Hey everybody, I live in Canada’s boreal forest region. I post images here of my explorations on the lakes and in the boreal forest. I post both current pictures and stuff from the archives. Fan of philosophy. No politics here. Gerry

I’d like my profile here to be one where people can escape from their troubles. I think the images of nature I post is a good way to do that. I hope you enjoy them and please follow me if you like this kind of content. Thanks.

Haha, yes. This is the mother cat. She doesn’t put up with any nonsense from Jasmine. He barked at her twice. She hissed at him and he ran away.

It a very large lake (surface area of 1 million acres) and it has 14,522 islands on it. It’s located on the Minnesota/Ontario border- the southern basin is in MN.

Actually, looking at this picture, I think those might be turkey vultures and not eagles.

Twin eagles (a nesting pair) survey their domain at Lake of the Woods.

Hi Annette, yes, everyone is saying the same thing. They think it’s an Evening Primrose too.

Borealman @borealman63.bsky.social · 3d

Haha, maybe. I’ll ask my wife if she wants some.

Borealman @borealman63.bsky.social · 3d

Interesting. It grows very close to the ground.

Borealman @borealman63.bsky.social · 3d

Thank you!

Yeah, these ones never grow that long. It’s Sandy soil though so maybe that’s why.

Crazy thunderstorm right now. Non- stop lightning!

There are lots of these in a flat sand/grass area where I walk my dogs.

Borealman @borealman63.bsky.social · 3d

Yes, that’s it I’m pretty sure

Borealman @borealman63.bsky.social · 3d

Yes, I’m pretty far north so that’s probably it

Borealman @borealman63.bsky.social · 3d

I think it’s the common evening Primrose thanks to Lisa.

Borealman @borealman63.bsky.social · 3d

Hi Lisa, thanks! I definitely think you’re right. I checked it on ChatGPT and I uploaded the image and it identified it as the common evening primrose.

These little yellow wildflowers bloom late in the season each year. We had a rain and this thing just popped out of the plant. Does anyone know what kind of flower this is?

Ain’t that the truth!

Very interesting! It has since got completely sunny, not a cloud in the sky. We had a heavy rain yesterday, though, a couple of inches for sure.
