On my walk: birds at the beach. I love the way they all face into the wind to keep their feathers from ruffling. It also lets them use the wind to take off quickly if they need to. 🪶

Surprise! This sweet little tree frog was just looking for a place to stay cool. Not the first thing I expected to see when I reached to open the sliding screen door. She’s safely relocated now and Kermit the Frog’s It’s Not Easy Being Green keeps playing over and over in my head. 🐸

I brake for turtles! It’s nesting season and they know where they’re going—sometimes they just need a little help getting there. 🐢
