Keeping nature wild isn’t just about picking up trash, it’s also about leaving as minimal of an impact as possible when we visit these places — that includes leaving your 🖌🖍🖊 at home. The purpose of spending time outside isn’t to own it, claim it, mark it, or exploit it... it’s about appreciating its beauty, protecting it, loving it, and advocating for its growth. When you spend time outside do take pictures, do soak in the majesty, do share your experiences but do it in a way that allows generations to experience its purity, too. 📍on Patwin land #keepnaturewild #wildkeepers #impactday
Did you know that November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month? Most of you know that senior animals have a special spot in my heart. I have been so lucky to be the fur mom and foster mom to 6 senior kitties - the most recent being Fella. Fella was left behind when his mom went into hospice care. He was discovered by a neighbor hiding in a closet, matted, alone, and a bag of bones - it had been days since he’d eaten. She pleaded asking someone to take him in as a family member was going to “put him out to pasture” - LITERALLY let him go outside to fend for himself. Did I also mention he was 18 at the time and DECLAWED? I couldn’t let that happen so I immediately got in my car and picked him up. I called @mjmccy while on my way there and told him what I was doing and he supported me 1,000% no questions asked - one of the many reasons why I married him. That was almost 2 YEARS ago - that’s right, Fella is still enjoying the good life at almost 20 years old! While he isn’t as spry and quick moving as he probably was in his younger years, the love and appreciation that radiates from his bright blue eyes makes the choice to save a senior so worth it. Adopting, fostering, sponsoring, or volunteering is LIFE-CHANGING for animals waiting for their fur-ever homes. I hope the next time you’re inspired and able, you consider helping a senior pet. 🐾 ❤️
Right now @mjmccy is in New York gearing up for tomorrow’s @nycmarathon. He is running for @teamforkids thanks to @xqamerica. Marathon training is NOT easy and is incredibly time consuming. Tack on a 2 hour commute EACH WAY during the work week + long work days + traveling + volunteering on weekends + socializing feral kittens + making time for friends and family... it is amazing how much Marty does on a regular basis. He could have dropped so many other commitments and responsibilities after signing up but he didn’t. I wish I could run with him (and maybe one day with a new knee I can!) but this public declaration of admiration will have to do. I am so proud of you Marty and all that you do for me, the animals, your family, friends, coworkers... you are a superhero 🦸‍♂️
Had the best helper today picking up trash along our walking trail. 🗑 It may seem nasty to pick up someone else’s trash when you’re out and about but someone else’s bad behavior shouldn’t stop you from doing some good! 👍 Today is @keepnaturewild #ImpactDay where us #wildkeepers show how easy it is to incorporate this best practice into your outdoor routine! 🌲 Start with a small goal such as pick up 5 pieces of trash while I’m out walking my dog today (put the trash in a poop bag to reduce using another bag) and then build on that! 🐕 Of course don’t pick up anything that can be harmful to you such as metal, broken glass, toxic chemicals, or medical supplies unless you have the proper gear to pick it up safely and dispose of it. ❌ Once you start it’ll become addicting to do — I equate it to catching Pokémon 🤷🏻‍♀️
At first I considered not putting this photo up without cropping it because I’ve always been self conscious about my legs. But then I remembered how proud I am of them and how hard they worked this weekend and they deserve love and appreciation as much as any other part or feature on my body. So thank you legs for carrying me up mountains, across streams and through patches of snow. You’re the real MVP of this weekend. 🦵 ❤️
We decided to take the kayaks out for an adventure this glorious Sunday and it turned into a marshland cleanup! 🗑 @mjmccy grabbed the styrofoam cooler from the waters and as we walked back to our car we picked up trash along the way. By the end of our trek we had a completely full cooler which included: a shotgun shell, now 6 CD, shoelaces, beer bottles, cigarettes, straws and plastic bags. If you see trash: PLEASE try to pick it up. While you may not be “yours” this 🌎 is yours to nourish, honor and protect ❤️ . . . . . . . . . #keepnaturewild #wildkeepers #optoutside #naturelovers #outdoorenthusiast #leavenotrace #california #kayaking #wateradventures #begreen #ecofriendlyliving
