A few photos from today's walk at #DashPoint.

A walk through the woods, followed by a bunch of gardening work, has laid me low. 7 miles today according to my Fitbit. Am tired.

A few dozen ferns climb mossy trees near a firm in their proximate trunks.

Bunches of shelf fungi cling to the cut side of a log.

A charming little trillium plant says hi.

A rainy visit to #DashPoint today, greeting the #fungi, #sanddollars, trees and #mosses. Love where I live.

Pale shelf fungi cling to a tree, hanging out over a shallow stream below.

A mossy logs hosts a few ferns, enjoying the plentiful rain.

Two sand dollars in shallow sandy pools.

(2/2) Here's my wife's video of the same owl, just chilling and being awesome. We didn't stick around long; didn't want to put her off her hunt.

(1/2) Out walking yesterday with my wife, I spotted what I'm pretty sure is a #BarredOwl perched on a branch about twenty feet away from us. Her attention was mostly focused on the pond nearby, but we definitely caught a cautious glance from her.

If was really something special to see the bird just doing her thing, probably waiting for a frog to snack on.

A brown, mottled owl sits up in a branch staring at the photographer. Gorgeous.

A beautiful brown and white owl looks over her shoulder towards the camera.

Went to #DashPoint for a walk today, spotted a couple rock friends and some cool #mosses.

Love how looking for this stuff forces you to slow down and enjoy the trails; it's almost meditative.

A vibrant green stump sprouts tufts of moss and brilliant minty lichens.

A mossy tree trunk rises overhead, and a little rock dude is sitting in a cracked nook in the right side of the trunk. The little dude has painted eyes and an amazing secret. Ferns climb above, all growing on the tree trunk.

A little rock dude peeks out from a crack in a mossy tree trunk. The rock dude has dark blue eyes and holds deep wisdoms.

Spotted some fun guys at #DashPoint today, walking with my wife. Love where I live.

A pale little mushroom peeks out from under a layer of leaves, reaching upward with branching fungal fingers towards the sky.

Several orange mushrooms lean out from the side of a mossy log that extends toward the far distance.

Went for a walk today and was greeted by small nature friends. Trying to enjoy the little things.

The big ones can be a lot sometimes.

A banana slug hangs out in the shade of an orange fallen leaf.

A close shot of a most curb running along the edge of a trail. The lighting draws stark contrasts between the brighter greens and darker shadows.

Went for a walk at #DashPoint yesterday and found some small sources of joy to share.

A bright blue rock, painted in letters that read "Stand Tall U ROCK." The stone rests on the crook of a tree.

Big old mushroom (looks like some sort of oyster to me) growing on a log over a stream.

Small hanging purple blossoms, with green behind them.

Hello Internet! Took a walk at #DashPoint this afternoon and found some small blooming plants.

A couple salmonberry flowers. They look rather glad to see me.

A bright blooming skunk cabbage plant, with a mossy stick behind it.

A tiny white flower I'm pretty sure is a Periwinkle. I don't normally notice them growing here, but they're delightful.

Found this cheerful little rock in a tree at Dash Point, WA on the 11th.

No idea who put it there, or how many folks it has greeted on the trail. It's got a peaceful place to hang out, and made me smile back at it.

Such things shouldn't be taken for granite.

A mossy tree with a rock wedged into the crotch between two of the tree's main trunks. Someone has added eyes to the rock above a prominent, presumably natural, curving indentation, giving the rock the appearance of a smiling face.

Got a chance to go for a quick #hike along the trails in the #forest near #DashPoint, A small #park near #FederalWayWA.

A lot of things are still brown and dead-looking, but the #ferns and #mosses are ready for spring. First nice day at the #beach this year - I'm kinda spoiled to live within 10 minutes of forests and beaches.

It was good to hear the #nature sounds and see everybody out walking their dogs. I miss having dogs sometimes.
