Good heavens, I can still log into Second Life. Scary.

“Hidden Gem”

As far as I can tell this 30-foot waterfall on Hazel Creek is too insignificant to show on any maps. We’re spoiled in this state. I’d like to get a better picture some day, but that will take substantial work to get down the super-steep slope (and back up!).

Just a mushroom from somewhere up FR 500 a few miles back from Hardesty Trailhead.

In Memoriam (and just as relevant today)

“Toothy”

I’m pretty sure this is a toothwort. Even if I’m wrong about that, it’s still pretty.

“Just Waiting for the Fly”

Fungus at a local hiking trail.

“Almost There”

The Pacific Hound’s-Tongue on Mt. Pisgah will be blooming in a couple of days.

“Green Fungus”

This is the actual natural color, not post-processed. Even the fungus around here grows moss!

“Catkins”

When it works, I really like the look of macro flash photography.

“Behind the Scenes”

This morning on my desktop.

Just playing around with a geode on my desktop.

“Tiny Mushroom With Tinier Fly”

“Damp Bloom”

I dunno what kind of tree this is, and I wish I had blue sky behind it instead of gray, but overall I’m pretty happy with the way this shot turned out.

Echoes on a blade of grass.

“Silenced”

Is it really a bell tower if the bell is permanently wired into place?

“Fish!”

Suspish is Eugene’s most recognizable graffiti artist.

Spring is starting to spring in my garden. Today we have an early iris bloom.

There was a time when I zealously followed livestreams of Apple events. Now the only way I know new devices have launched is through micro.blog comments. Overall, I’m happy that I’ve managed to disconnect from the tech world.
