So glad I was able to get a bike ride in this afternoon and a run this morning. Lucky to have good access to #greenspace and segregated routes for physical activity. #getoutside #diversifyoutdoors

First #run of the year in shorts- yes, this habit, plus walking and cycling is going to mean hilarious tan lines. #getoutside #diversifyoutdoors

Very glad I went for a #walk in the Quantocks today. Plenty of autumn colours and fungi. #getoutside #diversifyoutdoors

New week, grateful to start it with a run just after sunrise. #getoutside #diversifyoutdoors

We attended Refuge Outdoor Festival last weekend, leading an evening Crepuscular Creep, a Saturday morning Bird Stroll, and Sunday morning birding led by volunteers Ian & Gina, and joined the Partner Market.

Back in the day, we'd use the vernacular, "the hawk is out," to mean a cold, biting wind, which makes this image doubly true.

A white bird called a Sandhill Crane with a long neck, long black bill, red patch atop its head and yellow eye is shown in front of a blurred, reddish brown background.

Northern Hawk Owls are rarely seen as far south as even lower British Columbia. It's gone now, but one was in the Vancouver area for a few months, and I got a few glimpses.
