N8, Owls' morning hunt...
#pnw #owls #birds #forest #monochrome
Two barred owls sitting next to each other on a small broken branch of an evergreen tree, Ivy climbing up the trunk of the tree on the left. Blurred forest greenery behind. One owl is blurred because it shook it's head after scratching it.

pseudonymsupreme, I will never get tired of finding these little western blood red lady beetles in my yard. #bugstodon #beetle #ladybug #pnw

mappingsupport, His and her strawberries. First ones this year. There will be many more.

mappingsupport, Too funny. Can’t make this up.
Currently if King County WA needs to produce an evacuation map they only do so as a PDF. County emergency management (EM) staff says it would be very expensive to have county GIS staff produce an interactive evacuation map.
I volunteered to write data conversion code (geojson > kmz) so King County WA could use Google maps as an interactive evacuation map.
EM staff says policy prohibits them from using outside help that is not officially approved. So I contacted county procurement asking how I can get approved as a volunteer consultant. See pic for their reply.

ai6yr, @mappingsupport LOL the cluelessness of government sometimes has no bounds.
asbestos,
mappingsupport, Local foodbank will get some of our primo organic lettuce today.
#PNW #Gardens #Gardening #GrowYourOwn
mappingsupport, Went to the foodbank and made my pile of just-picked lettuce on one of the tables. I had quite a bit. Volunteer says "Did you grow all this"? 😲
Me: Well - I didn't steal it from the neighbors." 😁
ai6yr, @mappingsupport Looks good! I have yet to harvest enough produce in a day or two to make it worth the long drive to our foodbank (lots of gas... so unless I'm headed that way...)
KatM, Making dirt. Planting beautiful things. 🪴🧤 🌤️
mappingsupport, 1/_ 🧵 Many counties (including mine - King County WA) use the CodeRed system for alerting people about a wildfire evacuation. Recently I traded email with county staff and got some details about how this works.
If your county’s emergency management web page shows they use CodeRed then there should be a signup link. When you signup, enter your address or use the map by dragging the marker, zooming in and repeating until the marker is where you live.
If my area is ordered to evacuate then I want to get that message by every means possible. We have a landline so I entered our “Home phone” number, my cell number and my main email address that I check the most often.

Sveinbjorn, @Luke unbelievable.
Luke, @Sveinbjorn heheheh
nisemikol, I wish I'd been closer—or that this capture had a high-enough resolution that I could zoom in further without noticeably reducing the quality of the image—but even though not ideal, I love what I caught 🐶💗
She looks so happy, and that front paw hovering over the trail is so flippin' cute! Adorable 😍

mgrass, Good evening, Bellingham.
nisemikol, First time coming up on this bend in the trail on the Mima Falls Trail, and I was really taken with the scene 😍

bobco85, I didn’t realize it was National Train Day, but it was a great day for a Cascade Bicycle Club group ride to visit every light rail station on Sound Transit’s 2 Line now that it’s in operation! We were even able to use a couple of recently opened bike connections, too

oscb, Can’t believe how beautiful this was to see. Even if the pictures are so much brighter than what was visible to the naked eye it was amazing to see this for the first time.
pseudonymsupreme, I cannot fucking believe how amazing this is. #auroraborealis #nothernlights #aurora #pnw #OlympiaWA #OlyWA
