Crossing the beautiful rolling hills of the California Coast Range - strikingly unpopulated, they seem to be a vast wilderness, yet so close to major urban centers.

We made it about 3 of 6 miles into the hike before turning back, for safety reasons. The hiking staycation is proving fruitful. I feel stronger and healthier. :)

Found a small, secluded creek in the Coast Range. #Sunday #Stunday #Water #Reflections #Nature #Photography #Stream #PNW #CoastRange #Trees #Forests #Explore #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #KeepGoing #YouMatter
Bright green big leaf maple tree leaves and branches are reflected on the sunlit, wavy surface of a small stream. Bits of the blue sky above and the muddy, brown rocks under the water are also visible in spots, so it’s kind of a dreamy, multidimensional scene.

Roadside
The roads out in the Coast Range are a little windy and rough, but the views are unforgettable.

A photo of a winding country road leading off into forested mountains. On the side of the road in the middle of the picture is a black pickup truck, where a few people stand around waiting. In the distance is a tall, verdant hillside covered in evergreen trees.

Found this gorgeous specimen of what iNaturalist says is “Hypogymnia imshaugii”. So, maybe it’s that. It’s really cool, whatever it is. #Lichen #LichenSubscribe #FungiFriends #FungiFriday #iNaturalist #Nature #Photography #Hiking #PNW #CoastRange #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #DontGiveUp #YouMatter
A mass of pale, whitish green, branchy, tube-like, antler-like Imshaug’s tube lichen lies on the mulchy, weedy ground at the head of a coast range hiking trail. It’s also got these darker, brownish cup-like disc parts dotting the main mass. Super interesting! If my iNaturalist selection is right, this lichen species prefers conifer forests, which makes sense because that’s exactly where I was. A closer picture of the mass of pale, whitish green, branchy, tube-like, antler-like Imshaug’s tube lichen lying on the mulchy, weedy ground at the head of a coast range hiking trail. It’s also got these darker, brownish cup-like disc parts dotting the main mass. In this close-up, the antler-like tubes also have tiny black dots. The brownish little cups are glossy in the inside too! If my iNaturalist selection is right, this lichen species prefers conifer forests, which makes sense because that’s exactly where I was.

No snow. We haven't even had any rain for a few weeks, which always makes me nervous in winter. But frost? Boy howdy, do we have frost. In the Oregon coast range, in spots that are in shadow all day, it builds up nice and thick.

Thick crystalline frost on dead grass. The crystals are bright white and look like snow.
