My home-to-trailhead vehicle has been unreliable of late, so my “fall color” adventures have been local (image #1). Image #2 is from a hike in the Washington Cascades in 2021. #photography #landscapes #hiking #fall #autumn #pacificnorthwest

Several days ago I had a plan to head to the mountains to hike to a high and fairly remote spot I know to photograph fall colors. Unfortunately , mechanical problems with my truck kept me at home, but the very next day I was walking country roads near my home and this scene presented itself.

A friend generously gifted me a kayak he wasn’t using and this week @leahwantstogarden.bsky.social made this picture of me on my first time out, paddling in a tranquil bay of the Salish Sea. #kayak #salishsea #pacificnorthwest #washingtonstate

It was a good week to spend time in Leah’s garden, habitat for all kinds of wee beasties, and, for me, a reliable retreat. @leahwantstogarden #gardening #solace #habitat #nature #photography #naturephotography #environment

Proud to share that my bipartisan TERRA Act received a committee hearing today, bringing it one step closer to passage! This bill cuts red tape for Tribal Nations to access federal resources to be climate resilient and prepared, like rising seas washing away communities on the Olympic Peninsula. 🌊

Smoke in the atmosphere from several late summer wildfires made for otherworldly — even beautiful? — golden light at sunset last evening. Fortunately the air quality is not too bad (“moderate” is what the weather service says) and the forecast is for cool, rainy days ahead.

The Cascade Mountains of Washington and Oregon have been my playground for decades, but, because family has recently moved to Canada, I’m now beginning to set my sights on the Canadian Rockies. Oh my! #Canada #Canadianrockies #photography #landscapephotography #blackandwhite #monochrome

Sometimes she says she is a ballerina, while other times — like when she’s wearing a dress like this — I’d bet she is playing Princess. At all times, her Grandpa thinks she is a wonder and can be whatever she wants to be. #photography #granddaughter #childhood #imagination #family #diary #grandpa

A roadtrip this week to British Columbia and Alberta to visit family took me through the Canadian Rockies. Though I just returned home to Washington state, I’m already looking forward to many more trips north when I plan to take my mountain bike, hiking boots, snowshoes, and cross country skis.

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee:
“Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.
