The lilies are as beautiful as you imagine. Even the water's beautiful. Press Play. You'll see. Happy Sunday.

Big birthday today. The Golden Gate Bridge turns 75. If you're in town, take a birthday walk. If you're not, Press Play. Then imagine you are and take a walk anyway. And sing happy birthday.

They're hard to see when they first pop up. But once they pop, they grow up very, very fast. From an 8-inch spear to a four-foot stalk in two days. Spring's half-gone, summer's coming. Gotta pay attention, every day, to everything else that's growing up.

Actually very, very pink. So pink that, for a minute, there's no room for anything else. Very refreshing. There's a lot of this pink stuff going around right now. If I were you, I'd go out and find some today. Press Play for a minute of mine. Seeing is believing.

You could watch this for a while. It's a little like bird-watching, only better. You don't need binoculars. You don't feel like a stalker. If you don't have one of your own, go take a walk and find one. Or Press Play.

You can't help it. It smells so great you just have to get more. You're like one of those bees that just can't stay away from that pollen. You should take a walk to find some of this stuff. The deep breathing is so relaxing. Might even work without the wisteria.

A total break from everything you do. While you're watching, everything else just disappears from sight and mind. I'm really not a birdwatcher, but, Press Play and look at this. This Resplendant Quetzal.

Walls of flowers. Not beds of flowers. Not fields of flowers. Walls of flowers. You need a few seconds to accept that everything's growing out of the walls. Everything is at eye level. Press Play and stare for a minute. At this year's vertical Orchid Show at the New York Botanical Garden.

I'm swinging in the rainforest. 150' above the valley floor. On a very narrow suspension bridge. That swings. Surrounded by howler monkeys. They're howling. And swinging. By their tails. Press Play for a 2-minute walk on the wild side.

You get to the end of a long walk. A 6-mile beach. Soft sand. Soothing waves. It's enough. Really. You couldn't ask for more. Then you look up. And you get more. Dozens of brown pelicans in flight. Press Play for your more.
