Everyone on the West coast is familiar with Alders - they're the first trees that sprout new life when a forest is cleared or burned away. But what most haven't seen is an #OldGrowth Alder grove.
The trees pictured here are not the usual thin stick like tree's you're used too, but nearly meter diameter trees standing in a unique wetland area that's prevented the usual Large Leaf Maple and Cedar to move in over the decades.

"Those little white flowers you see here are known as the Arctic mountain heather, and they are highly toxic to this little pika.
Collared pika create what we call haypiles under the rocks that will serve as food for the 9 months of winter they endure beneath the snow. That’s 9 months of dead rotting plants for fungi, bacteria, and other parasites to completely destroy. That is, unless the pika layers toxic species like this arctic heather through the haypile.
This particular species of flower releases its toxic brew of phenolic compounds into the the pika's cache of food as it begins to break down. Those very same toxins, it turns out, are a natural food preservative that kills the very fungi and bacteria that would otherwise ruin an entire winter’s worth of food for the pika. And amazingly, by the time the pika makes it down to these layers, those toxins are completely harmless to the little mammal.
None of this is by accident. Researchers have documented that not only are pika meticulous at how they layer toxic plants into their haypiles, they use different species, with differing levels of toxicity, at specific levels through the cache to ensure that their food is not only well preserved but also timed to be edible for themselves as they work their way through it.
This is the most sophisticated pharmacological knowledge and behavior ever documented outside of humans."

Fairy Falls 2020
This is one of the first #Waterfall images I was proud of and still enjoy from my first years of shooting #Photography. I've returned here many times to take various different compositions over the years, but this first one still makes me happy.
The bright haze as light breaches the canopy above, the slight lens flare and the lens water spec I left in the frame. And of course the water tendrils of the waterfall.

It is #SeaWednesday, so here is a #seascape. I know, I know. I upload seascapes on most days anyway. But today at least it is legit.
For this one, I went to explore an unknown beach. The beauty of it was that it required a 45 min hike before the sunrise in the total darkness through the forest. Which meant no people around. Also, I saw deer footprints but no deer.

This group crash landed outside my house yesterday and proceeded to bake to a crisp in the sun (I know how they feel) ☀️
Had to bring them in and photograph those beautiful textures 🙌🏻

I've written a short blog post about a recent encounter I had with a Black Woodpecker during our trip to the Pyrenees. If you fancy having a read and seeing a few pictures I took this is the link https://kierstenrowland.com/the-day-i-met-a-black-woodpecker It was a special moment in time that became our own personal wildlife documentary.

For #MountainMonday: a winter view of Osprey Mountain and the Pitt River from the Poco Trail in Port Coquitlam, British Collumbia, Canada.

It's #MountainMonday lets celebrate #Yukon today!
On this multi-day backpacking trip we had maybe 6hrs of sunlight over a full week as the late summer storms hit us every day. This was one of the fleeting moments of brilliant light that pierced through the rain clouds. An absolutely breathtaking moment.

#Today 13
Good day!
It’s summer. The heat continues. Not much else to say about the weather this time of the year.
At least it’s tolerable. The days climb to +/- 90F (32.2C). In other words, hot, but the nights cool considerably. Even shade makes it comfortable.
Be everwell.
