Mr Ecuador. Look at how happy he is. This is a chap who is just *thrilled* to be there. Also look at how tiny his feet look peeping out of those giant fluffy trousers.

Rosie made quick work of my little paperback copy of "Under Milk Wood". All the literature that's fit to eat, as the NYT might say.

A paperback copy of Under Milk Wood totally chewed up by my shiba inu.

A sunny spot in my workroom, and Rosie the red shiba inu has found it. She faces us, with her squinty little eyes. Behind her, a wall of bookshelves and a white dappled vintage rocking horse.

Foliage on fire on my front fence. Actually just a Lensbaby shot of the Virginia Creeper on my iron fence in winter.

A Lensbaby capture of the remains of the Virginia Creeper on the black iron fence along my front walk, taken in winter. The Creeper looks like golden, white and black flames reaching up from the black metal fence.

Light shining through dew drops on a fennel blossom.

#EastCoastKin #Macro

A closeup of dew drops on a fennel blossom stalk. It is not in focus, so the drops appear as large, glowing, somewhat translucent dots ranging from gold to almost white. They vary in size. At the bottom of the image there is a blossom with dew that is a little bit more in focus, and it looks like a cluster of gold jewels.

A cool development at the very cool revitalized Don River.

Toronto’s effort to re-naturalize a major river and the surrounding lands nears completion, and the discoveries have underscored the resilience of ecosystems in the face of human-led destruction.

Trevor Heywood @metroscapes.ca · 2d

Some of you may remember when plants started springing back to life in the new Don River mouth, but this article dives deeper: discovery of a micro resurgence of life since those plants sprouted. American chestnut pollen, a seed from the 1500s, remains of peat bogs, worms, larvae and zooplankton.

Creatures buried in soil for over a century burst back to life in Toronto waterfront

A project to restore coastal wetland leads to astonishing discoveries of a host of life: seeds and plant scraps, as well as water fleas, worms, larvae and plankton
