Watched this barred owl silently fly up from the ground to a tree on this morning's saunter.

Love these Steller's Jays. 😃

Snowy morning visitor this morning. I love these intelligent, gorgeous Steller's Jays.

Another blue sky day in the Pacific Northwest. Loving it but we do need more rain.

Great delight this morning watching both this Hairy Woodpecker and this Ruby-crowned Kinglet.

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to and watching Raven while sauntering this morning.

I was in the right place at the right time to take this phone photo this morning.

Sunset last night as I sauntered along a Puget Sound beach.

Wisconsin currently ranks 18th for total installed solar capacity according to SEIA.

It's easy to get motivated when there's a sunrise like this one this morning.

Stepped outside last evening and saw the waxing crescent moon and Venus before fog and clouds rolled in. Hand held phone photo.

Very nice to see that "The Mountain" was out today. Good reminder that beauty is everywhere even when feeling surrounded by discord.

Last sunset of November. Time seems to fly.

Definitely real. Here are a couple more.

A little time outdoors in nature is the best self-care these days - or any day. Watched this great blue heron hunting while I was on this morning's saunter.

Little dark-eyed junco surveying the world from deck table this morning.

Watched this bald eagle bathing earlier this week. First time seeing this. Phone photo taken while sauntering around a pond.

While deeply concerned about the health of democracy & our planet, I also know the importance of finding beauty in the world to maintain balance. In addition to advocating for policies & tech that can help with the climate crisis, I will occasionally share phone photos from my daily saunters.
