At just one inch tall, I’m one of the tiniest Dala horses around. I love traveling around my home state of Alaska and other places as opportunities arise. I’ll be posting new photos here as well as favorites from over the years. Join me on my travels!

Next to a tiny mossy waterfall at almost 4000 feet, I found the tiniest alpine veronica (Veronica wormskjoldii).

Tiny mushrooms spotted on a stump covered in moss and lichen. Seen along Winner Creek Trail in Girdwood, in the northernmost temperate rainforest in North America.

We had a beautiful weekend in Alaska, perfect for a bit of spring foraging.

I can’t imagine a more perfect kind of fungi- both tiny AND orange!

Another sign of spring in AK! Baby fireweed (Chamaenerion angustifolium) plants all over the place.
