🇨🇦 Librarian of a sort, just listening in for now. Getting around yyj on foot, taking pictures of small urban moments as I go. Music, trees, and good people make life worth living. Work in progress.

Photo of #lichen, #moss and some frosty little vascular #plants like lingonberry and crowberry. Kind of has an ”under water” feel to it. #newfoundland Canada.
Close up photo of some small plants, lichens and mosses taken on some of the barrenlands of Newfoundland, Canada. The plants are frosty. The moss is yellow. The lichen is a white, coral-looking species of Cladonia.

Enjoying the last full moon of the year. Hoping it shines brightly on you tonight. 🙏🏼✨
The full moon glowing in the sky. An almost full moon peering through a cloud, creating a rainbow glow.

Buy a book.

Any book, it doesn't matter which. The one you've been looking forward to, the one with the title that made you laugh, the weighty award-winner you've been meaning to get to. Whatever.

Treat yourself. Step away from it all. In this time of gross ignorance & madness, read something.

Missing beautiful Iceland today. Two years ago I was wandering there, amazed at the rugged beauty, standing with one foot in each continent. Now I am packing, embarking on a completely different adventure…

Thingvellir National Park. View of small white buildings in a vast and rugged autumn landscape, intersected by tributaries and small waterfalls. Mountains rise gently in the background.

Sun tonight.

Do you think maybe we cry because our ancestor-instincts are trying to calm us with a moment’s return to our saltwater home

A magpie is seen flying away from its perch on the back of a young mule deer buck, who is lazily relaxing on a suburban lawn.

Some glorious colour for a sleepy Southern Alberta Sunday. Amongst the suburban beige of my parents’ neighbourhood, these coleus are tiny, outrageous beacons.

Today is about trying to recreate structure in the day to help my mom get her bearings while in hospital, transitioning to long term care.

This difficult week has been a nice distraction from the rest of the chaos in the world. I know the 🍄🌺🇨🇦 will be waiting for me.

Shout out to Library and Archives Canada. A few months ago I requested information on my grandfather’s military record. I had little information to prompt the search, as my grandfather is long gone, and my mom has Alzheimer’s. Today I got 153 pg. file with photos, fingerprints. ❤️😭 Grateful 🇨🇦

Well hello. Just a stony smile from what used to be a Carnegie library, and is now the Victoria Indigenous Justice Centre. I moved here long after the library closed, but love seeing these little details. Glad to see it being used again, long overdue.

Wanna see something cool?

At the Grammy's in 1976, Ella Fitzgerald and Mel Torme explained what jazz is.

The result? The crowd losing its mind. 🔥
