I am always happy when I see this on my wisteria. This is the handiwork of leaf cutter bees. You can tell by the nearly perfect circular cutouts they make. I've only seen them actually cutting circles once. You can hear their jaws working like tiny little scissors. It's the funniest thing.

Small branch of a wisteria vine with a number of leaves in it. Each leaf has large semicircular cutouts along its edges which are very regular and uniform. The sun casts its shadow on a wooden railing nearby and the shadow reflects the cutouts as well

On Sunday I went for a bike ride on the Portland waterfront. I'll post time-lapse video later but here are some frameshots. ( #NoAI - this is all my footage and effort.) #Portland #Oregon #cycling #PNW

A verdant forest hike with dramatic, atmospheric mood when the coastal fog drifts in.

A low-angle, wide shot captures a dense, old-growth forest shrouded in mist, dominated by tall evergreen trees with a prominent moss-covered tree on the left. This central tree features a thick trunk completely carpeted in textured green moss, with short, stubby, truncated branches jutting outward symmetrically like steps or ribs, each heavily draped in a layer of the same bright green moss. In the background, numerous slender, towering tree trunks reach toward the sky, their lower portions sparse or bare and their upper branches blending into a dense canopy. The background is filled with a soft, bright white fog or mist that filters through the upper branches, creating a hazy, atmospheric backdrop. The forest floor and understory are lush and crowded with vibrant green shrubs, ferns, and leafy bushes that fill the lower third of the frame.

Tonight it didn't look like there would be anything remarkable about the sunset and then this happened.

And probably my fav of the night getting our galactic core in with some aurora.

A night sky filled with stars, displaying shades of purple and green, with silhouettes of clouds and a dark landscape at the bottom.

All homes are fascinating, even the temporary ones (though aren’t they all?) These old motels dot our landscape in the #PNW, and many are now closed. They represent a certain kind of travel that is fast disappearing because of larger hotels and cars with greater fuel economy.

But at one time they were someone’s livelihood and a temporary residence for the sightseer, one who might imagine home long enough to cook a meal.
