One day I’m walking up to my studio, looking at a bare tree. Next morning, this. Our cherries are gonna be bangin’ this year. 🍒🌸

Went back for my slightly rainy trillium viewing today. This time with my phone. And yes! How observant of you! That IS a pacific bleeding heart in the background. #Cascadia #pnw #trillium #bloomscrolling #OlyWA
Just captured Whatcom Falls with a beautiful little rainbow for #WaterfallWednesday .
This handheld shot at 0.5sec was taken yesterday of the roaring waterfall in Bellingham, WA.

While on my walk in a park, I noticed a Bushtit pair-adorable, tiny fluff balls, no bigger than my thumb- busy building their nest, weaving moss and silk into a soft, dangling pouch, a sock-like structure, hanging from a thin branch.

Remember that pumped hydro project sited on a Yakama sacred site? The one the developer said would power 500K Oregon and Washington homes?? The one that was supposedly critical to meeting WA's renewable energy goals???
JK it's actually for a data center. Green colonialism has been a scam all along.
Ride across the West Seattle Bridge with me in my video covering this year’s Emerald City Ride! We were treated to a gorgeous sunny day with wonderful views of the area.

#WesternTrillium.
This is an older Western trillium, in urban forest. They're usually all white. As they get older(takes many years), you'll see shades of pink & purple petals.
Please never disturb Western trilliums in the wild. They are extremely sensitive native plants & need to be left alone to visually admire. Western trillium takes up to 15 years to flower. Once it has been picked/heavily disturbed, it dies. Please leave them growing 🙏

Relive this year’s cascade Seattle To Portland ride in my video! It was my 2nd time ever riding the STP, and I had a blast throughout the 207 mile (333 km) route.

In early 2023, I took 2 cuttings from a rose plant at Jubilee Hospital gardens. I propagated the cuttings in our front yard. I grew them for my parents. Dad passed away before any of the cuttings propagated had matured enough to bloom. This year, it's blooming a lot. This is one of the roses from that propagation.

No mountains for me this weekend. I spent a couple days communing with the lovely Elwha River valley in Olympic National Park.
I’m leading a couple of free group rides in July. Learn more about them in my July ride leader newsletter:

Everything that's currently in the Wildfire Smoke Resources doc has now been copied onto the website! https://wildfiresmokeresources.neocities.org/
If you have information or resources you would like to share--anything like info about a local mask bloc in North America, a clean air program your city government runs, a safe location with a good HVAC system where people can get out of smoky air, or even things like tree-planting programs and more long-term ways to locally combat climate change and improve air quality, please feel free to share it with me either here on Mastodon or via this Cryptpad form: https://cryptpad.fr/form/#/3/form/view/03ab8efd32850a3d5d5c376d39ed0284/ I'll add the information to both the doc and the site as soon as I can.

July Backpacking Trip 2026. After my June trip was rained out I was really looking forward to these 4 days off. Saturday I hit the slopes of Pahto (Mt Adams) with hiking buddies at 3:30am. Strong start and lovely conditions but just below the false summit one of our party began experiencing symptoms of altitude sickness and made the 100% correct call to descend immediately. Still an incredible day. Tasted mountain air and everyone lived to climb another day. Can't ask for more.

Just had to stop and take a photo of the breathtaking scenery along the route home.
Ride with me from the Space Needle in Seattle to Southcenter Mall in Tukwila, checking out interesting sites & new bike infrastructure along the way in my latest video!

Just back from a phenomenal 8 days on the Wonderland Trail with @andrewbriscoe in Mt Rainier National Park. The trail more than delivered on its name and I was continually at loss for words to describe the beauty of Tahoma. Truly she is the queen of the Cascades.
I'll fill in this thread with pictures and stories as the week goes on. For now I'm struggling to adjust to being back in civilization and NOT walking 10-11 hours a day. It is awfully nice to be clean again.
