I am honored to share that I was awarded #first place in the #Hackensack Art Club's exhibition, "Seeds of Hope: Planting Creativity, Growing Community." It was a terrific show featuring many talented #artists, and I want to congratulate everyone for their hard work and support.
The bird and nature walk organized by the Bergen County Audubon Society (BCAS) at Mill Creek Marsh in Secaucus, NJ yesterday provided a refreshing late winter outing.

#Bird Nerd Alert! While watching the #Artemis II wet dress rehearsal (WDR), I noticed some cool #birds flying by. I spotted vultures, white ibises, and a few gulls.
Itβs wild how #birdwatching adds a little extra excitement to the SLS rocket prep.
