Now testing a #littleFedi post scheduled 24+ hours ago with more magnificent Acer macrophyllum. I will never cease to be amazed by these organisms and their (many) symbiotes.

Deer gods 🦌🙏 I love these temperate rainforests 💚

Looking up at a large maple tree beside a creek, its sprawling branches thickly covered in green moss, with bright sunlight filtering through the dense leafy canopy onto ferns and gravel along the bank.

I was impressed by these crocuses that grew through cardboard sheet mulch to reach the sun 🌷☀️

Cyanocitta stelleri like to cut off bunches of Sambucus racemosa to eat the berries in private. Not all of them are great at picking ripe bunches 😅

A cluster of unripe elderberries lies on smooth gray creek stones in bright sunlight. The berries are a mix of green, yellowish-orange, and red, attached to vivid magenta stems. A single blade of green grass crosses diagonally beside them; the rocky creek bed fills the sunlit background.

A close-up, ground-level view of an unripe elderberry cluster resting among rounded river rocks. Green and red-tinged berries branch from dark reddish-purple stems, with a few small green leaves nearby. Blurred sunlit foliage glows in the background under a strong, shallow depth of field.

I like both versions of this scene from the creek out back, but the crop of a photo can really change the feel of a scene, yeah? I typically like wider crops more, but square crops tend to work better for small screens because you don't have to ask your audience to rotate orientation for proper viewing 😅

A square-cropped close-up of a mossy fallen log extending diagonally from the bottom left corner into a shallow creek. The tight framing emphasizes the texture of the bark and the clarity of the water below, creating an immersive perspective.

A wider, landscape-oriented version of the same scene. This crop includes more of the surrounding forest canopy and riverbanks, placing the fallen log within the broader context of the lush green woodland environment.

some highlights from a recent local wander ^_^

#MossMonday #Mosstodon #Moss #NaturePhotography #PNW

a tree with a single branch running crossways in front of it, buried under a drooping layer of moss like an unkempt mustache, and the branch's shadow slicing diagonally across the tree's body; both are in bright sunlight, the surrounding forest in much darker shade

#MountainMonday #hiking #PNW
We went on a 3 day, 2 night backpacking trip last week in the Olympic NP at Grand Valley. Down Badger Valley where marmots whistled in the meadows to Moose Lake where many deer came to investigate our campsite, and then the next day to Grand Pass with glorious views to the valleys beyond. At night we heard owls calling back and forth across the lake. Returned before the rain started.
