Outdoors, if you live in a place with natural beauty. Getting out every day and walking to my local rose garden (it was very close, I was lucky) during the pan did wonders for my keeping it together.
My city's premier is destroying a beautiful public green space to build a private mega spa and parking lot for himself and his cronies, so that's fun
I'm extremely upset seeing our ecosystems collapse. It's worse than almost anyone realizes. If you're middle-aged and think on it, you'll remember a very different world.
Having said that, I'm in the woods and waters all the time and usually see things that surprise me! Despite being a bit polluted, there were loads of baby fish at the boat ramp last weekend, even with all the boats coming and going.
Giant stick insect I've never seen before.
New pitcher plant I've never seen!
No idea how I've missed the local bamboo going to seed. Would have never guessed those balls were from bamboo.
These little fellers spark joy! Terrible photo, they look unreal IRL, like modded out racing grasshoppers
Baby snake, and again, a new one on me.
New spider. That camo and flat body freak me out! They could be on ANY tree!
I remember road trips when I was a child. The windshield would be covered with splattered bugs. That doesn't happen anymore.
Had many people say that's because of more aerodynamic vehicles. Bull. Shit. We used to see and incoming swarm and be like, "Aw crap, here we go."
Last weekend we traveled the back highways of Alabama all the way to Tupelo. ONE bug splatted. ONE.
