I've been told by neighbours that she's back! She spent the previous winter here, often around my house. The community is a collection of 3-5 acre lots, 60-90% of each kept as forest, so finding her on purpose with a camera is easier said than done👀🌲🦉

I walked around the lake and snapped a shot from far away this morning. My White pines look so healthy and full compared to that summer drought months ago🌲
Most of the snow melted in a day of rain yesterday, but we've dropped right back down to -10c now 🤷♂️

In the 1930s, the U.S. tried to bully the world. Here’s the story of how Canada resisted… by simply being boring. #cdnpoli #tariffs

Sugar Maple and American Beech forest glowing yellow orange in autumn
Occasionally these 2 will do this in the northeast if left alone long enough. They'll rise up 100+ft and form a climax mesic closed canopy forest where only THEY can thrive #ArtAdventCalendar #Canada #Trees

Has anyone started this?
It's pretty new... It began airing in England + Ireland on December 14th. Filmed all over Ireland (Dublin, Causeway Coast, Wicklow etc)
Kind of a return to serious acting for Alicia Silverstone
The series was just added to CRAVE for streaming in Canada👀

A few captures of the mighty Bur Oak in early spring🌳
They're occasionally seen wild in forests, but more often in open meadows, farms, and parks
They're a little too big for modern suburbs, but you see them in older ones reaching 60ft in all directions over the entire property #ArtAdventCalendar

The revival of the Klamath River & its watershed over the past 14 months—after the completion of the biggest dam-removal project in US history—is one the most hopeful stories I know in our hope-stripped age.

I always think of that Norman Maclean quote when I look at this
"And there could be no better place to learn than the Montana of my youth. It was a world with dew still on it, more touched by wonder and possibility than any I have since known"

The woodland around my house isn't old enough yet to have those giant displays of Trilliums you see on hikes, but every year there's a good handful more! In addition to the normal rhizome root spread, this flower has seeds designed to attract ants, who move them to new ground #ArtAdventCalendar

An old pump organ in an abandoned home—it still worked! (imagine an accordion and pipe organ had a baby for sound)
The motion blurred photo was an accident, but I kind of like it... It feels like an artist interpretation on canvas #ArtAdventCalendar

The Grackles migrate north for the spring and retire the giant flock behaviour they're known for in the south. They intelligently adapt to wetland/forest life by foraging under leaves on the forest floor, later raiding nests of other birds, then fishing like shorebirds by summer! #ArtAdventCalendar

A lot of 2025 circled around the theme of oak trees. I watched a red oak I transplanted from the forest to full sun in 2024, thrive its first year. I went on to plant over 50 more oaks from seed throughout the community. A mix of Quercus rubra, Quercus macrocarpa, & Quercus alba
