I know we’re all fighting a lot of fires right now, some not even metaphorical. But we also need some times of rest and sanctuary from the…waves hand vaguely.
I found it today at the Bonnie View Nature Sanctuary. Wouldn’t you like to experience a respite vicariously through my photos?
I saw a cool playground. Got to admit, I was tempted to do some climbing on these structures.

I saw several birds but got no photos of any of them. However, the Merlin app took a stab at identifying them by sound.

A crane your neck to see the top tall tree:

Some really beautiful prairie grass, even if it is dormant season. The mix of hues and shapes is breathtaking if you take the time to really look. One view from across the way and one view from what it might look like for a tiny animal taking refuge in the brush. (I stuck my camera right in.)


And despite the fact that our last snow fell on *January 10*, a little bit of it remains here and there.


If all of the…waves hand vaguely…has got you stressed and anxious, try to go out into nature and move around for a while if possible. When you come back, I almost guarantee you’ll be better able to deal with it.
