Have a great weekend everyone! Enjoy this pic of this beautiful tidal marsh that I saw on a walk near the ocean yesterday. This marsh is connected to the ocean (but not seen in this pic). I could hear the pounding of the surf from the ocean the entire walk! #ocean #hiking #CapeCod

Photo of marsh as viewed from edge. The water leads away from the camera toward the horizon where the ocean is (but the ocean is not seen). Tan and brown grasses line the edges of the water.

here was my first real attempt at a tracked milky way! Was able to do a 90 second exposure at 85mm!! Nuts!

Winter continues to provide such great beauty! I went on a sunset hike yesterday on my favorite local trail. Each frozen lake I passed displayed a different phase of this colorful sunset. Finished the hike well into twilight with a smile on my face! #sunset #FootPathFriday #hiking

Photo of sunset as viewed from across a frozen lake. Snowy shoreline in immediate foreground. Smooth ice on lake reflecting orange, yellow, and red colors of sunset above trees. Blue sky overhead.

Dead #trees are not wasted timber dollars - they are sources of food for literally thousands of beings in a #forest #ecosystem, from tiny microscopic beings to insectivorous birds. Standing dead trees are known as snags, while a fallen dead trees are nurse logs. A cut or natural stump can serve the same #ecological function as a #NurseStump.

Nature wastes nothing. If there is a nutrient source to be had, there is a being to benefit from it. Nurse logs, standing snags & nurse stumps play hosts to all sorts of mosses, lichens, fungi, insects & arthropods, many hidden deep inside, as well as other living beings that prey on them.

Nurse #stumps are still deeply rooted; new plant, tree & fungi life grows out of their tops. Nurse stumps & dead stumps that have no new growth atop are like anchor systems for living trees growing in forests. You destabilize the ecosystem when you remove them from their natural #environment.

A moss-covered stump stands in the foreground, resembling a small table, within a lush forest. Tall trees with textured bark and patches of moss rise in the background, while fallen leaves and various green plants cover the ground, contributing to the vibrant atmosphere of the woodland.

From today's hike.

A vertical photo of a large sagebrush on the side of a trail. A thin layer of snow is left on the ground. Beyond the sagebrush is a switchback of slopes, then far mountains. Clouds are coming up from behind the mountains into blue sky.

Ruins of a dairy, cannery and other farm buildings at the former Northern State Asylum, where those judged insane and other outcasts in northwestern Washington were sent 1912-73. The idea was rehab via agricultural work therapy. Truly creepy feeling place. Partially a park now. https://www.seattletimes.com/pacific-nw-magazine/an-old-mental-institution-and-its-cemetery-might-get-a-dignified-makeover/ #Hiking #GetOutside
Ruins of a farm complex with quaint belfries along one dairy building, apparently a cannery on the other side. All under skies of blue and billowy clouds.
An old building for cows with a silo at its end, tge main structure painted light yellow and the roof corrugated metal, now rusty.
Deteriorating concrete silo at the end of a cow barn.
Hollow interior of a milking barn with graffiti on tge floor and a roof supported by heave wood beam.

An old mental institution, and its cemetery, might get a dignified makeover

It was a proper grey day today…not damp, and neither cold nor warm, just grey nothingness. But it lent a sepia tone to the autumn colours.

I headed up to the Teifi Pools on the western edge of the Cambrian Mountains. The pools and reservoirs are the source of several rivers, including the Teifi, which I followed back down. I’ve missed wide open spaces recently and this was just what I needed.

I finished with a stroll around the ruined abbey of Strata Florida.

A photo of a mountain stream - Nant Egnant - rushing over grey boulders. The steep valley sides are carpeted in red-brown bracken and dark green heather nearer the tops. In the centre of the frame, crossing the river, is a wooden foot bridge. A veteran oak tree stands behind on the right, its leaves turning a red-golden brown. The sky behind is a flat, featureless grey.
Landscape photo of a view across boggy ground, an expanse of golden brown marsh grasses. In the centre is the limb of a large lake - Llyn Teifi, the source of the Afon Teifi, the surface of the water is a matt silver and pewter. A ridge of mountains rises up behind, under grey skies.
A landscape photo of a view down the upper Teifi valley. The mountain stream divides the landscape down the middle, red-brown bracken on the steeper slopes to the right, and golden brown grass and gorse on the left in the flatter, boggier valley bottom. The stream curves out of view to the right. Green hillsides rise up beyond. In the middle distance on the left, a few sheep eye me warily from a slight rise. Again, the sky is a flat greyness.
Photo of a rounded arched entrance doorway into the ruined Cistercian abbey of Strata Florida, the crumbled stone walls ending just above the arch. Through the doorway is a glimpse of the ruined interior walls, surrounded by short grass, and of the hillside beyond. The leaves on trees growing in and around the abbey are turning green to gold
