After canceling my accounts at almost every other major news outlet I'm glad that the Guardian remains independent, still producing news worth reading.

Just look at what they allowed to happen to the white house.

What’s the Trump Administration’s End Game for the National Parks?

We saw it in Yosemite. But you have to look beyond the bathrooms.

A11 Getting outside, even if it's gloomy & raining & dark at 4 pm helps. We head up to the Skagit River Delta about an hr north of Seattle where at least it's wide open. Bird viewing is better there in the winter also. #parkchat

A10 Starting in the fall we do a lot of cloud gazing here - there are some clear nights but we really have to watch for them #parkchat

Just the way the forest smells after the rains come back. Even thought the foliage is dying back, everything smells more alive with the return of rains #parkchat

A6 We saw these bunchberries in the Cascades just last week. #parkchat

A4 No big road trips specifically for colors but lots of time in the NC Mts - Blue Ridge Parkway when I was a teenager in the fall just because. I guess now it's so busy that mid summer is easier to visit there #parkchat

SE & same, several autumns inthe Blue Ridge Mts, but no photos! 😥 #parkchat

A3 Most of our native trees seem to turn yellow, then brown quickly (or just straight to brown) - always like the reds & oranges #parkchat

A2 Big relief from late summer here (& most of the west), it was so dry & fires & smoke all over. A great time to visit streams in the PNW and see which ones have salmon running #parkchst
