my husband just referred to happy feelings from playing with the dog as “dogamine”

I was completely surprised! I did not hear, or see any sign of wolves. I didn't see much sign of other wildlife either. Just some week old elk tracks, which were easy to spot.

I wish I had the time or resources.
But I thought this was incredible to see in Southern Oregon last month!
I was hiking pre-dawn, and my ears were on full alert for possible morning howls! 😍

An advisory sign stating that wolves are in the area. Various pictograms of things to do if wolves are encountered. A QR code link, State and federal agency logos and a silhouette of a wolf are also featured.

I think the base of the falls isn't in frame because the wide field lens was too prone to getting spray on it, and I opted for a narrower field, and got the stars instead.
Narada is a known spitter falls. 💦
I might've been holding my hand below the lens to keep it clear. LOL

Gah! I meant 411, not 911 🫣

What's in a name?
I wondered about this one too.
Here's the 911 about Narada Falls!

It is still very early here on the left coast, but it's #WaterfallWednesday, and I'm bringing you soft #moonlight on Narada Falls, under a starry sky. From a visit to #MountRainier #NationalPark!
#EastCoastKin #waterfall #forest #stars #📷 #scape #night #longexposure

A night photo of a tall waterfall lit but slanted moonlight coming from the left through trees. The waterfall is softened by long exposure, which also brings out stars at the top of the falls above tall conifer trees.
The trees also frame the waterfall as it drops over the cliff. The trees are green but muted by the moonlight.

There are a lot of very real costs to this bs.

For #MountainMonday, I bring you some of the peaks of the Tatoosh Range in #MountRainier #NationalPark.
I think they're very scenic in their own right! You might remember them from a previous photo I posted with the bright moon over them.
#Mountains #Forest #nature #EastCoastKin #snow

A photo of a rugged mountain range with rocky peaks and snow around their tops.
The sky over them is a cloudless light blue.
Below the peaks, snow fields, and rocky outcrops are scattered stands of conifer trees descending into thick green forests.
The foreground shows several small alpine trees with slightly twisted trunks from being buried under snows of Winter.

I was forced into a dark room with nothing but a slice of pizza, and a fuzzy drink. Then I had to watch this! 😭
They'll keep doing this to people until this coming Thursday! 😱
