Finding hearts among the cactus was a favorite game in Mesa, AZ. 🌵💚 #plantlover #cactus #photography

Is there anything sweeter than the unfurling of baby fern fronds? Maybe, but in this moment, it makes my heart melt. 🪴💚

No fungus on today's hike but instead the lovely glow of fresh, new moss growing on the trees.

Where are my fellow 1975'ers at?! I am actually pretty stoked to turn 50 towards the end of the year. How rad is it that we have lived half our life in the 20th century and now half in the 21st?? Think of the amazing changes #GenX has witnessed! What do you think about 50?

Found a mushroom in my parent's lawn and wanted to get the ant perspective. #fungus #naturegirl #mushrooms

Gorgeous day snowshoeing on the Mckenzie! The perfect way to say good bye to 2024. ❄️

My kitty with the extra toes was very cozy this morning. It was hard to leave for a 9.5 hour day instead of just curling up beside her. 😺

Yeti for this sweet pupper? My Avery needed sleeves to protect an area she was licking and the baby department is much less expensive than dog clothes! 😁

The last of the glorious fall foliage and the winter sun shining through the leaves. 💛🍂

Came across this little beauty, amethyst deceiver, while hiking last week in the mid Willamette Valley in Oregon.
