Botanist 🌵 Hiker 🏔️ Skier ⛷️

A midday view of a single snow-covered peak with ski runs crisscrossing amongst the trees below blue skies.
A photo of a Joshua tree community with the words “Yucca brevifolia, Yucca jaegeriana, Joshua tree” over the photo. Below, a title says the same with subheaders “written: May 2025” and “contributors: Taryn R. Brahmsteadt - 1st Author, Kristin Zouhar - 1st Editor, Robin J. Innes - 2nd Editor”
Three hikers walk through a saturated mountain meadow with slabby granite rocks and conifer-dotted slopes.
People cheer AOC in a packed stadium with 7,500 seats, with additional people standing on the arena floor.
Two turtles emerge from the depths of turquoise and tan waters off the cliffside to take a breath at the surface before disappearing in the waves.
A young Jones’ bluestar (Amsonia jonesii) planted with rocks around the base. A blue heeler and Chesapeake bay retriever sit in the background.
Moody clouds over snowy ski runs cutting through a conifer forest. Snowy mountains dominate the background.
A group of scientists and supporters marching in the Stand Up for Science event in Missoula, Montana. The line of marchers extends in front of the photographer and passes in front of a brick building with a clock tower. Marchers hold signs and a few walk with their dogs. The call and response is “what do we do when science (or research/the environment/vaccines/etc.) is under attack?” “Stand up, fight back!”
A poster reading “Hands off our public lands” for a rally for public lands on March 9 at 11:00 at McCormick Park in Missoula. For those who can’t join for the march, they can meet at the marchers at the courthouse around 12:30.
A poster that reads “Hands off our public lands” for a March 9, 11 am rally and march, starting at McCormick Park. If people can’t participate in the march, they can meet us at the courthouse at about 12:30.

A snowy scene of a still mountain lake with crisp reflections of the snowy adjacent rocky, treed slopes. A dead branch lies along the shore in the foreground. Skies are cloudy.
A selfie taken by a skier, with a second skier standing behind her and looking at the camera.
A skier skis past the videographer through an open area with a few snow-covered boulders in the midst of a conifer forest.
A view from a bridge of a mostly frozen river with several inches of snow on it and a few unfrozen patches of flowing water. A second bridge is visible in the background along with some several-stories-tall buildings along the river. The shadow of the bridge the photo was taken from and the shadow of a lamppost are visible on the snow covering the frozen river below.
Jagged pieces of ice form the frozen surface of a river, with a light dusting of snow in sheltered pockets. A smoother, more recently frozen portion of the river channel snakes in the near distance. In the far distance is an attractive walking bridge with golden lamps and the slope of a hill lost in the haze of the coming storm.
From a skier’s POV: moving slowly through widely-spaced, immature conifers on untracked snow. Tree-covered, gently sloping mountains dominate the background below broken clouds and blue skies.
