Starting the morning with a soft song from Porridge Radio that has been my ear worm for a few days. Time to ready the heart for the day.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

A monochrome photo depicting the view as a passenger on BC Ferries vessel Queen of Alberni, spanning Tsawwassen to Duke Point, a critical route for connections to Vancouver Island, Victoria, and Nanaimo. The image shows the fore seating, nearest to the fore windows. The window views are obscured with an excess of light and fog. The light from the windows contrasts sharply with the dark comfortable textures of the seating. Four passengers are seated, positioned spread apart, with only their heads visible from the tops of the seats. The foreground is dominated by the featureless seatbacks. It is a typical view of what you might see as a passenger, and a view that serves well for observant, public, candid, street photography. Shot on the Ricoh GRIII camera.

David Lynch passed a year ago today. I hope we all can absorb just a little bit of the energy he put out in his lifetime.
David Lynch sitting in a naturally lit room and wearing sunglasses: “I’m wearing dark glasses today, because I’m seeing the future and the future is looking very bright.”

As Scalzi celebrates a novel that he wrote decades ago on his personal profile, I am picking up Old Man's War for the first time. Sometimes, rarely, the internet shows a glimpse of its former glory. Check out this cover art.

After burning myself out on many many low grade movies, I have been turning to audiobooks for more depth. I finished the Annihilation audiobook. Carolyn McCormick was incredible. VanderMeer wrote a great mind bending novel that is definitely not for everyone. Surprising and nourishing!

It was a great gift to share Dag Aabye’s life with the world. Popplewell’s balance of journalistic interest and individual dignity was fair and masterful. Great read for inspiration. #booksky

Reading about Edgar Mitchell, who claimed to have psychically contacted friends on Earth while he was in space. Wild! Pretty sure this inspired an X Files episode.

Thinking on love during dark times. Kahlil Gibran. #poetrysky
Text as follows: But if in your fear you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure, Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor, Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears. Art by Kahlil Gibran. A nude male and female interlocked on a dark background.

Oh this hurt. By the brilliant Tess Gallagher.
I STOP WRITING THE POEM to fold the clothes. No matter who lives or who dies, I'm still a woman. I'll always have plenty to do. I bring the arms of his shirt together. Nothing can stop our tenderness. I'll get back to the poem. I'll get back to being a woman. But for now there's a shirt, a giant shirt in my hands, and somewhere a small girl standing next to her mother watching to see how it's done.

Another sunset, another day of shooting complete. 13 km walk!
A sunset falling on a softly winding gravel path of DeBoville Slough. Wild grasses thrive on both sides of the trail. A large tree overwhelms the foreground, off to the side. The sunset is overwhelmingly orange and bright, casting orange on the entire scene. Thick bushy trees can be seen far in the distance.

This was my first time witnessing ‘the moment’ and it took my breath away. #birding #birds #wildlife #nature #photography
A male osprey, with wings outstretched, drops off a fish for its female mate. The female is nesting on top of a discarded wood piling in Pitt River.

The male goose couldn’t fit on the wood piling with his mate so he stood on shore, hissing at people. #wildlife #birding #birds #nature #photography
A nesting female Canadian Goose, likely protecting eggs. She is tucked into a recessed hole on the top of an old wooden piling left behind in Pitt River. It is sunset and the orange light is putting her to sleep. An alert male Canadian Goose at the edge of a ravine.

He poked out, ran away, then came back in view. The glory of internet fame persists. Nikon P1100. #wildlife #snek #nature #photography
A surprisingly large garter snake emerging from a thick tussock. It alternates in black and yellow colours with dots of rich orange accents. It easily navigates the dried grass leaves, as evidenced by its healthy constitution.

Spring baby ducks—what else do you want from me? Nikon P1100. #wildlife #birding #nature #birds #photography
A baby bufflehead duck in Minnekhada Lower Marsh. It is causing small ripples in the greenish marsh water. It is looking at the camera with a sly charisma.

Turtle butts. Nikon P1100. #iliketurtles #nature #wildlife #photography
Two turtles on a log basking in the sun. They are facing away so only their backsides are visible. One turtle is lifting his head up, as if to look behind him. The water is a hearty and mucky green-ish brown.

That is the duckest looking duck I have ever seen. Nikon P1100. #nature #photography #wildlife #birding
A wood duck standing in the mucky shoreline of Minnekhada Lower Marsh. It has a very rich dark green head with an orange beak, a berry jam-coloured neck and breast, and highly contrasting white, beige, and black colours on its back. The foreground is reflective mirror-like marsh water. The background is long green grasses with some older beige foliage buried underneath.

It didn’t move a muscle. Lots of blue herons around here but I never get tired of seeing one. Nikon P1100. #wildlife #photography #birding #nature
A great blue heron standing still in the marshy waters of Minnekhada Lower Marsh with sickly twigs rising up out of the water near its feet. The waters are a murky green with small clusters of surface dwelling vegetation. There is lush green grass and faded beige foliage in the far background. It is sunny and warm.

I had an incredible chance to see this osprey. First time finding one in my hood. Nikon P1100. #birding #nature #photography #sooc
An osprey nesting atop the remnants of a piling. The bird watches the water with vigilance. Branches can be seen forming its nest.
