The last day of August found me riding through a cathedral of Bigleaf Maples, on the South Skagit Highway, beside the gorgeous, sinuous Skagit River.

45 years ago today, Mount St. Helens erupted. The anniversary of that eruption is celebrated as Cascadia Day, a day chosen to join together to celebrate, educate, and raise awareness of #Cascadia and bioregionalism. Good day for a bike ride too.

I met most of my #pinhole photography posse on Txitter, but that has decomposed into a feculent stew of hate, so many of us have come here.
Here's us making exposures today, on Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day.

A quick out-and-about, riding between the raindrops, ducking beneath the wind.
Confession, I never cared for the desert-turquoise hits of color on this MASI frame. Until I got a carpet, in the form of a water bottle, that tied the room together.

Spring Legs on the Cascade Trail. A perfect spring day, drenched my feet in a creek crossing, and met a Trail Pig. A banquet of spring smells.

La Connor, on the Swinomish channel, has a charming waterfront. City fathers recently made 1st Street one way, which puts northbound traffic over a hill above the waterfront on 2nd St.

A winter sunset, Cypress Island, and the San Juan Islands, and a Washington State Ferry.

Here's My Little Pony, a 2004 Surly 1x1 singlespeed. I built it up new with Clydesdale 36h wheels, and it's been a favorite. It now has a Rohloff 14 speed internal gear hub and CF 650b wheels, and it's going to carry me for another 20 years.

I don't give a shit about football. And I never saw "Rocky".
But I did go for a fantastic #bike ride today on this chilly, windy Sunday.

I make a lot of soups. This is a chicken vegetable, about which, I am very excited. Thighs, since you asked... Best damn part of a fucking yardbird. Also carrots, potatoes, sorry, garlic, potatoes, zucchinis, cabbage, bay leaf, peas, corn, green beans. Giving away secrets here.

Celebrated Governor Ferguson's inauguration at the Washington State Capitol last night. Great food, great crowd, great music, no fascism at all. None. It can be done!
