Journaling Happiness
@alycearmstrong.bsky.social
With a lifelong passion for learning, for years I’ve travelled the world virtually. Jan 2025, I began sharing the things that feed my soul here. A visual storytelling, just for you. As I learn I share other things here: @dailynewsstories.bsky.social
How cool is this?
Sub-adult eagle.
The eagle eyes the camera set-up closely and likely seeing its reflection in the dome it even throws a couple karate kicks. The camera clarity is great . A gift!!

Meet the Piping Plovers, small shorebirds with giant hearts!
As soon as they hatch, the fluffy chicks begin exploring the world on their tiny orange legs, but they never stray far from the protection of their parent!

The tiny “Japanese Snow Fairy is a subspecies of the long-tailed tit. With its snow-white feathers, round shape, and innocent expression, it’s considered one of the most adorable creatures in the world.

The Magpie meet-up in my yard started last week with two visitors. Tonight I count 20 plus 3 doves

Our visitors are exceptionally chatty at dawn ~ driving my husband crazy while I find them interesting and entertaining. Twenty however may be a tad too many.

Can I teach them tricks?

Imagine being smaller than this cute little hedgehog & being this close! Don’t worry, as long as you’re not an insect, beetle, worm, caterpillar, slug, or earwig, he likely won’t eat you. 📸 by Logan Haas #wildlife

Mating Season - Yikes!
"As the Impalas fought for their mate, the evening backlight really added to the frames. I realized for the first time how important impalas can be for a wildlife photo session which had me speechless for the next few hours.”
