More wildlife cams via Audubon!
Bears! Ospreys! Flamingos! Manatees! and many others from all over the world. Just because you’re sheltering in place doesn’t mean you can’t visit Brazil, Ecuador, Tanzania, or even California.
The Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco has made its current exhibit available as an online walk through the galleries.
They also host online events, and each day has a special activity—some geared for adults, some for adults who are homeschooling kids of all ages.
Not just for school age kids! Audubon has created a page of shelter-in-place nature activities to provide education and entertainment. It’s updated once a week with new lessons and activities.
Cutting Loose
– William Stafford
Sometimes from sorrow, for no reason,
you sing. For no reason, you accept
the way of being lost, cutting loose from
all else and electing a world
where you go where you want to.
Arbitrary, sound comes, a reminder
that a steady center is holding
all else. If you listen, that sound
will tell you where it is, and you
can slide your way past trouble.
Certain twisted monsters
always bar the path – but that’s when
you get going best, glad to be
lost, learning how real it is
here on the earth, again and again.
The US National Park Service has collected the links to its various wildlife web cams on one page!
Bear Cams, Ocean Cams, and yes, even Bald Eagle Cams!
If you can’t go to the park, the park can come to you!
