Live cams

The "Ted" and "Pond" cams are most active at the moment. Ted is waking up from hibernation so might be awake a bit more.

The first video they show is a nice and peaceful walk around a neighbourhood in Japan:

I think I may try to learn Blackbird on acoustic guitar. I have looked at it before but I couldn't get the picking pattern (only using thumb and index finger) worked out. That should take care of a week or two of practice.

Juicy Jasmine and friends are doing a live webcam where for a small donation, they take requests, apparently.

If this sort of thing happened 20 years ago, it would have been more difficult to pass time.

The jelly fish cam on Monterey Bay Aquarium page is very relaxing especially with the chill music attached to it
Highly recommend!
