I caught a few more #crimsonleaves ... a few hours before the storm arrived ❤

At this moment it's raining buckets (1.02 in/hr) in Vancouver and we have a total of 1.27" as of 5:30pm ... just sayin'

EQUITY vs SHIT
trump2.0@9mo
He marked the weekend by posting a video of himself, wearing a crown, piloting a Navy jet, dropping shit over a No Kings rally. The jet was named "King Trump". His party called it satire.
This morning I started a new #WordsWithFriends game-I had the letters for #EQUITY❤️🎉❤️

Dozens of costumed roller skaters gathered in the south waterfront Thursday night, where they rolled their way down to the ICE building to visit the nightly protests.The skaters turned the intersection at South Bancroft into an impromptu roller rink and dance party. @secretrollerdisco's message: "We are full of love & acceptance, and will do everything we can to protect our community and promote love!"Read more at the link in our bio.#rollerskating #skate #protest #portland #portlandprotest #portlandoregon #ICEprotest #PortlandICE #downtownportland #theoregonian #oregon

Mid-Oct: My #RhododendronHoneyButter has a couple blossoms! Should I tell the good folks at the #FarmersAlmanac?

The Rhododendron 'HoneyButter' is blooming again! Wonder what this means???

One lap around the sun

A year ago today I moved to Vancouver. Here’s the fall garden that greeted me this morning in celebration.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my new garden and I also love being so close to my Mom, sister, my many cousins, nieces, and nephews.

I've used PeakFinder for yrs-I know it's accurate, but when its predictions for the #supermoon are perfect I spend the next day wondering how it works. My conclusion: “there's some crazy, amazing, fancy, #trigonometry stuff happening”

predictions vs real life

#PeakFinderApp #fullmoon #huntersmoon

The moon should be barely visible at 6:18

It was 6:18 when the top of the moon broke the horizon

The center of the moon should cross the horizon at 6:24

It was great to HEAR geese again!!
1) #CanadaGeese
2) #CacklingGeese
3) ... so I need to remember to adjust my backgrounds when capturing dark birds on a dark background ... for now, try to imagine how great this would have been with snow geese!🤪

At Deception Pass the sun sets under the bridge for several days around the Spring and Fall Equinox.
I've found a spot in Sandy, OR where the sun rises behind Mt Hood, near the #equinoxes.
