This week it was a bit harder to find things that gave me joy. It was a tough week. All of these are actually screen shots of things I discovered before the Capitol was stormed. Under each screen shot I have placed a link which will take you to the article and/or website.

But to add a thing of beauty, I will post an old photo of mine which I featured on my FB page this week. It is one of my all-time favorites. Look for the bird.

OK to use your pic as one of my desktop backgrounds? It’s lovely. Thank you.
Your image is stunning. (Already familiar with both links.) I can certainly understand how hard it might have been to find any beauty in this past week. I’ve had a hard time keeping from hiding under the covers. Not easy holding my breath for the next 10-11 days.
Thank you for sharing this Barry Lopez essay, Kate. I’m a big fan of his but hadn’t seen this one. I was fortunate to have the chance to meet him in Seattle a few years ago and was saddened to hear of his recent passing. He will be missed.
