Last set of icy falls pics from Neebing for this month. I’ll miss the daily shifts and changes. For the balance of winter this account will be fish, birds, frozen lakes … and possibly book publishing?

I cannot get tired of looking closely at frozen falls.

Over the last decade my father and I grew a few batches of odd plants from seed. This is probably Lachenalia orchioides, probably var glaucinia, from South Africa’s Table Mountain. I can’t find the Indigenous name online, and the anglo “wild hyacinth” doesn’t suit it.

Ice formed by freezing foam on the Pine River, Neebing, Ontario. Also, hello to all the followers I somehow accumulated while dawdling on giving this platform a proper go!

Presenting Canadian books to parliamentarians tonight!

One day Ottawa will bless me with a room with a view. This is not that day.
