I still can’t comprehend that it jumped the river. IT JUMPED THIS

View of the Spokane River at Bowl and Pitcher Recreational area in Riverside State Park. The river is wide with class iii rapids. Ponderosa Pines are sprawling on both sides. Large rocks remain from the Missoula Floods.

I have NEVER seen this in my entire life. Spokane is under a Fire Warning.

Weather dot gov screen shot of the forecast area for Spokane. Spokane County is highlighted in brown for Fire Warning. Other warnings listed are: Red Flag (pink), Windadvisory (tan), air quality alert (grey).

Top of the smoke plume. It looks like it wants to make proper clouds. (I am not a meteorologist and I can’t tell you if that’s a thing)

Smoke plum visible between two trees. Looks like dark dirty clouds.

Old Trails Smoke via radar. You can also see the smoke from the Autumn Lane Fire just to the northwest. The area is currently under a PDS Red Flag Warning. #spokane

WeatherWise screenshot. Showing a band of green over the northern part of Spokane and heading into Sandpoint. If you didn’t know there was a fire you would think this was a band of rain.

Old Trails Fire smoke plume is the backdrop of the #Spokane Highland Games.

A rather ominous backdrop to a rather excited Highland Games. Competitor is throwing a sheef while others watch as the Old Trails Fire is destroying Northwest Spokane.

Taken a while ago but I'm too lazy to re-edit images so they fit with bluesky's small photo size requirement. Happily been seeing more butterflies the past couple of years. Helps that our park's gardeners are utilizing their space with pollinators in mind. #photography

an orange, black and white speckled butterfly is perched on a violet colored Iris petal.

Caught something amazing on a car passing by. Yes. Hard school is, indeed.

Photo of a car with the words “Orchard Prarie School Dist.” painted on the side. Specific letters are left intact so it reads “Hard School is.”

This shoulda been the real title.

Star Trek Original Series title card. The enterprise is circling a blue planet. In the upper left corner yellow text says “Storage Compartments.”

Alpine Aster. Aster Alpinus. #photography #flowers

photo of a purple alpine aster. a blurred apline aster is sitting behind the one in focus. Due to the blurring, the background is a mix of greens and browns.

Watched some fishing today. #photography #nature #birds

Great Blue Heron stands among the rocky pond-side with a small catfish in its beak. It was playing with its food, tossing it about before finally guzzling it up!

Kind of obsessed with the red hairs on this plant. #photography

Photographer was dumb and forgot to notate what the sign labeled this species as. It's a broad, paddle-like leafed plant. Its leaves are green and it has short little red hairs growing from the leaves.

I found ONE singular tree at the park in bloom. JUST ONE. #photography

When you go to the gym and it’s gross: windy, dark and pouring rain. Then you walk out to the bus and everything feels just a little bit better.

Bus stop photo of the sunset hitting through the bus shelter glass. It’s golden to match golden hour!

“Wagner would be into GenAI,” and then immediately lays the foundation as to why Wagner wouldn’t touch the garbage is a hot take.

Screenshot from an article about Tristan und Isolde that reads, ““I believe that if Wagner had been born today, he probably would have been a generative A.I. filmmaker,” Devlin told me ahead of opening night. Back in the 1800s, the composer was on the forefront of theatrical technology, going as far as to design and build his own opera house in Bayreuth, Germany, to host his Ring Cycle”

Time for some rainy day orchids.

Most coveted of my wikigacha cards.

Trading card that resembles the design of Magic. It's red with a title area, and attack and defense numbers, there's a spot for a photo and description text. "SSR Havana Syndrome" is its title. Description: "Havana syndrome, also known as anomalous health incidents (AHIs) is a disputed medical condition. Starting 2016 in about a dozen overseas locations, US."
In gold italics: "Whispers of the unseen forces haunt the diplomats, blurring the lines between reality and mystery."
The card has 10812 attack points and 10422 defense points.

I fucking love fire trucks

Fire truck sending out its ladder on the corner of the street. Reaching the top of the brick building it’s next to.

Always a great time of year.

A green metal pole with a sticker of colorful autumn leaves and text. The text reads "MY FAVORITE SEASON IS THE FALL OF FASCISM." The background shows a wooden fence and trees.

Happy Daylight Saving Time Weekend everyone.

Two panel comic:
Top panel is a dog confronting its owner (on all fours in a defensive position. The dog says “you’re feeding me an hour later being of Daylight Saving Time?”
The bottom panel is the same however the dog’s neck is horrifically and comically stretch out so it can try and look John in the face because fuck this guy. The dog says, “how the fuck can I read a clock, John?”

Finally organized my photo files by date. Found this guy from 2009 I took with a Nikon Coolpix S550. I thought I was so cool not using a tripod lmao #photography

Do you all care for some shrimp? #photography

Close up of a shrimp plant (Justicia brandegeana). It's petals are red, with a green fringe, with white petals at the tip. It resembles shrimp.

I felt well enough to go to the park today. So I sat in the greenhouse and pretended that I didn't have anything wrong with me (I was dizzy and my tongue went numb) #photography #flowers

blurry close up of the inside of a pink tulip

Adelaide@sayorkunau· Feb 22

Since there's no real flowers out right now I suppose the metal ones will have to suffice.

Tulip-shaped metal statues rising out of the cement. They double as art and a bike rack!

Time to NERD UP my symptom tracker.

A gray booklet with a gold emblem and text on a black surface. The emblem features a circle of stars and laurel leaves. The text reads "CAPTAIN'S LOG" and "UNITED FEDERATION OF PLANETS." Two pink flower petals are part of the desk mat the booklet is lying on.

Long live the real Spaghetti Cat because AI slop is taking over his humble existence.

I've decided long-legged birds are unnecessarily ridiculous. #photography

Never forget the peacock who hassled me for chicken nuggies. #photography
