  1. It took me a long time to work out what people were talking about when they mentioned "Fireweed". This is because I have always known this beautiful wildflower as Rosebay willowherb. It's very good at turning disused land into a wildlife haven.

  2. Morning, in the lazy man’s garden.
    She is in her moment of dishabille, the bright flowers of early summer slipping off the shoulders to reveal another kind of beauty. It’s a rich and mature beauty that invites ravishing by the lazy man’s eyes and heart.

  3. I hope everyone in my neighborhood loves #fireweed as much as I do, because they may be getting some whether they want it or not.

  4. This is fireweed, a rather glorious #NativePlant that appears in profusion in my yard each year. It's taller than you are! I've read that parts of it are edible, so I'm going to try some nibbles to see if it might become a part of my salads.

  5. Next in my Canada 🇨🇦 series: the Yukon. The symbols of the Yukon, its official bird, the Raven & its flower, fireweed cover the hand-carved map of the Yukon in this linocut. The block was inked ‘à la poupée’ (with different colours, pink-magenta and black in different areas) and printed by hand on lovely Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper.

    The raven is the largest member of the crow family 🧵

    I hope one day to visit!

  6. #ArtAdventCalendar Day 13: I do have some recurring themes in my art. #Fireweed & #Bees are two big ones (and one of these days, I’m going to perfect my bumblebees!).

    Now, I really must excuse myself and go panic-paint for the Morris Thompson Cultural & Visitors Center Holiday Bazaar this weekend…

  7. My favorite "weed" that has grown in our backyard this year is definitely a #FireWeed plant that has been consistently putting out beautiful #flowers and has lovely interesting leaves.

  8. In case you wondered what moose like to eat (it’s fireweed next to my house), these photos were taken two days apart.

    The culprit was still hanging out in the woods nearby when we got home last night (but thankfully the dogs did not bother her too much, and she did not try to trample them).

  9. A few more pics from today. We stopped at Bings Landing in Sterling to see how the fishers were doing. There were many there all along the river. #Alaska #SummerInAlaska #KenaiRiverAK #Fireweed

  14. FINALLY. Some of the fireweed (aka rosebay willowherb) at my house is blooming! :blobcataww:

    (For the non-Alaskans out there, this is incredibly late in the summer for them to start. I’ve seen them blooming all over the area already, just not at my house.)

  15. A short hike up Mt Seymour the other day -
    #Campanula lactiflora (blue bell-shaped flowers, non-native, sunny meadow)
    #Castilleja miniata (greater #paintbrush, tuft of orange bracts, full sunlight)
    #Chamaenerion angustifolium (#fireweed; spike of magenta flowers, a bee, and another pollinator, maybe a fly?, full sunlight)
    #Corallorhiza mertensiana (Pacific #coralroot, magenta and green #orchid flower, very dark woods)

    Closing in on the best way to paint #fireweed on a 15x20mm canvas… felt the need to switch things up after a few days just thinking about sunrises.

    But maybe I need to try painting a tiny sunrise scene? 🤔

    Full transparency: I painted this last night. But it was very late last night! And the part that’s relevant to today is that I looked at it again just now, when I took the second photo (with my thumb for scale), and I DON’T HATE IT. I painted something tiny and I’m still happy with it the next day!

    So. Tiny fireweed pendants are definitely happening. 🥰

  18. We started up a weekly multifaith community worship service at #GuilfordCollege where I work.

    I was the first speaker and shared this reflection based on the wildflower #Fireweed and the music of Seth Patrick Martin.

  19. One of the most surprising things about the PCT for me was how many burnt stretches of trail there are. The ones in Oregon and Washington tend to have dense fields of fireweed.
