Who loves a good thunderstorm?
Have you ever seen a Cumulonimbus, or thunder cloud up close?
Generally, cumulonimbus clouds are recognized by a flat, “anvil-like“ top and usually accompanied by smaller cumulus clouds.
The shelf, or top of the anvil may precede the main cloud's vertical structure for many miles - which is why you may see/hear lightning/thunder very close to you even though the storm has not reached you yet.
It’s always best to seek shelter when you see lightning as a storm is usually not far behind ⚡️
Have you ever seen one of these?
It’s a “Yucca” plant, specifically a Soaptree Yucca.
This one is located within White Sands National Park. However, they are native to southwestern North America, specifically in the Sonoran Desert, Chihuahuan Desert, southern Nevada, southwestern Utah, and northern Mexico.
Soaptree Yuccas are the state flower of New Mexico.
Yuccas thrive in well drained sand making dunes the perfect landscape for them to call home.
Indigenous cultures utilized yuccas for a variety of purposes from food, soap, weaving, and medicinal needs.

Did you know?
Bald Eagles aren’t actually bald, their name comes from being “white headed.”
Who is up for a little stargazing? ✨
With the increasing problem of light pollution it’s getting harder and harder to find “pristine dark sky.”
Luckily, the International Dark Sky Association, or IDA, seeks to preserve areas where this pristine dark sky can still be viewed.
According to their website “The International Dark Sky Places conservation program recognizes and promotes excellent stewardship of the night sky.” They also state that “As of February 2020, there are over 130 certified IDSPs in the world.”
While you don’t need to go to an IDSP to do a little stargazing, the experience is worth the adventure ✌🏻
Have a Safe & Spooky Halloween 👻
Got your Halloween costume yet? 🎃
This little guy sure does.
This is a Wooly Worm or Wooly Bear!
Despite the names it is not a worm or a bear. It’s a caterpillar, specifically the larva of the Isabella Tiger Moth.
(Cool name alert 🚨)
Some people believe that the stripes on these little creatures are the key to predicting whether we will have a harsh or mild winter!
A doctor by the name of C.H Curran studied a small sample size of woolys over eight years starting in 1948. He determined that if the rusty colored band on a wooly was WIDER the winter would be more mild, whereas the more black there is the harsher the winter.
While this isn’t accepted as scientific fact the folklore lives on. More studies have been done that show that the band size more than likely has to do with the age of the caterpillar but some still rely on that 1948 study, kind of like a certain groundhog we all know.

Where are you adventuring to this weekend?
Hope everyone’s having a Bear-y good Tuesday. 🐻
Say 👋 to this Grizzly Bear.
How do you recognize a Grizzly?
Look for:
• Dished in snout
• a noticeable hump above the shoulders
• Claws, about 4 inches long and slightly curved, making them good for digging
• Color, can vary from blonde to black
Windy day at the sand dunes? 🌾
Or the beach? 🏖
☝️Remember your @horizon_hound blanket
Stake it down with the loops
or
snap it up as a poncho to stay warm.
Just don’t forget to shake the sand off 👏
What is the name of this plant?
Most of you probably guessed:
“three leaf clover!” ☘️
You’re totally right!
Have you ever seen a four leaf clover?
What about a 21-leaf clover?
Or the world record FIFTY SIX leaf clover?
According to the Guinness Book of World Records a 56 leaf clover was found on May 10, 2009.
Although this is very rare it seems if you’re lucky enough you might just find one.
Hi, my name is Terrestrial Mollusc - but I go by “Slug.”
Some slugs can be hard to identify due to how similar they are. We are pretty sure this is a “Chocolate Arion”
While this particular little specimen is a beautiful orange/brown color they can range in color from hues of red, orange, brown, but most generally black.
Chocolate Arions are also considered “large” slugs in the fact that they can reach up to 150mm in length when fully extended.
You are most likely to find these little cuties in moist or wet areas, like along streams and in heavily wooded areas especially after rain.
They aren’t poisonous but we still wouldn’t recommend eating them as they have been known to carry parasites.
Happy Spooky Szn 👻
Some lovely photos of @peace.child enjoying her new Burnt Orange blanket getting all cozied up for autumn 🍁☺️
Looking for a quality alternative for expensive blankets?
Here’s a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review:
“ I LOVE it. So far is has come with me everywhere. I’ve used it while canyoneering in Zion National Park, at base camp before summiting Half Dome in Yosemite National Park. I let house guests use it as an extra blanket, and take it with me when I’m sleeping on a friends couch. It’s SO warm and light.
A couple of my friends have even bought one after seeing mine.
I love the snaps so you can wear it as a poncho, definitely did that in Yosemite recently (it was very cold).”
Erosion is the action of surface processes, for example water or wind flow, that removes soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust, and then transports it to another location.
This video is a small scale example of Wind Erosion on the Oregon Coast.
While the sand grains you’re seeing are being transported a short distance, eroded sediment or solutes may be transported just a few feet, or for thousands of miles.
It’s been a historic fire season in the Western U.S - from the amount of wild fires to the unusual wind patterns exacerbating the fires.
Do you live somewhere that has or is still currently being affected by wildfires?
Camping season 🏕 is in full swing!

Happy Autumnal Equinox 🍁🍂
Today is one of two days of the year where the sun is directly about the equator - which in regular people terms, means that the length of daytime and nighttime are equal!
As we in the northern hemisphere get out our sweaters and hats in anticipation of cooler weather, those in the Southern Hemisphere start to prepare for spring!
