A cluster of unripe elderberries lies on smooth gray creek stones in bright sunlight. The berries are a mix of green, yellowish-orange, and red, attached to vivid magenta stems. A single blade of green grass crosses diagonally beside them; the rocky creek bed fills the sunlit background.

A close-up, ground-level view of an unripe elderberry cluster resting among rounded river rocks. Green and red-tinged berries branch from dark reddish-purple stems, with a few small green leaves nearby. Blurred sunlit foliage glows in the background under a strong, shallow depth of field.

Cyanocitta stelleri like to cut off bunches of Sambucus racemosa to eat the berries in private. Not all of them are great at picking ripe bunches 😅

Looking up at a large maple tree beside a creek, its sprawling branches thickly covered in green moss, with bright sunlight filtering through the dense leafy canopy onto ferns and gravel along the bank.

View straight up into the canopy of a moss-draped bigleaf maple, sunlit green leaves radiating outward from thick lichen-covered branches against patches of blue sky.

A massive, gnarled maple trunk wrapped in dark moss rises from a lush forest floor of ferns, surrounded by tall maple and fir trees in bright summer light.

A tall moss-covered maple dominates the frame, its twisting branches draped in green moss spreading beneath an overcast sky, with slender alder and fir trunks filling the misty forest behind.

Now testing a #littleFedi post scheduled 24+ hours ago with more magnificent Acer macrophyllum. I will never cease to be amazed by these organisms and their (many) symbiotes.

Deer gods 🦌🙏 I love these temperate rainforests 💚

A low-angle view of moss-covered trees in the Hoh Rainforest. Thick green moss coats the leaning trunk and arching branches of a bigleaf maple, with tall evergreens and patches of blue sky behind.

Let's test a near-future scheduled post from #littleFedi with this photo of a magnificently moss-laden Acer macrophyllum I came across on a short walk through the Hoh Rainforest to the banks of the Hoh River.

Close-up photo of a west coast lace weaver spider resting on a weathered wooden stake in a garden. The spider has glossy reddish-orange legs and head, and a large, rounded, silvery-grey abdomen held upright. Green foliage blurs softly in the background.

Spider season started early on the Olympic Peninsula this year. Walking into webs every which way I go isn't my favorite thing in the world, but I do love the opportunity to photograph some cool arachnids. This particular spider is Callobius severus. My partner saved her from drowning, and I captured a bazillion photos while she recovered in the sun.

I remember first learning about the Battle of Blair Mountain—long after finishing school, of course, because the incredible history of the U.S. labor movement in the early 20th century isn't taught in our public schools—and wondering how there wasn't at least one decent movie about this particular episode in U.S. history. It's years later, and as far as I know there still isn't one. Can't say I'm surprised 😒

Matewan is worth a watch, if you haven't seen it 👀

While not great and not about the Battle of Blair Mountain specifically, it's a decent film about the Battle of Matewan, a precursor to the Battle of Blair Mountain.

A ceramic bowl with a brown and beige speckled glaze holds scoops of vanilla ice cream generously topped with fresh blackberries. A metal spoon rests in the bowl. The background shows blurred green leaves and warm ambient lighting.

The war against invading Rubus armeniacus at home is something of a neverending nightmare, but I gotta say:

It's a damn tasty nightmare during berry season 😋
