Tumalo Falls Near Bend Oregon

Tucked into the pine-scented Deschutes National Forest just 14 miles west of Bend, Oregon, Tumalo Falls is one of Central Oregon’s most iconic and beloved waterfalls. This striking 97-foot plunge over a basalt cliff captures the essence of the region’s rugged natural beauty.

Beau took me to the NIWRA, today. We had lots of fun, walking in the rain & seeing all the #wildlife living there.

North Island Wildlife Recovery Association #NIWRA is a #nonprofit, world-class #rehabilitation facility situated on 8 acres of immaculately manicured grounds, caring for #animals with all types of needs, including birds with broken wings, orphaned black bears, electrocuted eagles and much more!

NIWRA’s main goals are to:
#Reintroduce as many animals back to the wild as possible.
#Educate the public about wildlife and environmental issues.

Gorgeous early evening in #KulleetBay yesterday.
Seen from the beach at the rez.
#Stzuminus #FirstNation territory stretches over 1,200 hectares which includes four reserves; Say-la-quas 10, Squaw-hay-one 11, Oyster Bay 12, and Chemainus 13.
Stz’uminus First Nation members speak Hul’qumi’num.
The Stzʼuminus are well-known for their war canoes. The vessels can range from 19 to 52 feet long. They are made of cedar and hand carved.

From last Summer. At the BC Government House Music on the Lawns outdoor concert series.

Bald eagles are big aggressive hunters but get run off by smaller birds. A fitting metaphor for people (crows and gulls) to keep up the pressure on the current regime (the bald eagle).

This eagle had its eye on something at the beach. Chased by gulls and crows it flew over me and perched on a pole. More harassing by crows and gulls and it left the area. Have seen this bird harassment before. Relentless pressure. #pnw #pacificnorthwest #cascadia #resist #resistance2025

Standing in front of Multnomah Falls, you can’t help but feel the power of nature’s masterpiece. The water plunges from 620 feet above, carving its way through lush green cliffs, creating a scene straight out of a dream. 🌿💦 Whether you’re a hiker, a photographer, or just someone in search of breathtaking beauty, this Oregon gem never disappoints. ✨

A beautiful moss covered Western red #cedar #tree - still unprotected.
Only a human, with a compromised & unwell soul, would be OK killing an elder tree this magnificent. Some things are just plain wrong.

These ancient old growth trees are essential to fighting accelerated #ClimateChange. #OldGrowth ecosystems in our coastal temperate rainforests supports much biodiverse lifeforms. The naturally moist environment helps to lower impacts of wildfires & other natural disasters that have increased as our governments continue to fund & enable more ecocidal projects.
