Seattle sunsets these last couple nights.

There’s a fire next to Lake Cushman in the Olympics. Bad air quality but epic sunsets!

#seattle #sunsets #sailboat #olympicsfire
Red sun in the sky paints the landscape red. There are faint Olympic Mountains in the distance and the puget sound Elliot Bay in front. An anchored freighter boat sits in the center of the suns lit path across the water. Red sun in the sky paints the landscape red. There are faint Olympic Mountains in the distance only made visible through the thick smokey haze of the wildfires by backlighting from the sun. Red sun paints the sky red. While the dusking light paints the hills and water dusty grey blue. There are faint Olympic Mountains in the distance and the puget sound Elliot Bay in front. An anchored freighter boat, a traveling tugboat, and a sail boat, rest in the dusking sea. Red sun in the sky paints the landscape red as it ducks behind the mountains.

Lemon balm, fringed willowherb, and selfheal in our lunch ramen. The lemon balm adds a zesty lemon flavor!

PNW foraging in recent weeks?

Fringed Willow-Herb: garden had tons, added it to soup.

Wavy Bittercress: Abundant in the disturbed woods nearby, also souped.

Japanese Knotweed: pie & sauté. When salted it tastes like pickled grape leaf!

Winter-cress: sampled on the trails. Great salad green!
From left side of image to right: fringed willow-herb then wavy bittercress in the red bowl. Then japanese knotweed in the silver bowl. This is winter-cress.

I am absolutely obsessed with this piece of petrified wood. LOOK AT THAT FREAKING CELL STRUCTURE! 😍

This is a Damon Point find. The tumble turned out glossy. It was 1 week each for the first three tumble steps then 3 weeks with sugar/polish for the finish.

Trying one experiment with my mushroom growing set up. We have endless Himalayan blackberries around us. So if I kill the vines/leafs and use them as feed will it work well? We’ll see.

Do any of my rock people know what this stuff is? Both chunks found along the Willamette river.

Bubbly textured brown rocks. One piece is larger than the other fairly uniform color, smooth texture.

This is for my rockhounds and gardeners. I put a brewers pad in my greenhouse to keep it warm, then I realized I could solve two problems at once by putting my rock tumbler in the green house instead. Now my rock tumbler AND my tomatoes won’t freeze.

Let me show you what I look for in the wild when searching for circular or orbicular patterned rhyolites.

The ones here were found in Washington and Oregon. Orbicular rhyolites can be harder to spot due to their rougher looking exteriors.

That time we did a photoshoot, where the only light in the room was a china ball sitting on the floor in the closet.

I didn’t want to spend another four years fighting nazi’s, but here we are.

Don’t let them normalize their hate & greed. Their god will not forgive them their sins they won’t acknowledge.

A portrait @seanthedandy.bsky.social and I set up in the fern canyon on our honeymoon. Our outfits took 6 months for me to make. We’ve been together for 18 years now which is nearly half our lifetimes.

May we have many more adventures to come. ❤️

I need to make animatic that shows the attempts we made and changes of pose that led to this shot. It took a good long while for the pose, dress, and water to all come together. Modeled by my sister.

A candelabra shoot at twilight. Photo taken by @seanthedandy.bsky.social

This shoot was also done with our photographer friends Lauren Zurchin & Maria Greely. So many great shots I will sure be sharing more!

More shots of it dry. This one almost has a bone like texture, porous. (But I did not lick it this time. 😂)

When you pick up what you think is an interesting looking piece of quartzite and then realize later that it’s a subtle piece of petrified wood! 🙌

The rain and ocean spray was spitting in sideways that day and covering my glasses. I was pretty texture blind at the time. 😆
