That was a nice storm that rolled through #yeg last night. #storm #abwx #lightning

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

Phalaropes in a pond near Bittern Lake, Alberta yesterday. (May 16, 2026). The most I have seen on at one time. #birds #nature

Farthest north I have seen pronghorns. Saw about 8 of them just south of Bruce. #nature #wildlife #pronghorn

And here is the cover for 'Abandoned Alberta III'. Photographed during the amazing solar storm on May 11th, 2024. Arriving in stores and online late June / early July. #abandoned #alberta #book #newrelease

A little tease of the cover for ‘Abandoned Alberta III’. Arriving in bookstore and online in late June or early July. In addition, reprints of ‘Abandoned Alberta I and II’ reprints will arrive at the same time. #abandoned #alberta #books #newrelease

I really like this infographic from CAEP. Really nails the essence of the problems, and ways forward.

Another magical morning with nature. Red-winged blackbird singing his song. Cold enough to see his breath with the backlit sunrise. #yeg #nature #birds #canon

Here is the Kirkpatrick grain Elevator. Built in 1924. It was closed in the 1980s and is now privately owned by Andrew Farms. Its sits in its original location beside the abandoned rail line that passes through the area. #alberta #history #explore #abandoned #rural #canonA

Another photo from yesterday morning .. Temperatures were just right to catch the breath of the red-winged blackbird as it sung at sunrise. #nature #birds #canon #yeg #shareyourweather

A little video from this morning of the red-winged blackbird ... breath can be seen as he sings... Morning Notes ... www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nLT... #nature #wildlife #bird #canon #wow

Covid-19 vaccines roughly halved the chances that a US adult would need to visit the emergency room or be hospitalized with their infections last fall and winter, according to sources. But you won’t hear about it from the agency that led the research: the CDC. https://cnn.it/4dY5Yy5

Welcome home Artemis Crew. Amaze. Amaze. Amaze. #artemis #nasa #space #welcomehome

Here's the full chute deployment and splashdown of the Integrity capsule containing the Artemis crew (at 1.5x speed to fit within the Bluesky video limit). Welcome home!

Since humans are flying by the moon n today. Here is my best photo of the moon. #moon #space #nasa #artemis

Reid Wiseman on #Artemis II: "We have Earth out window 4 and Moon out window 3... the Moon is about 3-4 times the size of the Earth and it is almost full, and the Earth is just a small crescent out there... it's magnificent... such a majestic view out here" Mission Control: "Amaze, amaze, amaze!"

The mountain bluebirds are back. Female coming in for a landing. #bird #birds #nature #wildlife

I’d just like to thank President Trump for making me proud to be Canadian

I have a joke about pharmacy but it’s hard to swallow

“But, as you see, it's a beautiful day, the Strait of Hormuz is open and people are having a wonderful time.”

The immune system is not a muscle. It is a cleansing fire. It causes collateral damage. It has a limited supply of fuel. It can get out of control. Don’t burn your whole house down every time by catching every disease without caution.

This is hilarious. Also, completely enraging.

Just wanted you guys to see “Riding in a golf cart fatly”

Carney: Canada supports the United States… Canada: no, we fucking do not.

Alberta could: 1) Diversify its economy 2) Raise the income tax rate 3) Increase the corporate tax rate 4) Increase the royalty rate 5) Introduce a sales tax Instead, it’s blaming immigrants. This is racism. This is xenophobia. This is shameless avoidance of responsibility. This is not my Alberta.

Forget the figure skaters, this is my new favourite Olympian.

Happy Superb Owl Day! #SuperbOwl #Owl #nature #wildlife #bird

From yesterday .... a beautiful male snowy owl. A view from the road one power pole away and then the shot via a 600mm lens. #birds #nature #wildlife #owl

Shout out to the Parks Canada staff for the tremendous job they've done in training the Bison of Elk Island National Park! #wildlife

This day always brings a smile to my face :)

He’s coming after Canada’s natural penguin preserves, and I say we just give them all to him if he drops today’s threats along with the auto and steel tariffs.

How well has Canada learned to survive winter? People live year round in Winnipeg.

Winter raptors like Snowy Owls and Rough-legged Hawks travel thousands of kms to winter in these areas - mainly because of the mice and voles. Unlike the raptors that get loads of clicks and likes - the undervalued rodents get next to no love at all!

Danielle Smith (best read in a whiny, entitled voice): “The feds have always unfairly hampered oil production in Alberta” The oil sands:

This 737 came into service in 1979 with PWA in Edmonton. It was retired from Air Canada’s service in 2005. The aircraft became part of an exhibit at the Alberta Aviation Museum. In 2013, the aircraft was flown to Villeneuve where it now sits. #abandoned #Alberta #yeg #history #plane #airplane
