You can find me hiking the PNW looking for fossils and unique gems to cut and polish. I only post materials I've found myself.

I found this Desmostylus second molar on a hike. It's now on display at the Museum of Natural and Cultural History at the University of Oregon. Have you ever found a cool fossil? I definitely want to hear about it.
#bloomscrolling #flower I think this is called a Camellia. November flowers are surprising.

Love you, Gaudium. Please stop eating all the bread and crackers in the house. You are an obligate carnivore.

This seems like an especially beautiful present from the Earth. I hope somebody is kind to you today.

#insectthursday if I have one piece of life advice for anyone, it is to look at something that the Earth made today. And then maybe take a second to look even closer. Everything else I see appears to be warring and waste. Maybe take the time to feed someone today. It's hard out there.

Took a hike after work today and found a dead whale. I think it was a humpback. Yes, I reported it. 2025 remains in a state of complete fuckery.

When I was a girl there were so many of these terrible pretend rules about what we should and shouldn't do. I wish I had a time machine so I could go back and tell little girl me that she would be cutting up rocks, and looking inside them. 💚

The porpoise vertebrae that I've been working on with a mild acid prep have been producing unusually colorful aragonite crystals. These were taken outdoors with no filter of any kind. I have 2 prior posts if you care to check out the progress.

Innocent Gaudium had to have a bath because his roommate Isaiah Mr Meow Meow the Adventure Kitty makes bad choices.

It has been a really good Wild Carrot year from the Willamette Valley to the Coast. I love you, #Oregon.

Life emerging. Such a fascinating process, no matter the species. I was not able to identify this little #larva. Here is a glimmer of #life on the MacKenzie River in #Oregon.

Have you met Akamaru and Goudium? They found me in the garage, and then this sweetness ensued. Kitty misses doggy when he goes out of town. #caturday #dogs #husky #wholesome #friendship

Yesterday after work I crossed the coastal range to go visit the #sea. This #green chalcedony nodule is a rare treasure! 💚🍀💚 I posted the backlit image a few hours ago. 👀 #hiking #pnw #rockhound #lapidary #nature #green #ocean

#beauty #green #rockhounding #nature #hiking This evening's hike was wet, windy, exhilarating, perfect. This lovely green chalcedony nodule appeared in a little coastal creek as light was fading. 🫶🏼💚

After work I drove out of town to visit parts of the Willamette River that feel like home. Beyond the birds you can hear the faint hum of two small tractors moving the hazelnut harvest. #relax #river #hiking #oregon #nutella #pnw #fall #autumn #dusk

#FlyDay #EastCoastKin #butterfly #paintedlady #bugsofbluesky #oregon #nature Becoming a butterfly is some gruelling business. What I saw these creatures go through,,,WOW. 4 painted ladies released next to the McKenzie River in OR.
