"While most people see their cortexes shrink as they age, older meditators had the same amount of gray matter as those half their age. Evidence shows that meditation decreases stress, depression, and anxiety, reduces pain and insomnia, and increases quality of life.

Humming birds

"A few days ago, my gardener and I found a hummingbird's nest on a fallen branch on the ground under some brush after a rainstorm. No mom, just two new-born chicks," writes Your Shot photographer J. Katz. "We went on-line and called the vet to find out what to do. After following her instruction, I stepped away and sat at a distance. After about one hour the mother returned. I have been observing them from a distance ever since. I finally captured her feeding one of them. So excited that they survived! I feel like a step-mom."
