Giving things time is the key management activity we do on our

But while we can't beat time we can optimize some circumstances.

One example: leaving fallen* trees in place helps kickstart natural decaying processes. This gives room for species that aren't found in a pure production growth.

*some with help 😉🌲🌳

It's interesting to see how in just a couple of years species diversity has significantly grown with a handful of these basic changes in management.

Large tree that blew over in a storm in 2022. It's there to stay.
Root trunk and main trunk of a large pine that fell during a 2021 winter storm. It's still very dry so doesn't have a lot of stuff growing in it. The outside is already home to some stuff
Old log, probably from the 2010 partial clearcut before we owned the land. Among other things there's a bunch of woody fungi growing on it.

My wife has been pretty active in filling our yard with native plants and pollinators and she was able to catch this amazing video of a monarch in the garden. Hope this brings a smile to someone this weekend! 😀

Misty, early afternoon hike through the forest to the beach, on a rainy day. There was no one else on the trails. The beach was all foggy & isolated.

Common blue butterfly
It was not easy for me to take photographs of this beautiful butterfly, but what is impossible for me is to say its name in German.

With the light dying, trying to keep the (photographic) noise down was quite difficult.

Let this sink in for a minute...

Of all the mammals on Earth, 96% are livestock and humans.

Only 4% are wild mammals.

Of all birds in the world, 70% are chickens and other poultry, just 30% are wild.

@breadandcircuses Being something humans like to eat is a wildly successful evolutionary strategy.

I've been taking a lot of pictures of butterflies on my recent bird walks. I was happy to see this dark morph Eastern Tiger Swallowtail show me its beautiful color.
