Forest Friday @forestfriday.bsky.social · May 8
A forest-focused Bluesky account ought to have a photo of ... well ... a forest.

So, here we are.

The 1st 📷 I posted to my main account after migrating here. Apropos that it's the opener on the #ForestFriday page, too.

A chilly & foggy fall morning on the slopes of Mount Rainier.

Happy Trails✌️
This is the first forest photo I posted on Bluesky. March 18th. Just days after migrating over from the former bird app. 🐦 Well before I decided to make #ForestFriday a project. The photo is from a hike on the slopes of Mount Rainier. November of 2024. It was a chilly but crystal clear fall morning. Excellent lighting. Description: A row of three evergreen tree trunks to the left. More of the forest and a glimpse of blue sky can be seen in the background. There are ferns along the forest floor. Happy trails, my friends ✌️

#Kyoto seems a paradise for anybody who enjoys the intersection of gardens, old architecture, forests, ponds and nature's aesthetics. I'll barely touch the surface on my stay here, but no doubt will want to come back. From the Toji Temple.

Since I'm in town anyway, one more from the #Kyoto gardens before beginning the next round of visits here looking for #Fall colors shortly. This was a garden in the forest at a pond in #Kyoto at Toji Temple, again from yesterday, for #ForestFriday.

Chimacum Ridge Community Forest, newly opened to the public. Jefferson Land Trust bought this property on Washington State's Olympic Peninsula from a developer, and put it into conservation. #forestfriday

Returning to myself ..

It's been a long week, but I'm learning how to feel relaxed and safe in my own body.

Follow the path, lit by your passion, to the ocean of opportunity. First you must forage and fend your way forward, through the forest of life's evergreens. There's lessons to learn, among the thickets and ferns, on the road to the sparkling sea. Take your time, walk with wonder, and let your dreams wander, in this wilderness scenery.

Bear stumbled into a forest where apparently the plants can get quite friendly at night 🌼

There are brains down there, ones our own brains aren’t shaped to see. Root plasticity, solving problems and making decisions. Fungal synapses. What else do you want to call it? Link enough trees together, and a forest grows aware.”💚

Some unusual looking and attractively red-glowing bark trees that I came across walking through the #Kyoto Gyoen National Garden park yesterday, for #ForestFriday.

An Unfettered View
This is a shot of the fenced #Pond taken through one diamond shaped link. The water is glowing green with plant life. Ducks have taken off from here twice when I was there but they are SO fast, I missed a capture both times. #PNW #ForestFriday #Photography

“It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit.”💚

Utah's Scenic Byway 12 lived up to its All-American Road status of being a "destination unto itself". A scene near Boulder depicts some of its diverse landscape.

Hairy bracket (trametes hirjuta)💚

In folk art, the uniquely zoned and hairy cap of Trametes hirsuta made it a favored object in decorative woodwork coatings or arrangements.

Group of polypore mushroom shown in the image is Trametes hirsuta, commonly known as the Hairy bracket or Hairy polypore.The fungi have a semicircular, shelf-like shape with distinct concentric zones of color, ranging from white to grayish-brown and green. The green hue is often due to a coating of algae.
