The Americans need to report their IQ like they report their weather. It says 67 but feels like 5.

Since bumblebees and dragonflies are already taken, what about damselflies, like this Boreal Bluet?

Before dawn, Lord,
the women went to your tomb:
fearful, despondent; all was over.
They returned with joy and hope,
with exhilaration
at your new life bursting forth,
and excitement
in the new dawn of your kingdom.
May our lives be transformed
by your resurrection.

Keep our hearts and minds,
our focus and faith,
fixed on you, Lord;
upon your call
and your kingdom.
Let us be not distracted,
diverted or derailed
by the lures of selfish gain,
but nourished and nurtured
by your gift of yourself,
ready to share your love with all.

The clouds retreated just in time for some moon shots before bed. I love the changes in the trees now that spring is here

Fill us, Lord Jesus,
with your Spirit
and with your wisdom,
that we may discern today
your presence among us
and welcome you with joy.
Keep our focus on your agenda
and on your kingdom
rather than our selfish desires,
that we may follow
where you lead,
to new life.

Getting checked out by a male house finch. They built a nest outside the kitchen window and get upset every time the door opens. 🌿🦉

And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings…’

Hakuna Matata?

Camera traps are a relatively non-invasive observation method, but that doesn't mean they go unnoticed. Some inhabitants of Murchison Falls National Park, where we are carrying out multiple species monitoring, are VERY observant.

They soon realise there's nothing to worry about. 🌍🦇🧪

Our snaky friends are out and about these days, so I wanted to share this juvenile Northern Pacific Rattlesnake that my fellow hiker spotted on Friday, at Bouverie Preserve. S/he blended in so well that it took me a while to see! 💚
