"The boundaries between civilization and wilderness, are more illusory than we admit. We haven't fully tamed these spaces after all. They remain part of a larger, wilder world that occasionally sends its emissaries to remind us of our place in it…” #Boulder #Colorado hernature.org/p/a-golden-e...

This is what love looks like!

They stand in community. Sharing and protecting in the snow. Laughing in the rain. Dancing in the wind. Today, the sun warms their skin and reminds them to breathe… — The Enchanted Mesa Trail, #Boulder, #Colorado

Welcome precious friends! How brave and mighty you are. Thank you for being my reminder to flourish regardless! My first flower of spring!

I love my town so much <3 Boulder stands for scientists, researchers, and public servants

FWIW - the internal GSA lists I've obtained list NOAA's Boulder, Colorado facility as "core." I wrote up what *isn't* core here: www.cpr.org/2025/02/27/t...

Friends getting out + protesting with your brothers & sisters is good for the soul. Proud this was us today in #Boulder @noaa.gov Pls get out + be heard! @standupforscience.bsky.social @cprnews.bsky.social @bouldercolorado.bsky.social #federalworkersarecritical 🇺🇸🔬💪☮️

"Their collective wisdom spreads across the snow like a living meditation. No single elk stands alone; their very arrangement speaks of mutual protection, of knowing one's place in the larger whole.A wise counsel we could all use in these times of division and dismay." hernature.org/p/the-elks-m...

Stay strong dear friends… we have to keep trying 💕

"Our first false spring arrived and vanished in a matter of days. More will come - each a promise winter isn't quite ready to keep. But we remain patient, knowing spring strives to reach us, as we long for her return." #Colorado #NatureJournal hernature.substack.com/p/the-dance-of-false-spring

Cozy Monday mornings… #greyhound #rescuelife #soloved

“This has been a quieter week. One of those liminal spaces, suspended between winter and spring. My wild home is showing me her softer side, as she takes a moment to breathe, and manifest her devotion…” #naturewriting #colorado #seasons open.substack.com/pub/hernatur...

"Scenic Mesa" certainly lives up to its name. The Colorado West Land Trust says, thanks to the landowner, a 7,000-acre property in Delta County will be protected. "Rich in wildlife habitat, agriculture, and scenic open space... home to elk, bald eagles, and vital river habitat."

Yes, we can all do 'something'. It is always a million million small collective actions which turns a tide... www.theguardian.com/wellness/202...

It’s humbling to be in the presence of redwoods, like touching the beginning of time. I’m aware of my fragility in their company. They have lived before me and will go on when I no longer can. I stand not far from infinity… #naturewriting #redwoods #peace hernature.substack.com/p/whispers-o...

They lie and stand on their carpet of frozen ice. Watching, waiting, dreaming of their birth home. The time to leave again is getting closer. The days are longer, the nights are warmer. The call is stronger still. #Naturewriting #Boulder #MountMeeker #Geese #Migration

Why are Gen Zs deserting garden centres? Maybe they’re more into planting than shopping | Claire Ratinon

The echo of a once great redwood stands quietly still. An invisible trunk now wrapped in bright green fur. No longer towering to the sky.No longer swaying in the wind.No longer home to the squirrel and the owl, and yet still home.Hushed now.A different life,but still alive. #naturewriting #redwoods

The silent prayer of winter in a wild place where the redtail hawk watches, and the coyote waits, and the cottonwoods stand guard dreaming of warm winds, full bellies and spring rain... #naturewriting #nature #winter #cottonwoods #colorado

"Joy is also resistance, and we can find that in the creatures and plants where we stand. Let them beckon us back to wonder, and even in the midst of the chaos and craziness, never stop seeing the beauty in the world." #naturewriting #resist #naturejournal #winter open.substack.com/pub/hernatur...

Hey Friends… I’m writing a year long journal about the healing power of nature. A weekly log of a neighborhood, it’s plants, birds and creatures — and how they are helping repair a heart and rebirth a soul. Please follow along hernature.substack.com #naturewriting #healing #mentalhealth #nature

Footprints crunching as the snow glitters like fairy dust. The Bluesky beckons us to come out and play. But the horses are inside today. Too cold even for their thick rug coats. Instead we wait…. #winter #naturewriting

“This announcement is as sweet as honey. It’s a win for bees, butterflies and all pollinators, as well as every single person in this country, since our food supply is so dependent on them.” www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The healing Colorado sky at sunset washes clean the day… #nature #Boulder #MountMeeker #sunset

The ice appears impenetrable,like a vertical frozen lake meters thick. It’s a miracle that a millimeter point of my axe with a flick of my wrist creates enough purchase to hang my body weight.A metaphor for the fragility and impossible wonder of life and living hernature.substack.com/p/winter-hol...

The burden is heavy. Too much to bear the weight of bitter cold, bone chilling winds, and the fear of what’s to come. But the #bluespruce knows #thistooshallpass. #Winter is a time to prepare. #Spring will come again. Until then stand #rooted and #strong. #resist #nature #naturewriting

Beautiful ice cauliflowers bloom frosted with light snow, while in other places chandeliers of ice hang down like the most glorious and deadly curtains… #nature #naturewriting #Lakecity #Colorado #iceclimbing

There’s a softness to the winter today. The silent air breathes white clouds of song from my lips as snowflakes gently kiss my nose in greeting… #winter #naturewriting #snowflake #lakecity #colorado

The long and winding road to somewhere. A path not yet travelled with wishes and hopes held tight. The sun guides our way. The gleaming snow beckons us forward. They whisper… go higher… go farther… #naturewriting #colorado #mountain

The quietness of the land in winter. All sharing the sameness of waiting, resting, gathering strength for the awakening ahead. #winter #naturewriting #colorado #land

The bright and brilliant sun returned today. Its warmth brings a welcome gentleness, a reminder that no winter last forever… #naturewriting #winter #temporary #bluesky

He stares into the window willing me to come outside. I haven't been out to refill the feeder. It's not for him, but it's always for him. He's worried. Arctic air is on the way, and maybe deadly for a tiny creature like him. Hold on, I'm coming! #wildlife #naturewriting #squirrel #survival

The first new moon of 2025 sets over #MountMeeker and #LongsPeak this morning in #Boulder. The #wolfmoon was named so by European settlers who heard wolves howling during their winter hunts. #awoo

Victories must be acknowledged … so celebrate, laugh and dance a little. There’s a long way to go.

@mitchellbyars.bsky.social hey Mitchell… there’s a bunch of smoke over to the south east of Boulder… hoping all’s ok over there. 🙏

Yes Christmas has indeed come early this year. We all desperately need a distraction from the dystopia.. and yes fairy lights and glitter balls, and elves are helping! 🎄🎅🎁

OMG… I thought this was a bear in their truck bed!! 🫣🐻😂 Colorado baby!! 🏔️

So far on Bluesky I haven’t seen a hater, an image that was offensive, a video that made me sick to my stomach. Please let’s keep this going. It’s upon all of us to do our part. 🙏

This quote from my book “Our Unfinished March” seems particularly relevant today.

Savoring the small joys…
