Are you looking for positive, hopeful stories about nature and the environment? Check out the Sacred Wonderland #Newsletter. Once a month, it highlights news and other items of interest about national parks, plus art, culture, and people making a difference. Each issue features a photograph, a book worth reading, and #poetry—I send it on the third Monday of every month.

A #bluebird in the backyard. This was a delightful surprise after 24 years living in an intensely urban neighborhood in a Southern City—I never saw bluebirds there, but here they appear daily.#birds #BirdPhotography #NaturePhotography #PhotoFriday

Here's a question for today: What would the world look like based on a Capitalism of Care and Cooperation, instead of conquest and competition?

Large, spectacular #waterfalls make great images for calendars, posters, and landscape paintings. But I am charmed by smaller cascades, like this one on the Virgin River in Zion National Park, #Utah. Though often overlooked, these modest waterfalls have their own enchanting appeal. Attending to the small things in life often brings large rewards.#ZionNationalPark #rivers #NaturePhotography #LandscapePhotography #SacredWonderland

I’m back! It’s been over six months away from Mastodon. I took a brief hiatus while relocating to a different state and settling into a new life. I expected to be away only a month or so, but as they say, the best laid plans... (or in my case, no plan at all). In any case, I’m excited about reconnecting and engaging again with the Fediverse.Despite the stress and chaos of moving, I kept up with the Sacred Wonderland Newsletter. This month’s edition went out on Monday. You can learn more about it, read the March issue, and sign up for it at https://www.sacredwonderland.us/newsletter/ .What have you been up to while I was absent?#SacredWonderland #Newsletter
