Yesterday featured a bicycle ride instead of a walk, which was a treat. I haven't biked in around 15 years, and missed it.

Here's a few photos from my yard; enjoy.

A big sassy blossom on a new rhododendron plant in my yard.

One of the year's first irises, blossoming in beige and purple.

A mounded cluster of cracked mushroom caps.

Three photos from today's walk. I really appreciated the warm sun on my neck today.

A tree towards overhead, the focus however is on the ivy and moss coating the tree's lower trunk.

A small cluster of salmonberry flowers enjoy a shaded spot to plot their future berries.

A wild bleeding heart tangles a cluster of flowers in the shade.

A thing I enjoy about #flowers is their brevity. A mountain stands for hundreds of years, the ocean longer still, but a flower blooms but once in life.

Any #flower then, is offering you a treat; the labor of a lifetime. Savor it.

A flowering tree spreads white petals, seeking out an appropriate mote of sunlight.

A cheerful yellow plant sticks out curling stamen in cheeky but good natured mockery.

Two photos from my walk today. Be kind to yourselves, humans.

A flowering tree offers up a cluster of pale blossoms for your consideration.

Two tiny pink wildflowers light up a miniscule sea of green foliage.

(1/4) Went to the #RhododendronSpeciesBotanicalGarden in #FederalWay today with my wife. Believe it or not, we found many gorgeous fleurs. Enjoy.

A charming pink pair of flowers opens up narrow and vibrant pink petals.

A pale flower with trumpet-shaped blossoms and tiny red gems at the end of each stamen.

A purty pink Camelia blooms in a shady spot.

Bright pink, almost purple rhododendrons greet you cheerfully.

Happy #bloomscrolling y'all.

A few shots from today's walk; I made the trek out to a #blooming pink tree I normally only see at a distance. It was definitely worth the stroll.

A big pink poofy flower, surrounded by more like it, and backlit by a cloudy sky. Gorgeous.

A bright and yellow cluster of flowers on a maple branch.

Another update on the #canoe!

I posted about it two weeks back here:

It's now looking distinctly like a boat! Love it.

Bonus picture of a pretty chunk of forest from my #walk today.

#awalkaday

A wooden canoe lying on its side. It looks distinctly boat-shaped, under dappled sunshine.

A sunny view of a trail, looking ahead down a grassy overgrown road.

Today I took a walk through my neighborhood, so y'all get pretty suburban #flowers instead of foresty nature stuff. You can deal, I'm sure.

#awalkaday #bloomscrolling

A gorgeous blooming fruit tree - the best photo I took today. It might be a thundercloud plum, but if it is, it's blooming much later than mine did. Pale pink blossoms with dark burgundy leaves.

Some photos from today's walk over my lunch break.

Two geese stare off to the left, trying their best to ignore me.

A photograph of the Wayerhauser building in Federal Way Washington. Ivy hangs from the roof behind a monolithic... er.. monolith.

A shady path runs along the edge of a lake. Very nature. Much green.

About half a dozen mushrooms do their thing, shroomin' like they do.

Two photos from today's walk!

Loved the blue coloring on that #mossy rock, which marks the edge of a competing #lichen. Before I saw that, I thought it was just a blank space.

#mosstodon #lichensubscribe #nature #awalkaday #bloomscrolling #moss #floweringtrees

Moss and pale lichen grow on a large and gorgeous rock.

A flowering tree sports cheerful pale blossoms, looking painterly as fuck.

Met an alarmingly brave little #mouse on my walk today!

#awalkaday #nature #mice #smol

Two photos from today's walk, and one from our budding #cherry tree. Good night, fine humans.

It's a wonderful season, enjoy it.

#fungifriday #bloomscrolling #nature #awalkaday #fungi #ShelfFungi

A cluster of happy and fuzzy little shelf fungi chill out on a fallen tree branch. They're adorable.

A tree opens a blossom, dangling down a chain of pale green flowers as it begins to unfurl a leaf just above. An ant can be seen crawling on the new flowers.

A cheerful, bright cherry flower says hi.

More progress on that #canoe I posted about a while back!

It's neat to see it slowly taking shape; I have no idea when (or if) the folks carving it will ever finish it, but it's cool in either case.

Bonus #moss picture from the same walk. Take care of yourselves, humans. Touch dirt, love something, and stay yourselves.

#awalkaday #nature #mosstodon

A partially carved canoe, shaped from a long dead log.

An especially charming growth of moss on the side of a large tree.

Noticed a couple #ants today on my walk that seemed to be... fighting was my first thought, but is almost certainly wrong. Communicating, I would guess, though it looks to me like one of those slap-fights in cartoons.

@futurebird probably knows what they're up to.

#awalkaday #nature #pnw #insects

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.

#awalkaday #nature #fungi #lichensubscribe #mosstodon #pnw

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.

(2/3) Some more photos from the same trip. Love it when they've got water droplets on them, feels like a treat.

#bloomscrolling #awalkaday

A trillium plant shares a view of water droplets through its thin pale petals.

A delicate pink flower sticks out its curling stamen cheekily.

A large white blossom considers opening up a bit further. Maybe tomorrow. Me too, big flower. Me too.

(1/3) My wife and I went to visit the #RhododendronSpeciesBotanicalGarden in #FederalWay again today, and MOAR things are blooming now than a few weeks ago. Spring is upon us, and my sense of impending doom greatly enjoyed the escapism it had to offer.

Of course, now she wants a couple-couple-couple-couple-couple #camelias. I'm not sorry.

https://rhodygarden.org/ #plants #bloomscrolling #flowers #rhododendrons #awalkaday

Several dangling pale yellow flowers. Their stems each boast hundreds of tiny hairs.

A big yellow happy rhododendron, with many more out of focus in the background.

A blushing pink rhododendron. Drops of rain can be seen on some of the petals, like clear gems.

A few photos from today's walk! The Wayerhauser building was looking especially pretty today.

#Fasting today, which always makes my walks feel distinctly *different.* Part of that is mild hunger, weakness that's more psychosomatic than actually real. Part is a perceived lightness, as though I could run faster and jump higher. I find myself taking slower steps in contrast to that feeling, deeper breaths.

#mosstodon #nature #awalkaday #bloomscrolling

The Wayerhauser building in Federal Way WA is looking good! Five floors of lush greenery look out across a large pond under a gloriously striated sky.

A cluster of red flowers hangs on a narrow green branch, just freshly leafing out.

A tree begins to bloom, opening a fistful of sharply textured new leaves.

A mossy patch growing on a birch tree spreads out tendrils to soak up last night's rain.

Short walk today, but still a treat.
