Things that Made me Happy, 2024, Part 1

It's becoming a year-end tradition for me;  labelling a folder "Things that made me Happy" and filling it with photos left "for later". This starts off this year's collection.

Today: Things that Made me Happy: Green Stuff.

Oregon grapes, Roberts Lake, September

Seaweeds coating the remains of H.M.C.S. Matane. Oyster Bay, August.

(I wrote about this ship in 2017; "Rust in Peace". I visit it regularly, at the lowest tides of the year.)

The monkey tree on my lawn. Here it is, in 2016.

Look at it now!

Moss on an old shake roof. Coal Creek Historic Park, December

Nurse stump, CR Airport trail, August

Bee balm, Monarda sp., August. Bees love it!

Ya se está haciendo tradición: al final del año, llenar un archivo con fotos dejadas "para más tarde", y nombrarlo "Cosas que me Hicieron Feliz". Aquí empieza la colección de Fotos Felices para el año 2024, con Cosas Verdes.
  1. Uva de Oregon (mahonia) en Lago Roberts, septiembre
  2. Algas marinas cubriendo lo que queda de H.C.M.S. Matane. Oyster Bay, agosto. Escribí sobre este barco en 2017; "Rust in Peace". Cada año lo voy a mirar cuando las mareas están a lo más bajas.
  3. El pequeño pino araucaria, frente a mi casa en 2016.
  4. ¡Y míralo ahora!
  5. Musgos en el techo de una cabaña de troncos. En el Parque Histórico de Coal Creek, diciembre.
  6. Tocón enfermera, agosto.
  7. Flores de Monarda sp., en agosto. Flor muy apreciada por las abejas.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
