🐦One of the most crazy things that some of us, who live in the Pacific Northwest get to see every year - Migratory Snow geese that arrive by the thousands and stay in the Skagit Valley all winter. I think this time, I managed to capture a video that somewhat does a decent job of conveying the feeling one gets when they fly over you! Video by: mukul.soman

The snowshoe hare has many tricks that help it survive in the harsh conditions of the forest. Its curious name comes from its large hind feet, lined with stiff hairs, which form a snowshoe and support its weight on the snow. Photo by Loren Merrill

Papaya, Pembroke Welsh Corgi (4 y/o), Madison Square Park, New York, NY • “She’s quiet at home – she doesn’t bark. One time we tried to cook for her, she just pooped the whole time. It was terrible. She has more Instagram followers than me.”

Every weekend I think about the best diary entry ever.
I've fallen in love or imagine that I have; went to a party and lost my head. Bought a horse which I don't need at all.

The late Mary Tyler Moore was #BOTD in 1936! We celebrate her life & career as a performer, humanitarian & trailblazer. From redefining female TV leads to championing those with type 1 diabetes, her impact is undeniable. She received the SAG Life Achievement Award in 2011.

Every day is a good hare day. Snowshoe hares blend in with their snowy surroundings. This adaptation allows them to hide and escape from predators. Their annual coat change gives them excellent camouflage for every season. 📸 Loren Merrill (sharetheexperience)

Happy Anniversary, ESA! On this day in 1973, the Endangered Species Act was signed into law. This historic piece of legislation has proven to be effective in stabilizing species populations, preventing species extinction and conserving the habitats upon which they depend.

It's so cold, even the trees put on socks! If you’ve ever visited a geyser basin, you may have spotted the “bobby socks trees.” These dead lodgepole pines soak up silica-rich water, turning their lower trunks white—giving them the look of wearing white socks!

Sadness may knock at your heart's door many times a day, like an uninvited guest seeking entry to your most soft space. But don’t let it make you miss joy's gentle knock—those precious moments come less often, and you must embrace them when they arrive. Gurdeep.org
