About Me

I was raised in Illinois and live in Eugene where I thoroughly enjoy exploring all angles of the decadently green pacific northwest with my husband and kid. You’ll often find me kneeling in a forest getting my camera all up in a tiny mushroom or some dewy patch of moss sparkling in the sun.                                                    *AKA Johanna Laemle

MY Perspective

This site was created by a CIS white person (she/her/hers) living on Kalapuya land who believes in science, respect, that love is love, and Black Trans Lives Matter.  10% of profits are donated to local tribes, most recently in support of The Warm Springs Museum and  the lower Chinook tribes seeking federal recognition. Visit https://warmsprings-nsn.gov/program/the-museum-at-warm-springs/ and  https://chinooknation.org/ for more details.

"Attending the Birth of a Queen Bee"

Bees just like the queen bee in the photo about to emerge from her queen cell into sunlight have helped humans for thousands of years. Bees pollinate our food crops, and share with us the anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, anti-bacterial - and tasty - fruits of their labor, honey! With the dangers of pesticides and disease threatening bees and therefore our own earthly food supply, it's our turn to help them. Planting diverse native gardens free from pesticides helps our little dancing friends lead each other to the healthiest and tastiest flowers. 

I took this image  image in 2016 way up close to a backlit comb of a bee hive at a friend's house. Watching the bees come and go, tending to the queen as she fought to emerge was a powerful experience I will forever cherish.
