After the paint out, I had to squeeze in a short hike. The trail head was just 5 minutes away.
I'm going to the "N."

Looks like I found a new species, a hybrid between plant and animal. It's sitting on the hiking trail and looking like it's feeding.
From the trail today: wild plum blossoms and... is that a prairie dog? I'd never seen one around here.

#Today 22
Good day!
Cold, with periods of rain, but I’ll walk.
A stranger asked, yesterday, if I had anything fun planned. I mentioned editing, which led to my book & she became excited. As I walked away, I could hear her repeating the title so she wouldn’t forget.
The things that happen when you oversleep & can’t think straight.
Be everwell.
These icy sections of #trail are what remained of the #winter in this mountain that hiked earlier this week. The #ice appeared once I got above a certain elevation but was only present below the tree line. Didn’t need microspikes as I could “rock hop” through the sections of ice. #FootpathFriday #mountains #hiking
Why? What did Tim do?
(It's #HootinTootinTuesday again! Post some jokes or funny memes under this hashtag today, and bring lots of smiles to #Mastodon.)

Evans Creek, Northwest Reno, Nevada. One of my favorite hiking trails. And yes, the sky was that blue. Initially I was going to title this "Sky over Evans Creek." Which is better?

Half-frozen, half-spring. This is how the location of the painting looked this morning. It was a nice hike. I will post the finished painting a little later. Hope you are not tired of it.

After a meeting, went back to the location I took the photo of an evening sky yesterday. But this time, for a hike.

A "#trains and #trails" idea has been growing in my brain.
The idea is to catch a train to the end of a line, and #run from there to the end of a different line. In #melbourne with very rough routes:
Hurstbridge -> Lilydale (43km)
Lilydale -> Belgrave (36km)
Belgrave -> Pakenham (37km)
Pakenham -> Frankston (45km)
Hurstbridge -> Mernda (12km)
Mernda -> Upfield (27km)
... and so on.
In the same order as above:

A country trail in late winter is a great place to spend a #SilentSunday.
In addition to loss of federal workers who map and protect #fish habitats, deliver programs to our #schools , support #tourism , maintain #trails , provide #searchandrescue & #EmergencyMedicalServices , #forecast storms (my partner is out fishing on the ocean right now)…. The ignorant and illegal actions of this administration have negatively impacted tribal crews and meaningful #restoration work. No fraud or waste here. These are direct hits to my life, my community. https://alaskabeacon.com/2025/02/28/our-local-crews-can-be-put-back-to-work-restoring-southeast-alaska-salmon-streams/
#Today 09
Good day!
Snow adds contrast, changes perspective.
It’s amazing what I see when I change my perspective, when I push through the anxiety that would rule my life.
If I let it.
The key isn’t failing, but not letting failure stop me.
Be everwell.
This trail in Vermont follows a picturesque stream for miles, crossing over the stream many times on bridges like this. While I was cross country skiing on the trail earlier this week, there were also people running, walking, and cycling (fat tires). Fun for all! #FootpathFriday #Footbridge #skiing
