.

When I was a teenager, Dad and I were at a grocery store checkout where the cashier was having a hard day. Dad met her with kindness anyway,. I asked him how he could do that and he told me, “Her bad mood doesn’t have to change who I am.”

I’ve carried that lesson with me ever since. Some days it’s easier than others. But it’s still the way I want to move through the world.

This photograph was taken nearly twenty years ago at Tahquamenon Falls, on a cold winter day when the footing wasn’t easy. Dad was always willing to come along when I headed out with the camera. I think of it now as a reminder that I’m still walking with his guidance, even now.

A man wearing a bright orange knit hat, camouflage jacket, dark snow pants, and winter boots climbs a wooden staircase with railings through a forest at Tahquamenon Falls State Park. Snow covers the ground on both sides of the steps, and evergreen and leafless trees surround the walkway on a cold winter day.
