Hubby and I spent yesterday polishing specimens: some Hampton Butte petrified wood, Dry Creek petrified and agatized wood, a petrified burl, two pieces of Paulina pink #agate limbcasts, and a sweet little #quartz nodule with a tiny #druzy vug.

Tumalo Falls is running fierce this year!

This trail above Tumalo Falls (#CentralOregon near #BendOregon) isn't quite ready for primetime yet -- but the dog still wants to go!

Shevlin Park! A beautiful riparian area with running trails and picnic benches scattered throughout. Enjoyed a trip with my little one on my day off. #outdoors #parks #CentralOregon

Such a fun #moth find! First thing this morning, hanging out near the bathrooms. Gently relocated using a stick and watched them fly away once they were warm enough! #CeanothusSilkmoth #outdoors #nature #CentralOregon #NewberryVolcanicMonument #RangerThings

A sunset view of Seekseekqua (Mt Jefferson) from Redmond Oregon. The art vs. the inspiration (photo by me). #seekseekqua #mtjefferson #oregon #redmondoregon #centraloregon #oregonart #oregonartist

A #toad peeked out from under a rock, keeping me company while I sat at the #BigObsidianFlow in #CentralOregon. As of this past Thursday (18 May 2023) it was still covered in snow and the rails were down. I was there with other National Forest and DYF rangers to scope out accessibility for the public. #nature

Chimney Rock (Central Oregon near Prineville) last Sunday -- pretty much the perfect spring hike. Bonus: The Crooked River is flowing nicely. #centralOregon #bendOregon #hiking #getOutside

I plan to enact the Live Premiere of my #MeToo megapoem "listicle" whilst opening for Leanne Grabel at Paulina Springs Books on April 6. Hope to see you there! It's not gonna be easy doing this one live in a small town... (signed, my other self, Tiffany Lee Brown, poetess)

#CentralOregon #Oregon folks, why is it I have never heard a native name for the 3 Sisters?
My lil' small-town newspaper column came out today. A chitchatty piece about... chitchat. Including Mastodon.

Heading off to HarvALago at #BlackButteRanch for a little over a week. Expect a decidedly rural bent to my toots for a bit. #centraloregon #ThereIsAPlace

Beautiful outside. Gorgeous sunshine. Lovely snow, but not too deep. Maybe I'll take a walk. [Checks thermometer] 3 degrees Fahrenheit? Uhhh, how about Mastodon, coffee, and a chunk of dark chocolate instead.

So, I kinda love living in Central O. By all means, do not tell your friends. I suppose half of them have already moved here anyway. Here's a nearby sight: Smith Rock State Park. Lovely, eh?

The sun's coming out in Central Oregon. I woke up too early and I'm cranky. And I dabbled in a tiny bit of caffeine, which I rarely do.
Also: I like ducks!

Are you #InBend #CentralOregon? I am building a #List so I can carefully track posts from my contacts who have this in common, and I want you on it! Lists are a great way to talk with a smaller group over days to weeks, so building your own similar list might help you enjoy this place.
