Welcome to Create
In these days of uncertainty and restrictions of movement, we'd like to ask you, what would you do, if you could'?
Taking the song 'El Condor Pasa' as inspiration, tell us about your longings. Would you rather 'sail away, like a swan that here's and gone'? Where would you like to be? What would you be doing if you could?

The Post
Spring has well and truly broken out, friends, even in western Pennsylvania. The bunnies are hopping, the seedlings growing mysteriously, the birds crowding the bird feeder, the hummingbirds humming…we love it! Take a virtual boat ride through the Everglades with Phred Firecloud. Join Willem for a time travel trip to visit a Cladosictis. Admire photographic glimpses of sky, water, gardens. Look at a tapir in a new way. Enjoy some nature-related videos.
