Morning clouds have given way to a beautiful day here, and I’m enjoying new birds and blooming flowers and neighborly nods from those passing by.

Because I’ve got to be honest, with a day job that requires me to stay up to date on politics, it’s been harder to focus on good things lately. So whatever you do, wherever you are, I wish you a day in which the good outweighs the bad, and a personal filter that highlights the many positive things in this world.

Speaking of looking on the bright side, it’s time for chocolate cake🙂

As mentioned, I’m still having fun watching the Fish Doorbell, but I haven’t actually seen any fish. That’s fine, it’s more of a meditation than anything (and we could all use some zen right now, amirite?) but some days the world is grey and you just want to chill out with the ocean.

For that, I give you a coral reef in Florida:

Underwater camera documents daily life on a Miami coral reef

The Coral City Camera shows endangered corals that are thriving and remarkably resilient in the heart of Miami’s busy port. The live feed has helped scientists gain a new understanding of the value and beauty of something they call “urban corals.”

A thing I learned: “Rip rap are large pieces of rock that armor a shoreline, protecting it from erosion, storm surge and sea level rise.”

Because the world is awesome, and so is science.

I know, I know, I’m a little late to be celebrating Earth Day. Which was yesterday. But deserves to be celebrated every day!

In the spirit of “yay, Earth,” I’d like to share this from NASA:

Celebrating Earth as Only NASA Can

This Earth Day, NASA is sharing how — by building on decades of innovation—we use the unique vantage point of space to observe and understand our dynamic planet in ways that we cannot from the ground.

And just for fun, you can spell out Your Name in Landsat 🛰️

“Trying hard and working hard is its own reward. It feeds the soul. It affirms your will and your power. And it radiates from you, lighting the way for all those who see you.”
