ā¦hereās another 3 minutes from a different part of the islandābeautiful Aquinnah. 2/2 #OceanDevotion
Long day, late to post this #OceanDevotion, but here are your 3 minutes of peace & calm. Yes, thereās a 10-min version, but I wonāt get it onto YouTube until tomorrow. Butā¦ 1/2
You asked for it. Now it's here: the #OceanDevotion YouTube channel is live! Starting with 10 min of yesterday's sunrise. youtu.be/nTitezOioJ4?... I'll aim for that each day, plus I'll be adding some of my favorite sunrises over the years, videos from my Antarctic expeditions, and more.
Nope! Farther westā¦
Good morningā¦ from an island. Here are your 3 minutes of peace & calm. #OceanDevotion
Fast ferry
Hi! A different kind of #OceanDevotion this afternoon as I head off on a (working) vacay. Iāll be doing these from a different location this week. š
Iām sorry. Thatās too much. Hope better times come your way fast.

Good morning! Here are your 3 minutesābut due to many requests, Iām going to start posting long versions on YouTube. Stay tuned! #OceanDevotion
Good morning! Here are your 3 minutes of peace & calm. #OceanDevotion
Eek. Iāve always wanted to go there! One dayā¦
Waitā¦ where?!
Great observation! (And you win my First Mario of the Week award! š)
Iām glad you enjoy it!
Good morning! Here are your 3 minutes of peace & calm. #OceanDevotion
Of course
Me too, but I rarely swim here. Too many seals. Too many sharks.
And this is right now. Magnificent! #OceanDevotion
Nice!
Practice? Iāve been doing this most days for years. š
āŗļø
Good morning! Here are your 3 minutes of peace and calm. #OceanDevotion
Yes, I saw! Crazy!
It looks it but I tell you those breakers were fierce when I was sitting at the beach just north of here today. People were getting knocked over on the shoreline.
A quick evening #OceanDevotion as I passed.
Keep in mind that these beautiful illustrations were designed and created by @megsodano.bsky.social āŗļøāŗļø
I was so thrilled to be the art director and book designer of this beautifully written, gorgeously illustrated book. Check it out! And preorder your copy.
Not really small beaches. Theyāre bluffs, not dunes here, and they range up to roughly 50 meters? My husband is the parkās geologist and mapper, so Iāll confirm that. š
Yeah, they have closed the beaches. š
Thanks! Iām really grateful to live here!
Where is that?
Thanks! Great pic. You too!
Itās in Wellfleet, Massachusetts, USA.
Good morning! Erin is still churning it up. Here are your 3 minutes of peace & calm. #OceanDevotion
At high tide it would have been pretty much. All the beaches are closed along this outer coast.
About 45 minutes after high tide. Hurricane Erin is still ripping it up! Magnificent!š #OceanDevotion
And the view from the cliffs.
Good morning! First of 2 videos. Hereās how Hurricane Erin looks this morning. This is right at low tide, so Iāll be curious to come back in around 6 hours! Here are your 3 minutes of peace, calm, and surf. #OceanDevotion
Hurricane Erin from Outer Cape Cod around 7:30 pm, August 21. #OceanDevotion
Good morning! Hurricane Erin from Outer Cape Cod this morning. A local interrupted for a quick chatābut you get what you get and you donāt get upset. š #OceanDevotion
Last summerās Northern Hemisphere heatwaves had catastrophic consequences on the Arcticās Svalbard islands, where ice melt was off the charts and contributed significantly to sea level rise.
Itās Wellfleet, yes!
Here on Outer Cape Cod, too!
Look at the size of this storm!
Hurricane Erin is still very far from Outer Cape Cod, but the seas are already feeling it. I took these about 1.5 hours after low tide. #OceanDevotion
Thatās so great! Make sure to have one for me! š„
Outer Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA
Just gave ya a follow. āŗļø
Yes! Hi, neighbor!
Thatās a shame, but so great to hear itās been a good season!
Oh no. Where are you?
No, Outer Cape Cod š
Have a nice day. Hope it gets better.
Just about every day someone asks and I tell them. Often several times a day. But I actually feel sorry for people like this because they are so unhappy they try to reduce their unhappiness by attempting to unload it on someone else. They just feel worse in the end.
No, I respond. I tell everyone who asks where it is. You approached with snark and sarcasm and thatās a fast track to being blocked.
I have been posting these for many years. Most people just enjoy them in the spirit in which I share them. Feel free to scroll on by.
Good morning! Surprisingly calm ocean this morning, despite Hurricane Erin. Here are your 3 minutes of peace & calm. #OceanDevotion
Bees need zeeezzzzzzz
I think so!
Thank you! And congratulations to youāyouāre my second āMarioā of the week! š
Good morning! Another stunner today. Rough surf expected today and the next few days as Hurricane Erin makes its way up. Here are your 3 minutes of peace & calm. #OceanDevotion
Youāre welcome. And you also get the award for my first Mario of the week! š¤£
Thatās a good question. I donāt think itās from Erin yet, but Iām looking forward to making some fun wild videos later this week!
Good morning! Itās a wild one! š Here are your 3 minutes of peace, calm, and vibrancy. #OceanDevotion
Thereās an elderly lady boogie boarding. Sheās been out there in that 60Ā°F water since I arrived at the beach 2.5 hours ago. (And since the moment the tide was low enough for it to be shark safe.) Hope thatās me one day.

Youāre very welcome

Ugh
Fancy! I will be there later this week actually!
Planes on their way to Europe I guess. I know I have flown over here in way from NYC or DC to Europe a couple of times.
Good morning! Here are your 3 minutes of peace & calm. #OceanDevotion
No failure here! šStillā¦ maybe I should make that YouTube channel. Who I am to deny the people what they need!
And if Bluesky allowed that, I would give them to you. šPerhaps I should start a YouTube channelā¦

Out for an evening bike ride, so a quick #OceanDevotion for you from my secret cliff-top spot.

I just signed off on final art for one of THE MOST GORGEOUSLY illustrated picture books Iāve ever had the privilege to art direct. (In truth, I did very little but ooo and ahh at every stage.) Canāt wait to share it when itās published! ššš
Youāre most welcome!
Good morning! Hereās are your 3 minutes of peace and calm. Iām looking forward to painting this one tonight! #OceanDevotion
Thank you!
Ok, another quick watercolor sketch this evening of this morningās #OceanDevotion.
