Good morning! Cloudless sunrises aren’t super interesting, so today I focused on the beauty of the waves for your 10 minutes of #OceanDevotion peace & calm.

What is up with these incredibly cheap prices? Brisbane to Boston (one way).

Never seen anything like this…

Please, for the love of…everything, verify the crazy sounding quotes/news before you blindly reshare cuz they got you into high dudgeon.

Thinking cap on! If it sounds too absurd, check first. Satire that punches up is WELL deserved, especially now, but don’t share satire as fact!

Don’t see pale-headed rosellas very often. Isn’t it pretty?

Friday afternoon happy place: there’s nothing like an outdoor lap swim with a pair of waterproof headphones for stress relief at the end of a long week! 😊

The average water level measured at Virginia Key (near #Miami) set a new monthly record high in October, which is also the new *all-time* record high month.
I also feel confident that it was the highest monthly water level there since the last interglacial period... ~120,000 years ago.

Thanks to everyone who's bought me a coffee!

Your generosity not only fuels my very early mornings, but it's helping save the ocean too.

Each month, I'm giving 10% of all tips to Oceana, the world's largest ocean conservation org. You can also donate directly to them!

No #OceanDevotion for a few days. I’m off the grid, in the hills, in the middle of nowhere, working on a book deadline.

The pic does not do the beauty and serenity of this place justice.

Need some ocean? Plenty of videos to enjoy on my YouTube channel. 😊

Good morning!

Such interesting, changing light this morning, so I did two videos, different angles. See them both on my #OceanDevotion 10-Minute Sunrises playlist: tinyurl.com/3k748c8h

Here’s your preview & minute of peace & calm:

Good stormy morning! So windy today it blew my tripod over.

Woot! It’s always nice to receive such recognition!

I’m proud to have worked on all three of these books in some way, but especially proud of being co-author of PIKA COUNTRY—CLIMATE CHANGE AT THE TOP OF THE WORLD.

Good morning! No #OceanDevotion sunrise this morning due to a 5am meeting, but I have something very special for you regardless!

Ever wondered what it's like on an icebreaker in Antarctica? I filmed this on my first expedition. Sometimes you have to go back to go forward. Enjoy!

Each day on my afternoon walk, I pass this area with a bunch of baby water dragons. They’re so cute!
