For my own organization, my hounds' 3 runs on 4.19.25 (really the last third of the runs; as best I can manage after slipping them, without missing anything). This is their morning run.

I have a $300 Anova immersion circulator that (like most of the Nice Things I possess) was given to me by a friend, and while I do use it to pull off a very fancy meal occasionally (see: Wolfenoot steak), I use it somewhat more often to thaw rodents for my pythons

The encounter that took what was already a great #BearSeason2025 right over the top. Arctic foxes are not the easiest to find around Churchill so getting to spend time with this cutie who is still changing into their winter coat was amazing. #mammals 🌿

Day 1 of the #ArtAdventCalendar.
I can't believe it's another year. I don't share this one often, but I'm rather proud of this diorama of the effect badgers have on the grasslands and other wildlife. - digital painting.
