A lone bird near the pier, stripped down to shape and posture against a simple background. Coastal stillness, held in place for a moment.
If scenes like this slow you down, sharing it helps it travel.

Nature is not a sidebar.
You can't solve the climate crisis without protecting biodiversity. Forests, oceans, and wetlands are our best allies. Deforestation is a climate weapon.

Fun fact via Canadian Wildlife Federation
Wildlife Fact: Many freshwater turtles spend the winter buried in the mud, sand or pebbles at the bottom of lakes and ponds.
They slow their metabolism in order to conserve energy and use as little oxygen as possible.
