The beautiful sandhill cranes can be quite active. Their movements encourage me to find more ways to find more movement outdoors when they return in spring. Look for things that encourage you to move. Perhaps it's a motivating wallpaper on your phone or a personalized background on your desktop. Sticky notes, a bulletin board, or refrigerator message can also be reminders to be active. Changing your reminder(s) occasionally can help encourage you to include movement in your life.  This photo was taken in the second warmest April so everything was a bright spring green. (April 2016 was the warmest since the 1880's when weather reporting improved.) It was taken in Harrison, WI USA on April 22, 2020, with an iPhone 6s.
