Not the best placement for an egg drop by this eastern box turtle. #turtles #nature #hiking I wanted to mark the spot but can't find anything that will last. I'm heading out for a 5-day backpack to tomorrow. I'll check on it when I return.

I don't get many hits on my YT posts from @blsky.social . Nevertheless, it is part of who I am ( #backpacking #appalachianTrail #Sectionhiking #hiking). I have improved both videography and story telling over the last two years. So I will share here occasionally.

Everyone else was cooking dinner or enjoying a fire. I had a private view of the sunset. #AppalachianTrail #sunsets #backpacking #zen #shenandoah #hiking #landscape

Last year, I mentioned to a hiking friend that I wanted to add native flowers to my beds. I gave the Virginia spiderwort as an example. They were growing like weeds in her yard and she gave me one! Now it is in bloom! #nativeplants #springflowers #nativeflowers #appalachiantrail #hiking

I'm bothered by "outdoor" profiles that use AI to create perfect/utopian "photos". I'm initially impressed until something doesn't seem quite real. AI is easy and fun. But it uses an insane amount of energy and natural resources, especially fresh water. I don't 💙 AI photos. #rant

I took my 300mm lens with me on my evening walk. At least I got one shot before it flew away. #birdphotography #lakelife #hiking

A beautifully gilled fungi that I would call "fancy" if I we're naming things. #mushrooms #fungi #hiking #nature

I don't know my #mushrooms. I started paying attention to them after going on a mushroom hike a few years ago. I sent the first photo to my expert friend but I failed to take a photo of ) the underside, so never got an ID. #nature

It's hard to get my dog to slow down long enough for me to take mushroom photos. But I love looking for mushrooms! Oddly, I don't like eating them. #hiking #mushrooms #nature

A brief distraction from the real world for you. Let me know what you think of it! 💦🥾⛰️ #hiking #backpacking #appalachiantrail #sectionhiking #thelongtrail #nativeflowers

Hard call, best call? Today was good hiking. However, the opportunities to get off trail to avoid downpours, even snow in the days ahead created logistical problems. With wet clothing, hypothermia becomes a concern. Four votes for heading home. #appalachiantrail #backpacking #hiking

Dang, its wet and cold! Glad I'm feeling fit. This would be lovely if the weather didn't stink! #appalachiantrail #backpacking #hiking
