Exciting day in elementary school: both of my kids joined student council. Civic engagement and public service starts young.
Close up of a whiteboard calendar day for Wednesday. The month is cut off, but the letters that are visible are the “ber” from December, followed by a 2 at the beginning of 2024. In the square for Wednesday is a handwritten 4 in blue dry erase marker and then alternating pink and black letters spelling out “student council” with a smiley face after it. The handwriting is that of an elementary school student.

Here’s one I managed to get last week.
Brown roadrunner blends almost seamlessly with the background of matching brown gravel.

It’s always a good day to be in the mountains.
A snowy ponderosa pine forest. The ground is covered with snow. The sun is visible through the trees and rising fog. It is a beautiful snowy scene.

Beautiful stormy day in Zion National Park. Couldn’t have asked for more.
The Virgin River cuts through Zion Canyon. There are yellow trees and scrub brush and dried grasses along the banks. It is cloudy. The canyon wall can be seen on right side of the photo in the background.

I love this. I’ve been trying to do the same.
Photo of two drying stalks of mullein in a suburban neighborhood yard. There is a new yellow bloom on one of the stalks, which contrasts with the fallen leaves and blurred trees and the gray of the sidewalk, road, and sky in the background.

Pelican and gulls on a rock off the Oregon Coast this summer. Watching the pelicans work their way up the coast in the morning was meditative.
Brown pelicans and gulls sit on a rock covered in mussels and seal life on the Oregon Coast. There are several birds in the air. The photo also shows waves along the beach and a stretch of sand leading toward the water. The picture is a bit blurry because the morning fog was still burning off. A fog bank sits just behind the rock at the horizon.

Bullock’s oriole, doing what orioles do. Took this photo this past spring in Southern Oregon. #birds
A Bullock’s oriole, which has bright yellow feathers and a black cap, hangs upside down in a tree. The bottom of the bird is facing the camera so you mostly see an upside down oriole’s belly with his head tucked toward it. The top of the photo has a lot of branches with seed pods. The bottom half is green grass with a fence across it.

Sometimes you just need to look at animals who love each other. This is Adorable (the cat) and Bennett (the dog). They both lower my blood pressure.
A brown tabby cat cuddles with a brown and black spaniel mix. The dog’s head is resting on the cat’s head and the cat has its eyes closed. Both are very calm.

I really love this picture of a mama mallard’s feet. I was sitting with my Mom by a lake in the Southern Oregon Cascades when she came by. Something about duck feet makes me happy. I googled “anatomy of ducks feet” to make the alt description because are they toes? That makes me happy too.
Close up photo of a female mallard’s feet. She has orange toes with brown leathery webbing. She was walking on gray small gravel. The photo also shows the feathers on her breast which are small and brown and black in a sort of houndstooth pattern.

Maybe I’ll just share memes? Or pictures of bees on flowers? Or letters by Heather Cox Richardson? Balms of the soul, I think.
A close-up photo of a yellow and black bumblebee on purple lupine. The background is blurred, green grass.

Tracking down everyone from previous platforms is tedious. I’m glad you found me. Enjoy my favorite meme.
Four scenes in which a bird sits on a log and roasts a marshmallow over a campfire with the following captions: 1) Life is like roasting a marshmallow; 2) You have to keep it moving, so it cooks evenly; 3) It takes time and patience; 4) F*ck%ng $h*t! The marshmallow is on fire in the fourth frame.
