FamilySearch's Full-Text Search is the greatest thing since commercial DNA testing. I'll die on this hill. #genealogy #familyhistory

Today would have been my mom's 86th birthday. Here are my sister, sister-in-law, and me with Mom in April 2014 just after she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. We had her for 2 more years. #cancersucks #pancreaticcancer #family #mom #mother

Golden eagle or immature bald eagle? Where are my #bird people? Spotted at Yellowstone a few years ago.

Large brown raptor sits on a tree branch with evergreens in the snow in the background. It has a hooked bill.

I always wonder who thinks color combos like this are a good look in hotels #travel #hotels #vacation #design #decor

Odd circle and square patterned medium and dark blue carpet with lines. Looking down a hotel hallway. The walls are golden yellow

Bird is definitely the word. Laundry. Laundry is also the word today. Doing a spring cleaning laundry. Everything goes in. #birds #naturephotography #wildlifephotography

Two days in a row I have found pennies on the ground. Mom's letting me know she's thinking of me as the anniversary of her death approaches. #penniesfromheaven #mom #love

Have some calm for your evening. Boy, howdy, could we use some as our country makes the complete slide into fascism #sunset #naturephotography #landscapephotography

I remember vividly the first time I discovered that "it's a dry heat" is a real thing and not a cliche. Looking forward to getting back to the high desert in a couple of weeks! #utah #mountainwest #itsadryheat #humidity

Did not have on my bingo card bird watching inside Lowe's garden area, but hey, why not?

One of my favorite books as a kid and one of the small number I kept when I went full-time nomad a a few years ago. Maybe this "new" bird hobby isn't so surprising after all.

Cover of a children's picture book called "Birds Everywhere." It shows a colorized drawing of bald eagle and chicks in a nest with a dead fish

Music videos from the 1960s and 1970s have been popping up in my Facebook feed and the more I click on them, the more it happens (yay, algorithms!). Took a nice break from doomscrolling tonight to listen. Can we post videos here? 🎶🎵🎶🎵 #music #70smusic #rock #ELP
