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

There was a good Twitter thread with walking tour video channels on Youtube: twitter.com/spavis/status/1239212907579297793

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.

Thank you. Shut and play is a Canadian I believe.

Justin is the one I looked at before. If I manage it, I will try my hand at posting a video.

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

Highly recommend!

Not Scott Joplin's theme from The Sting then. They missed a trick there.
