Definitely! f you pick the big green leaves and rip them open they smell just like a skunk. We used to pick them and chase each other around with them as little kids

They have a mild odor until the leaf, as CnC points out is broken... then it is quite potent.
And yes...just like skunk.

Olympia oysters.
I've had oysters on the brain lately so...this was a necessary post.
Yum.

I would savor those. Mmmmm . . .

I think many people don't take the time to appreciate them and tend to just swallow oysters quickly. I like to keep them on my palate, chew them slowly and enjoy them thoroughly.

^^^ there is just nothing in the world like these rivers we have here...rocky and wooded...crystalline water that I can feel the cold seeping into my boots.
The sound of the rushing water as it hurries to the Pacific.

Thank you Tom!
This picture put a huge grin on my face.

Great Blue Heron
Nisqually Wildlife Refuge, WA

The first bird I ever properly took notice of was the heron. Such majestic birds and quite humorous at times too.

As for what I like to see: birds, landscapes, rivers, lakes, and those mountains. So, that's quite a wide range of options .
