What am I about? Foremost, my passion is loving and understanding the American West. I've been lucky to inhabit and explore a lot of its less familiar corners. This is a tiny sample representing four of my particular fascinations: wild rivers, geology, the Inland Northwest and the Great Basin.
I love the slightly sinister botanical chaos here!

Quite a ways from there, but I definitely see what you mean, parts of Washington definitely can have vibes Montana/Idaho vibes.

I was hoping for some late December photography luck, but not this year. Upside: for once I have my annual favorites collection posted on New Years Day:

Just now realizing how flippin enormous Beelzebufo’s head was. The one on the right is an African bullfrog.

Endless inside-the-beltway coverage, large doses of sanewashing, then a break to reminisce for 20 minutes about when everyone saw Annie Hall in the theater... yeah, I still like some of what my local station does, but I'm not finding national NPR a great value anymore.

I'm still hoping for one more for the favorites post - I often have good luck at the end of December.

My other thought is that "experienced" should mean you've actually seen some shit. Having taken 15 trips in great conditions where nothing went wrong is... not nothing I suppose, but it's definitely not experience in risk management or problem solving.

Ex-whitewater guide here. Good piece! I just don't get people's aversion to safety gear. I love my PFD, it's badass, comfortable and I enjoy swimming with it. And I know that despite a lot of experience, I am not in fact a "strong swimmer" (no one is in a whitewater river). cont...

I definitely have the Harris hawk moments. And also the scary movie snakes that turn out to be ball pythons.

Yeah, I recall my uncle buying us lunch in Santa Barbara and saying basically straight up that my grandpa's house was paying for his California retirement plus my meal. Then he said I couldn't go wrong with real estate 🙄 On the plus side, the mussels were pretty good.

Victorians were weird, but sometimes in a good way.
I’m fond of these little creatures wishing us “Peace, Joy, Health, Happiness”:

When we lived in the western Great Basin, we'd cut single leaf pinyons for Christmas. They tended to be about as wide as they were tall. They were good trees, though - for one thing, they're so drought resistant, they'd probably last till Easter.
