Walk with me: Visit to a high-elevation red spruce forest. The red spruce (Picea rubens) forest on top of Red Spruce Knob, the ninth highest peak in West Virginia, provides a bittersweet glimpse back in time to the primeval beauty and solitude of such places prior to the arrival of the logging companies in the mid-Nineteenth to early Twentieth centuries. The loggers stripped the mountains bare and set in motion the massive wildfires that burned away everything, including the soil itself, down to solid bedrock. Almost a century later, the forest is regenerating and in some places, such as Red Spruce Knob, has regained the richness and vitality of a healthy boreal ecosystem.

From top: a view of Red Spruce Knob, in the far distance, from the Highland Scenic Highway overlook; Canada mayflower (Maianthemum canadense), a ubiquitous understory component of the forest, along with mountain woodsorrel, yellow clintonia (a.k.a. blue-bead lily), hobblebush viburnum, Indian cucumber, green false hellebore, and various mosses and ferns; yellow clintonia (Clintonia borealis) in bloom; pink lady's slipper (Cypripedium acaule); green false hellebore (Veratrum viride) on eastern hay-scented fern (Dennstaedtia punctilobula); and mountain woodsorrel (Oxalis montana).

Joss Whedon can fuck off. Dude saw that the directors and writers were heading towards Hawk/Widow in the MCU and threw in Hulk/Widow and gave Clint a family because fuck Hawk/Widow fans, right? Also fuck what the actors want too.

I DON'T KNOW WHO THESE CHARACTERS ARE BUT I AGREE! FUCK JOSS WHEDON!!

I’ll literally just do my makeup and my hair and like maybe some self care shit and straight up sit here and admire myself all day for my birthday like the true Taurus sun (and Venus) that I am bro. like. I don’t give a fuck because DAMN SON I look so good and FEEL so good since I’ve changed something about my appearance up a bit again. like. life isn’t so bleak rn tbh but I know that’s only because I feel great and excited and just so much lighter and free than I did before with my hair and extensions done again lmao. just beyond thrilled to be rid of the pink, it overstayed it’s welcome this time around and I’m glad it’s GONE (for now, I’ll bring it back again eventually) lmao

but like. y’all can’t tell me NOTHIN rn man. I feel so ALIVE and THRIVING and HAPPY and I look like a fkn GODDESS omfg. like. I’m literally gonna go fight god just because I can simply due to the fact that I look fuckin amazing and he wouldn’t stand a chance against a bitch like this tbh LMAO

Forest is green and smells alive again. It makes me so happy <3 Work on final qualification work is in progress. Please cross your fingers for me that I’ll handle it and break this barrier of yet unknown.

Day Date at Spruce Knob-Seneca Rocks National Recreation Area, Part 1. Most couples would probably equate a "date" to a nice dinner out and a Marvel adventure movie, but Blake and I, being hopeless nature fanatics and aspiring satyrs without hooves, equate it to mean "putzing around in the mountains". The timing was perfect: the haze from the Canadian wildfires, which has been choking most the US Mid-Atlantic and Northeast for the past week, had mostly moved on, replaced by a crisp blue sky with a light breeze.

From top: the view from the Rich Mountain Overlook on Old Route 33, heading toward Harman; Blake communing with the mystic creek chubs in Gandy Creek, one of the best brook trout streams in the Mid-Atlantic region; cow parsnip (Heracleum maximum), a mildly phototoxic beauty that Native Americans relied on for food and medicine; a forest composition of false green hellebore (Veratrum viride), ferns, wild geranium (Geranium maculatum), and golden Alexander (Zizia aurea); a close-up of golden Alexander, a lovely, spring-blooming member of the carrot family; the wetlands complex at Spruce Knob Lake; shining ladies' tresses (Spiranthes lucida), a spring to early summer-blooming bog orchid recognizable from its bright yellow labellum; bunchberry (Cornus canadensis), which can be easily mistaken for a spring-blooming forb but is actually a dwarf dogwood; and a feisty eastern garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis), whose saliva contains a mild neurotoxin that is deadly to its prey but harmless to humans.
