My friend Nick makes his own advent calendar each year.

He may be a genius.

Been going on a lot of camera-less walks recently. On those, if I see something pretty, the phone has to suffice. Here's four shots from three walks (top and bottom left were taken today).

I recently learned that licorice ferns (Polypodium glycyrrhiza) often live on bigleaf maple trees (Acer macrophyllum).

I had always admired this kind of moss monster, but I am only now realizing they are almost all maples. 💚
