Sometime ago I discovered the fascination of web cams. It's occurred to me that these might provide entertainment or distraction for someone who's restless or has dementia, all the while staying inside, safe and warm.
This URL provides links to various sea/ocean and subsurface activity. I've been watching beluga whales for a while, admiring their grace, and their cute smiles.

Watching the bears fish for salmon along the river at different points and just ambling about doing their thing was fascinating. It was also a great distraction from a lot of bad news.
Our calendar is marked to look at the cams again in late June when the cameras should be on again and the bears will be out of hibernation!
