We don’t get a lot of reptiles in the Seattle area, so it was fun showing my kids this little guy in Oregon!

Was on the afternoon tour of the Puget Sound Express and saw the T137 pod catch two harbor porpoise, flipping one several feet in the air. Also saw a humpback - absolutely fantastic tour. Never expected to see that. These are just photos from my iPhone. Nice sunset too!

We lost Emma Thursday morning. She had a good, normal last day - played with a doggie friend, went for a walk, ate lots of treats and had plenty of snuggles. She passed peacefully and naturally, at 15 1/2 years old.
She was the best dog, and left a big hole. Hug your doggie for us.

Beautiful native plants, Henderson’s Checkermallow in foreground with fireweed blooming in background. Pearly Everlasting also but it’s not blooming yet.

I have this crow with a deformity that has taken residence in our yard. Despite its beak it seems to be in a bonded pair, preens, and feeds easily. I wonder what caused it?

I was taking a photo of ceanothus in bloom, and accidentally caught a mid-flight bumble ❤️

Clean air and clean water are for everyone, and the ability to spend time in natural spaces is essential.

I don’t remember the Mt. St. Helen’s eruption 45 years ago today, since I was two weeks old. But I did find this bottle of Jim Bean in my local buy nothing group to commemorate it.

I take care of my neighbor’s puppy (mini golden) while they’re at work. Emma, my 15 year old husky mix, makes him nervous... She just wants to play *poke poke*

Sunshine on a cloudy day.
I’m always torn about having a feeder, but it’s so nice having the birds up close. When my kids’ friends are over, it’s sometimes like it’s the first time they’ve seen a bird up close!

My daughter has always loved dandelions, probably because they are the only ones I let her pick. I hope that it never changes. #bloomscrolling
