here. Hope you're having an awesome day. Just out taking a quick walk and my dang phone won't let me hold it portrait-wise. I don't know why. I think it's a YouTube thing. Anyway, I hope you're having a great, great day. I'm just out here getting my, uh, daily fresh air and it's nice crisp kind of a night out here. So, um, just join me for a minute or two as I take a walk. And also join me later as I livestream and I do some sketching. We'll talk creativity, we'll talk positivity, we'll talk whatever else comes our way within the realm of positivity and creativity. Um, yeah, I don't know what I'll be sketching, but definitely something NYC-inspired, New York City-inspired, so that'll be a lot of fun. Um, so I just filmed a, um, hike and mic with, uh, Forefront and Relevant. Um, you know, during these times where AI and tech is like an all-time high and just keeps going and going to go, um, that's one of the reasons I love being outside and walking, just to connect with the outdoors and nature. Nature. It's a good way to stay in touch with your soul, right? All right, so just taking a quick walk here. It's nice and peaceful and quiet out, and walking is a great way for me just to, uh, kind of disconnect from this, from the school day and get some fresh air and exercise. There's something in the woods. What the heck is it, Levy? My dog's with me. It's nothing creepy. There's nothing creepy out here. But I hope you guys are having a great day. So yeah, be sure to watch me later, probably around 9 o'clock PM Eastern time, and we'll do some sketching and stuff together. Hey, JLM says, perfect timing, taking a break and continuing education. Yeah, that's— I know, I know all about the continuing education world, um, being a teacher and also an architect. I gotta maintain certain credits and stuff, so I hope whatever you're doing is fun. Whatever you're studying is something you enjoy. And, uh, thanks for hanging with me for a minute as I take a quick walk. There's my pup. So I went live, and usually I can live in vertical, do live streams in vertical format on YouTube, and it wouldn't let me do it. So I am horizontal today. I'm in landscape mode. I really like— I kind of like this little view here. It's, it's nice to see the trees starting to bud, color starting to happen here. We need a change, you know. Uh, winter is grays, blacks, whites, very cool colors, and now we got some popping out vibrant colors and there's It really can change your effect, your state of being, the colors around you in your world. Sometimes we take it for granted. That was just a spin move. My dog wrapped around me. So anyway, just hang with me for a few. I'll just walk and show you what I'm looking at. I don't have a gimbal, so my camera image is a little shaky. Sorry about that. I also can't see if anybody's chatting. I happen to see JLM pop up on there. If you're watching, hello, thank you for watching. Again, I hope you guys, uh, hope you guys can join me later for some sketching livestream fun, 9 o'clock, around 9 o'clock PM Eastern Time. I love the reflection. So look at the reflection in the distance of those trees in the water, right? It, it's just gorgeous. When I'm out walking in nature, I'm always looking at textures and patterns, shapes, shadows, reflections. Um, those are the things that kind of inspire my visual, visual world as I'm out and about in the great outdoors. Cool. Take care, we'll see you later. Have a great day. Quieter than usual. I'm just letting nature do talking right now. All right guys, I'm gonna wrap here. Thanks for hanging out with me just for a few minutes, and I hope to see you later on my sketching livestream, 9 o'clock PM Eastern time. We'll say ish 9 o'clock PM-ish.
