Writer, wonderer, concerned Earthling.

We visited the Japanese Gardens today in Lithia Park. At first I tried to identify some of the trees there, and then I realized that most aren't native to North America, so I probably only knew them by genus 😅. Region is important in plant I.D., so parks, gardens, etc. can be deceiving. Still, there were many different maples (I'll learn ALL their names one day) putting on a color show. ❤🍁🧡🍂💛💚🍃💙
I had a really fun time writing a guest post all about foraging for acorns! Did you know they're edible? Did you know they have to be leached of their tannins before you can eat them? I bet you know they're super cute! 🌰🍂Check out the post, as well as the other awesome foraging posts and recipes from @growforagecookferment !
I'm working on something new for you all! I've been building a "trees" highlight that you can view from my profile/bio page. One thing I love to do when I hike with friends is teach them about any of the trees I recognize. It also challenges me to learn more trees! I'll be continually adding to the highlight, and I'm also going to start one called "Forest Floor," so check them often 😉. Think of it like we're going on a hike together 💚.
This Jeffrey pine cone was so large and firmly attached that whoever munched it had to snack while the cone was still on the tree! 🐿🌲
October blue, through the oak canopy. 💙🌳💙
Pass through an open gate of fir trees, into a grove of golden aspens, and then up, up, into the misty hills. Wave to fairies, steer clear of goblins, never tread on gnomes. 🌲🍂🌲 . . . . Outdoor adventures have always fed my imagination. The fiction I write primarily takes place outside. How do you #ExploreToCreate ?
