Here's a couple more blurry photos. It was about the size of a loaf of banana bread, too big for a rat, nearly the size of a football. The blunt head and lack of a tail are pretty definitive. You can't see in the photos but its tiny eyes gave it an expression like I'd woken it up from a nap. #bigfoot #PNW #Washington #cryptid #WildLife #wildlifephotography

The funny thing is that I didn't see this mountain beaver in any of our vast wilderness areas or national parks. It was in Saltwater State Park in suburban Des Moines Washington! Looking it up online it seems my experience is typical. Although they are fairly common, almost no one ever sees mountain beavers in action. Here's a Seattle Times article with more info. https://www.seattletimes.com/pacific-nw-magazine/the-pacific-northwests-elusive-mountain-beaver/

It's not exactly a #bigfoot sighting, but maybe the next closest thing.... I saw a mountain beaver! They're not actually beavers, but a kind of "living fossil" rodent that's found only in the #PNW. I've been been hiking #Washington for literally decades, and known about them for almost that long, but this is the first time I've actually laid eyes on one. And yes like all good #cryptid photos these are blurry. #WildLife #wildlifephotography

This year we are having a yard service do the mowing, which means cutting back some of the day lilies to allow a riding mower to get around the house. Decided to transplant them down by the lake. #gardening #Bloomscrolling #midwest #illinois

Made my spring trip back to the old homestead in Illinois last week. Some spring flowers. 1: Fothergilla. 2: sassafrass flowers. 3: these double flowered narcissus came from my great grandmother's house. 4: an azalea shrub that managed to survive February's deep freeze.

Snowy Rainier part 7. As the day warmed up to about 45F (7C), all that fresh snow on the branches started to melt so coming back down was pretty much like hiking in the rain. Here's Lake Eleanor on the way up vs on the way down, with the snow gone. A good portion of that snow ended up dripping down the back of my neck. But it was well worth it, seeing The Mountain this close in its full winter coat. (No mountain lions, though).

Snowy Rainier part 6. And yes, I remembered correctly! This is Grand Park, a mile long meadow on the North side of the peak, at about 5,000 feet. In the summer this place is covered in wildflowers. And tourists. Now I've got it all to myself. Only one other person came this way. And one elk (I think those are elk tracks?). I just stood there for a good 40 minutes just gawking at the mountain and ignoring my wet feet.

More work from the ceramic invitational at the Museum of Northwest Art in LaConner, WA. I don't usually like the type of very Junguan expressionism that Daniel Duford trades in, but I spent a good long while with this installation and I found it charming, almost nostalgic (it reminded me of so much art from the 90s, but that's just me). That coyote in the painting is going to haunt me for a while.

More work from the ceramic invitational at the Museum of Northwest Art in LaConner, WA. Ariana Heinan (photo 1) makes these big ceramic and steel pieces with intensely colored but ultra-flat finishes. I've seen Holly Hudson's work (photo 2) at Seattle Art Fair; I love her playful manipulation of negative space here.

I spent a very rainy Sunday at the Museum of Northwest Art in LaConner, WA. The current show is an invitational of Northwest ceramic sculptors and I was especially keen on seeing these exquisite pieces by Patty Warashina. I've liked her work for years, but this is really kicking it up a notch. Look how well placed and well lit it is, too--like it was made for this spot. The show runs though May.

Along with #leavetheleaves, another way you can help wildlife in your garden is not to cut everything down right away. Standing dead vegetation provides overwintering habitat for pollinators and other insects (some even nest in the hollow plant stems) and foraging opportunities for birds. Here I'm channeling my inner Piet Oudolf a bit but I always leave these plants standing in my garden--they will look great with a dusting of snow. #gardening #autumn #WildLife #birds #pollinators

This time of year you may be wondering "how do I get these wet leaves off my sidewalks?" You can't blow them off, the rake doesn't work.
This works. It's the old fashioned type of broom that's been used in Asia for centuries. Stuff enough to move the leaves but dense enough that they don't slip through. You can find them at some garden centers. They're made in Sri Lanka and they're also biodegradable because they're completely made of plant matter. #gardening #autumn #leaves #leavetheleaves -
I have a lot of leaves, more than my beds can handle. so I compost some directly in a compost pile. For the rest I enlist some help from the Ladies. They are terribly curious about anything new and find a leaf pile pretty entertaining.
They'll spend all winter shredding these leaves and by spring they'll be fine black mulch. It also makes the run less muddy and that keeps their feet and their roosts a little cleaner in the coop.

Here in the Pacific Northwest, leaf mulching your perennial beds also helps them by slowing down the velocity of rain hitting the soil, so that water soaks in slowly. This helps prevent erosion and nutrient loss in the soil.
We have a lot of half-hardy plants here, that benefit from protection from the occasional hard freeze. act as a blanket for the plant roots, protecting them from freezing too hard, specially when there's no snow.

"Leaving the leaves" means leaving them on your property, especially if the alternative is a landfill. I don't have an actual lawn, but I do have wide grassy pathways between garden beds. Mostly I just use them as mulch in the perennial beds.
These leaves have insect eggs and pupae in them. Most insects are beneficial for your garden. And those are essential food for birds. Especially for the baby birds that will arrive in Spring.

It's leaf raking season (at least here in the #PNW) and there's been a big campaign by the National Wildlife Federation to #leavetheleaves . Recently one of my favorite podcasts, In Defense of Plants, did an interview with NWF naturalist David Mizejewski to explain what that means.
https://www.indefenseofplants.com/podcast/2025/10/21/ep-549-advocating-for-fallen-leaves
The biggest misconception is that this means leaving leaves on your lawn. No, it doesn't. Leaf buildup on your turf grass will damage it.

Please read this excellent post and understand that many of our tech leaders are steeped in cultic thinking that allows them to justify any atrocity they foist onto us in the present by claiming that they're doing it to improve the lives of trillions of future humans in a pan-galactic civilization thousands of years from now. No, I am not exaggerating. Read the article. #AI #claude #effectivealtruism
