Very far away in a pond, so hard to ID without familiarity. Not in iNaturalist so far as I can tell, so similarly difficult to go off other IDs.
San Mateo county, general vicinity of Portola Redwoods SP.
Scale insect on the underside of a needle on Western Hemlock (Pinaceae: Tsuga heterophylla).
Another individual on a nearby needle can be seen here:

Newtonbrook Creek Ravine, from Finch Av East south to Forest Grove Drive.
Growing at edge of spruce/fir forest and creek along with Alnus incana. ID based on large opposite reddish buds on orange-gray twigs in wet habitat.
Extremely fragrant
Dosewallips state park along the maple valley trail. The whole lengthe of the trail has experienced die off. Noted a lot of herb Robert where dead ferns located. Is herb Robert allelopathic? No sign of drought stress in western redcedar or grand fir canopy.
Viburnum opulus var. opulus, V. opulus var. americanum or a hybrid of the two varieties? On the petioles, note the intermedidate features of the glands and grooves on the petioles--shallow (var. americanum) but mostly smooth (var. opulus) and of the stipules--both club shaped (var. americanum) and slightly tapered (in var. opulus they are tapered). And the underside of the pictured leaf is smooth (var. opulus) and not hairy (var. americanum). This is a small shrub (~0.5 m) growing on the edge of a marsh.
The sequence of the photos will be reordered later, and the location accuracy increased.
I’m not sure, it’s some type of cypress in Point Defiance Park.
