    The other day, after a series of long, draining virtual meetings I decided I needed to go outside and get some nature. I sat on a bench outside of our office building with my camera, not expecting to see much or caring if I did, really. Suddenly, a mockingbird flew by, landing on a shrub just a few feet away. I typically think of mockingbirds as sly, somewhat shy birds that avoid getting too close, but this one seemed as interested as me as I was in it. She or he hopped on the shrub, leaning its head back and forth, inspecting me and my camera. In just a few minutes, I got lost watching this beautiful bird, and by the time it flew off I felt calm and recharged for my next Zoom meeting.
