Picked up this short but resonant read from a little free library. Spagna’s essays on finding home in the wilderness, the grit of trail work, and unexpected queer love felt both relatable and deeply comforting. 💙📚 #booksky

Diversity is a fact: All kinds of people exist.
Equity is a goal: All kinds of people deserve a chance at success.
Inclusion is how we get to equity. By including them, they can achieve success.
It's that simple.

I wish I could remember where I found this waterfall. Most likely somewhere near Mt Baker in the North Cascades.

Nakalele Point was born 1.3 million years ago from lava flows of the West Maui Volcano. Its basalt cliffs now stand against relentless waves, sculpted into jagged coastlines and a striking pitted texture that tells the story of time and erosion. #rockintuesday #nature #maui #volcano

Laccaria laccata, aka the “Deceiver,” gets its name from its ever-changing look. Found in forests & heathlands, it teams up with Pines, Birch & Beech, thriving in poor soil. Found on my neighborhood hike. #fungifriends #nature #hiking #getoutside

Always enjoyed finding a ton of interesting fungi configurations on my hikes. These oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) were going strong in June. #nature #hiking #pnw #fungifriends #getoutside
