Writer, wonderer, concerned Earthling.

My new job is with The Ohio State University, and there is a lovely little learning garden outside my building that's just starting to come to life. I was delighted by the bright colors in these herbaceous peonies, which I think look sort of like fiery asparagus 😄. Grow, friends, grow!
We had to drive an hour away to find these eastern hemlocks (Tsuga canadensis), but it was well worth it to see some green amidst a gray, dormant winter. I always love finding tiny hemlock cones and thinking about them one day becoming giant, strong trees 🌱🌲🌲
What are you, fluffy friend? We saw these seed pods on our walk a few weeks ago. I've been slow with new pics, because I started a full time job last week. I'll get into a rhythm soon, though, that incorporates more time outside and frequent posts again. 😊
Happy Spring Equinox and full moon, everyone! I'm honoring this time of new growth by sharing a swipe-left-to-zoom-out sequence of a resilient little bulb sprouting from its home inside a dead, decaying tree 🌱. This is from a hike back home in Oregon last month. I'm hoping to see new growth here in Ohio soon 🌿🌼.
The rim hike along Conkle Hollow's black sandstone gorge was both breathtaking and slightly unnerving. The leaf-convered edges and vegetation down below dulled our perceptions of height and potential danger. Still, we were always careful and respected the edges, all the while enjoying some of our most topographically varied views of Ohio so far.
Seed 1: Hey! Want to grow here? . . Seed 2: Um I don't know. Maybe? This is a rock, though, so um.... . . Seed 1: I bet we can do it. . . 🌳🌳
