"Don't fear the changes in life. Embrace them!" Change can be a challenge, but it can also help one to grow and thrive. When faced with changes that seem frightening, think about the beauty of the fall colors. They may not last long, but memories of them can last, especially if you take photos of scenes that are beautiful for you. Don't worry about whether others will like them because if you like them that is what is most important. Save your fall photos as wallpaper for your devices and look at them after the colors are gone and branches are bare.  “Nothing endures but change.” - Heraclitus

On Earth Day, April 22, 2023, I am thinking about and thankful for the world that provides so many outdoor opportunities to be active. It also makes me think about the things I do, should do, and don't do for the world I live in. For more information, check out Earth Day: The Official Site. Activities for adults and children can be found on this Parade page.  This butterfly was photographed on July 22, 2019 with an iPhone 6s at Ledge View Nature Center, Chilton, WI USA.
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.
