Just before their home stream, salmon jump. Yes, it's definitely worth celebrating! Such an incredible feat of endurance and determination. Welcome back, Salmon 🐟🏞️

Bigleaf maples, singing their swan song.
Twirling, falling, rustling goodbye, goodbye, goodbye...🍂
Leaf by leaf, blanketing the ferns below, preparing them for winter's long nap.

Take care, everyone 🤝

A thunderstorm receded into a memory, leaving only this softened grace.

A memory drifted in: my late mom’s favorite Doyo (song for kids). I couldn’t recall every word, but...
"...what if a canary forgets to sing? ...Let it float on a shimmering boat in the moonlit sea; it will sing again, its song remembered."
A tenderness I’ve longed for.
Take care, everyone 🤍🫶✨

For a moment, it felt like an Alfred Hitchcock movie. Turns out, our seasonal residents are back. Welcome back, sea lions! 🙌

Oh, the Pacific Ocean. Cleanse our weary souls... 🙏
Take care, everyone. 🫶
