As my friend and I were driving West on Highway 24, we noticed the fog rolling in from the Bay. Oh oh. We were heading toward Inspiration Point, one of the only trails in Tilden Park that's not closed right now. When we left my...

Niamh We did take-out today. But usually I cook dinner at home. Today, everyone was craving chipotle so we ordered some. I love slow-cooker meals so, they are usually easy to prepare and cook themselves within a few hours.

Niamh I feel like people who are not directly affected by someone who is sick or are actually working in the healthcare field don´t understand or see how bad it really is. Thank you for what you do! I hope the situation gets better soon!

Niamh I love Donna Summer. My sister had a poster in her room of her and it would capture my attention everytime I went inside her room. I remember when I first heard her, I was thinking of that poster. Funny the things that stick in our mind.

nitsbubb @nitsbubb (1308) • Pune, India 14 Apr 20

A bucket of weeds...

Stacey @xstitcher (32713) • Petaluma, California 14 Apr 20

Niamh I like ladybugs. This year, I have not seen any here yet. Do you count the numbers on their backs when you see them? When I was a child, I was told the numbers of dots show how old the ladybug is :)

Something is Wrong

Jo Ann @akalinus (43366) • United States 10 Apr 20

Niamh I have noticed that we have fewer bugs. I remember when driving a few years ago, the windshield and front of the car would always be full of dead bugs. Now, not so much anymore. Less bugs means less other animals that eat them. It´s so sad. The bee population...

Tuesday's Morning Walk

[eds] @ZedSmart (19786) • Philippines 6 Apr 20

I met a flock of birds on the road during my morning walk today. They were happily chirping while hunting for food. The one in the photo was in solitude. What could be the reason why distance itself? Is the bird practiced...

Niamh Maybe it did not belong to the group of the other birds. I have a bird that sits on the fence of our house by himself all day, while other birds of a different species happily go about their day :) When you go out on your walk again, check if it hangs out...

Rescued a Grackle On My Deck

CarolDM @CarolDM (203422) • Nashville, Tennessee 13 Apr 20

Rescued a bird on my deck. A grackle (in the black bird family) flew into my patio door. The noise was so loud it sounded like a baseball hit it. I thought oh no, a bird. I slowly walked over and the grackle was on his back. I...

Taking a chance again today. Still trying to get a peek at the thrasher bird nest. I know the babies have hatched. But the male and female will not allow me to get close to the nest. They are being good parents. Today I decided I...

Niamh I always have a fern outside my door and a bird built a nest in it a few years ago. Everytime we would go outside the parents would go crazy and flutter and try to attack us when we were just walking by. I can imagine how you must have felt like :) I would...
