Whatever you do, do not be a people that appear fearful, tearful, or paralyzed.
A couple of years ago we had robins nesting under my porch.
I guess it's pretty well rated among birds because a red finch came to check the exact same place where this turtle dove decided to take a rest.

Speaking of #zines, Nature Loved and Lost is out today from Filter Feeder! supporting wildfire relief efforts in LA.
Theme: “how we process both joy and grief in our relationships with nature and community.”
There’s so much wonderful work on these pages. I’m pleased to share that my poem “veilator” has a space here too.

A citizen science project to characterize sourdough starters based on aroma, time to rise, height of rise and appearance and to see how these factors vary depending on geographic location and flour type: https://robdunnlab.com/projects/wildsourdough/

I was so caught up in the delusion of success. You know. The one where you think, if only you reach this thing you're happy, you'll have arrived, you'll finally have time to blaaaah. Some of us mistakenly conclude that #success is the goal, rather than #joy. And in my dark night of the soul I discovered that all that some of us need/want to do is make room for the joy. Maybe success is a tool to get that. Maybe not.

Three good things:
1) succulent bloom! (see photo below)
2) tasty apple pie
3) blowing soap bubbles (which were appreciated by a kid in a Spiderman shirt, which might be number 4 lol)
