I’m testing a post from the Flashes app. This was a trail near Hurricane Ridge in Olympic National Park.
A dusty trail through a meadow. Green grass and white buckwheat below evergreens just beyond the top of the ridge. A striated rocky peak in the distance below a light blue sky with white clouds.

Has Bluesky improved the quality of video? Testing with this elk in North Bend.

The ‘big beautiful bill’ mandates the sale of millions of acres of public land. These are photos from trails in areas that could be sold. These lands should remain available for public enjoyment.

I recommend calling your representative to oppose the bill. 5calls.org/issue/public...
Mountain ridges with rocks and evergreens. A small lake in the lower right. Clouds and blue sky overhead. (Maple Pass, Washington) A small lake with a tiny island in it. Evergreens and talus slopes around it. Blue sky and clouds. (Maple Pass, Washington) Trunk and branches of a red cedar in the foreground. Water cascading down rock catching the light in the back. Clear sky and mountain beyond. (Bridal Veil Falls, Washington.) A wind-rippled green lake with a few sunbleached logs below towering rocky peaks. Evergreens and patches of snow line the talus field between them. Clear blue sky overhead. (Lake Serene, Washington.)

Product idea: Panavision phones. Someone needs to figure out an ergonomically appropriate mobile device on which my landscape photos look good.

Past Little Ranger peak, I attempted to hike through a section of forest burned in the 2017 Norse Peak Fire. After 20 minutes and about as many scrapes and bruises, I gave up on climbing through all the blowdowns. But not before seeing this Ptarmigan!
A ptarmigan in profile facing left, sitting on the charred branch of a Douglas fir. It has an orange eyebrow, but the rest of its feathers are brown and white. It has a drab ornateness.

If you see this, post a photo from your device, no explanation.
Black and white drawing on grey toned paper. Two cats seated close together, tails overlapping. Text on the card says, “Happy Valentine’s Day! Love, A”

In an extraordinary display of public support, heads of state, heads of government, and foreign ministers from all over Europe and Canada are posting in support of Ukraine in response to the Oval Office meeting with Trump, Zelenskyy, and Vance.

A friend and I are walking around Lake Washington (in four ~15-mile chunks.) Spotted this by the NOAA office today.
A sign taped to a pole with a picture of an eagle, a flag, and the US capitol building with text “We will not resign. Sincerely, Local Federal Workers”

I got yelled at by a squirrel on the Pratt River trail.
Blue sky, snowy mountains in golden morning light, evergreens and snow in shadow in the foreground Snow-covered mountains in the distance; a river with snow along the banks in the shadowy foreground Sunlight peeking through evergreens and highlighting a hiking trail through the snow A rocky, snow-covered peak in the distance under a clear blue sky. A snow-traced bridge over a river below it. Evergreens on either side of it.

This picture has really summed up the past few weeks for me. This is a worker painting over a diversity mural at the FBI Academy.

I spent perhaps the last sunny day in Washington for a bit along the Skagit River. Saw bald eagles, killdeer, merganser, an American Dipper, a deeply incompetent presidential administration wasting government resources on hateful legislation, crows, robins, buffleheads, and one (1) opossum.
The sun peaks out through leafless trees, lighting up a shaft of steam over a river bend. Frost-covered vegetation in the foreground, mountains and blue sky beyond. A feather stands oddly upright between round stones in the ice along the edge of a river. Eagle tracks in damp sand. A possum walking on a stony river edge, headed toward the refuge of a grassy bank.

Here are various frozen things I saw on the trail today. (1/3)
Blue sky, faint clouds, snowcapped mountains, evergreens with a layer of frost gleaming in the sun, some dark moss and branches in between Thick icicles forming on rocks and branches in a stream Sharp tendrils of ice extending from a sheet of ice over a stream “Hair ice” extruding from a branch with leaves, moss, and other branches on the forest floor

This is one of the coolest nurse logs I’ve seen. It basically has a small forest on it.

I had a fun misty morning along the Carbon River today.
Several logs with large rootballs in the rocky, mostly dry Carbon River. A misty day with gray clouds and a hint of mountains in the distance. A black-tailed deer in the middle of a dirt road overhung with mossy evergreens. A riverbed, mostly dry, with blue, red, white, and gray stones. Evergreens, clouds, and a tantalizing glimpse of blue sky beyond. Feathers, perhaps grouse, covered in dew droplets, on brown and green cedar needles.

Colored pencil sketches based on photos of stump houses from the heyday of logging in the PNW.
A sketchbook page of four stump houses - huge Douglas fir stumps with slat roofs, doors, and chimneys - drawn in blue colored pencil.

Scenes from today’s hike along the Snoqualmie river.
A slender trail of muddy earth passes through light green moss, beside a fallen tree’s root ball, through a forest of straight evergreens. A hiking trail through evergreens growing from a moss-covered forest floor. A tiny white piece of hanging moss dangling from wet, red branches in front of dark ferns. A river, blue in the center and capped with white foam, pours over large rocks.
