  Took a walk today and looked at parking strips (verges, hell strips, whatever). Photo 1 is your typical. Photos 2 & 3 show a parking strip that has reached its potential. It's all drought tolerant flowering perennials and shrubs. But get this--the second strip isn't any more work to maintain than the first one. Grass is not your lowest maintenance option. Add up the time you spend mowing, fixing & fueling the mower, watering, feeding, weeding, and you'll see. #gardening #Blo...

  Some photos from my garden this evening. The light is just lovely this time of year. #gardening #bloomscrolling @gardening@fedigroups.social

  This weekend I took a trip up to the top of Baker Lake, in the Mt Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest in Washington, fed by snow and glacier melt of one of our 4 active volcanoes, Kulshan or Mt Baker (just look at the color of that water!) It's a fantastic time to hike along the river and lakeshore, the trees haven't fully leafed out and there's a lot of life happening on the forest floor. Plant-heavy thread ahead. 1/9 #PNW #nativeplants #hiking #getoutside #mountains

  EvErYtHinG is blOoMinG. I took a 20 minute walk around my neighborhood yesterday and collected these photos just on my street. Let's make a quiz game out of it. See how many you can identify. They start easy and get harder. Answers in the alt text. A short thread. #bloomscrolling #gardening @gardening 1/6

  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

  I probably won't brave the crowds at the University of Washington quadrangle to see their cherry trees this year, but I don't really need to. There's plenty to see in my neighborhood. #gardening #PNW #seattle #Bloomscrolling #spring
