What makes this beautiful?

Outside my window in North Texas yesterday

So just got back from walking up the street to check on the fire by our house in Simi Valley.

Got home and saw Mama duck quacking away with 2 ducklings. Then one of them fell down the storm drain. Then you hear more down there. 🥲

Figured out how to get the man cover off, only to hear them further down the pipe where I couldn’t fit.

Then heard them across the street by another storm drain. Was able to get down there and found all 5 of them huddled together. Put them into a pool net and then coaxed mama duck down the street and over to the wash and let them go.

Mama duck and her ducklings all waddled off together.

watched her make a nest in a flower bush yesterday. Completely unbothered by me and doesn't even leave the yard when I run the lawnmower

Today was my last day in my SVP role. I made the decision to resign last month—with no agenda other than to rest, reset, and make space for life outside of work.

On my early morning walk, I came across this “root man.” It felt like a quiet sign.

A reminder to stay grounded, trust the pause, and keep my arms open to whatever comes next.

Thank you Mother Nature.

A deep thinking session.

United Nations Champion of the Earth Sir David Attenborough has devoted his life to revealing humanity’s profound connection with nature and sharing its wonders with the world. His work continues to inspire generations to cherish, respect, and protect our planet. Thank you for helping millions of us fall in love with the natural world, and for your tireless dedication to defending it for future generations.

Sorry about the wind noise and general poor filming. This little guy was adorable.
