Did you know that ODDER was inspired by a real-life conservation success story from @montereybayaquarium.org?

By the early 1900s, central CA's population of southern sea otters was down to 50. Today, there are close to 3,000.

Conservation measures work. 💙🦦 @mackidsbooks.bsky.social #mglit

My books, The Magic Fish and Angelica the Bear Prince, are set up on a marble countertop under a sign that my mother made and printed with clip art! It says, “Need a Gift Idea? Perfect for any occasion.”

A view up into a ring of trees, tall and green against the bright blue sky. The sun shines through the leaves.

It looks like all the osprey have left for the winter. Here's one of my favorite captures from this summer.

A photo of an osprey in flight, headed straight for the camera with its talons extended down. Scary stuff if you're a fish!

I've been waiting all year to repost this 🎃

A pumpkin patch in a variety of shapes and colours, some with carved faces with different expressions. Between the pumpkins are black and white cats, crows, frogs, bushes, twigs and mushrooms.

Jane Goodall made the world a better place.

She helped shape how we view the world around us, fought vehemently for the environment, and her love of chimpanzees was infectious. She will be greatly missed.
