After a long day at work it is very zen to just sit and watch the bees go to town on this plant. Not sure what it is but the blooms last for maybe a week, then done, but very popular while they are out!

A couple years ago Jason was asked to give the grads of his high school a speech. His speech was one that took a different path- that the lessons of life could best be learned from our four legged friends. The lesson of the dog.

Great article by Gordon Hoekstra @vancouversun.bsky.social on the complicated issue of who pays when houses are too dangerous to live in due to landslides? Technically should be the municipality or the Regional district as they let them build there. Complicated! vancouversun.com/feature/bc-p...

Hard to believe they’re talking about the same event.

What a pisser! Small Ants are excavating their way into the mason bee larva. They eat the pollen and nectar food, and even the larva. No wonder I didn’t have many larva last year. Going to put this one inside and try to keep the ants away . Any suggestions? #masonbees

Bees are loving our raspberry patch! You can probably hear them over the dog woofing in the background. I think it will be a good crop this year

I refuse to believe that "IDF shoots at Canadian diplomats after confusing them with innocent Palestinians" isn't a fucking Beaverton headline

Absolutely beautiful evening here on Hornby Island. Unfortunately you don’t see or hear the sea lions that were out there. Coast mountains looked fantastic!!

Already + 100,000 m3 fallen from the Klein Nesthorn N face at ~3200 m asl, and something between 1 to 5 Millions m3 more are 'forecasted'... 😱 That's quite a thing! Blatten village evacuated 😭 The 'Crumblocene' is definitely a nice time to live! 🏔️🌊 www.20min.ch/fr/story/can...

#MSH45 | May 16, 1980 On May 1, Penn State's Barry Voight sends his delayed hazard report on Mount St. Helens' north face by mail. 15 days later, the report arrives in Vancouver. It will accurately depict what will come in under 48 hours. Yet, it's just one of many guesses.

Last night we said goodbye to Willow. Damn cancer! She was such a great dog! So gentle and friendly, a favourite of staff and students in Earth Sciences, SFU. She was even on TV a couple of times as she used to love rolling in the snow. This is a great video Nicole took of her when she was young.
