I wrote this article nine years ago on my church blog for #InternationalWomensDay. So much respect to the many women who are difference makers in the world. And those known personally to me who are difference makers in my life. Thank you. #Article. ⬇️ mysundayblog.com/2017/03/11/b...

Canada Scott #534 with a Pocon (Post Office Computer Organization Number) 1st day cancellation from Scotland, Ontario. Scotland is in Brant County and has a population of 575 people. #StampShareSaturday

Delighted with this generous gift from Bob. 60 trees for 60 years. Thank you 🙏🏻 Bob! @protect.earth & @philsturgeon.com are doing great work. I must get up to Warleigh to lend a hand.

There is much more snow in the forests, but in the open areas thaw circles are now appearing. As the snow melts, and the darker bark of the trees absorb the warmth of the sun, it causes the snow to melt faster around the tree. Eventually to the bare ground. #winter #snowmelt #canada #snow ❄️

We are likely going to lose a lot of snow these next couple of days. Heavy rain and mild temperatures in the forecast. #ForestFriday

God, we seek from you truth in our history. We know that most history has been written by the winners. Give us the willingness to hear the stories that have been silenced. We pray for those who have stories that're difficult to tell. Grant us both the courage to speak & to listen

I don’t know about you, but I find this terrifying. Also, isn’t that the pastor that says women shouldn’t have the right to vote, among many other disturbing things?

It's HAWK BABY TIME! Mama Hera was glued to her nest this morning even in the sleet. She only got up once to stretch and let me grab a picture. #birds #hudsonhawks

Climate change is affecting the Great Lakes. Evaporation is accelerating, while reducing precipitation. Warmer temperatures means less ice cover in winter, increasing evaporation. Rainfall patterns are shifting, diverting less water to feed the lakes. #watercrises 🌎 www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRGp...

With milder, temperatures in the forecast, this will likely be the most ice the Great Lakes will have this winter season. This season reached a coverage of 50.29%, just shy of the historical average of 52%. Sources: www.weather.gov/cle/GreatLak... www.glerl.noaa.gov/data/ice/#hi... #GreatLakes 🌎

wow if you're looking for a new podcast on all things climate, sustainability, clean energy and beyond, here is a HUGE NEW LIST! I'm going to recommend starting with @climateconnections.bsky.social - each episode is only a minute & a half long. Which is your fav?

One of the many things I love about winter is the awareness of wildlife, even though you may not see them. The tracks they leave in the snow such these left by wild turkeys. This was a large group travelling mostly single file in the same direction. #ForestFriday #AnimalTracks #wildturkey #Canada

Little Owl in its roosting tree on the other side of the river at Deeping Lakes nature reserve today. Hidden away in a hole in a tree on a dull day at extreme range for my camera. Quite pleased with the results for #BitdsSeenIn2026

Showing some Canadian pride. It is very peaceful running trails in the winter. #Canada #running #winter

As a school crossing guard on a major Provincial highway highway in Ontario, Canada, I'm finding those computer screens in modern vehicles just as dangerous as drivers on cell phones. Drivers are distracted and not paying attention to their surroundings on the road. It's scary for the vulnerable. 🚸

You're welcome, Louise. That is quite the difference in photos. Pretty much a normal winter here. Days are getting longer now. In March we'll get some days above freezing. Continues to warm in April, though not unusual to still get snow. Some years we'll still get frosts in early June.

The reality of escalating extreme weather as we start 2026: Meteorologist @climatechris.bsky.social breaks it down. Serious question: Do you accept that this is happening?

The Carbon Budget Heist: The world's richest 1% exhausted their entire annual carbon budget (for 1.5°C) just 10 days into 2026. The top 0.1% blew through theirs by January 3rd. Oxfam calls this "Pollutocrat Day" .

Nearly half the places that once hosted the Winter Olympics may not have the right climate conditions to ever do it again. #climatechange

The peaks of Cerro Paine Grande, towering 2.6 km above, are enveloped in burst of red that was able to break through dense cloud cover. A spectacular yet brief moment, so typical of Patagonia! #bluesky #photography #landscape #nature #travel #art #landscapephotography #naturephotography #mountains

This memorial is both a thing of beauty, and a stark reminder of the death so common because of our built world. We owe it to them to make their death not in vein.

Today, Ash Wednesday is the 1st day of Lent. It is called Lent in English because it is the time of the year when days are lengthening in the northern hemisphere. www.christianity.org.uk/article/what...

Speaking with grace demonstrates tenderness in one's voice, even when talking about difficult matters. #Grace 🙏

Hard to believe it has been a year since I wrote this article. Still as proud as ever to be Canadian. #NationalFlagDay #Canada 🍁 theoldfellowgoesrunning.com/2025/02/15/h...

I am so happy Keith Dunn is posting here on Bluesky. I did not want to enter the dark hole at that other place. Thank you, Keith. #BM100

Yesterday the principal of the school I am crossing guard for invited me to an assembly that was focusing on the character theme "Be Kind". At the assembly I was called to the front and presented with this amazing poster from all the school. I was incredibly touched. #BeKind #SchoolCrossingGuard 🚸

Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes! "Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."

"So from now on, there must be no more lies. Speak the truth to one another". Ephesians 4:25 (The Jerusalem Bible) #EpsteinFiles

"The Church has been used to bless violence, to sanctify exclusion, to confuse the kingdom of God with the kingdoms of this world." Lord may I have that love and compassion for each individual as you have". Thank you @revjonswales.bsky.social for this incredibly powerful post. 🙏

I'll be talking about why information alone rarely motivates climate engagement; how identity, trust, and social norms shape the interpretation of climate evidence; and what we know about evidence-based approaches to communicating climate risks that do (and don't) catalyze action.

Hello World I'm a scientist and chemist, a juggler and long distance cyclist... and a priest in the Church of England. I blog and microblog about cycling, faith, and the ministry I have here in Weardale (County Durham, UK) - taking 35mm film photographs along the way.

Lies are all around us, #lies are destroying us, our #religion, our #science, our society. Simply put, #truth matters & #clergy are uniting to explain the value of truth; always but especially in a prevarication-filled environment. Join them and make the world a better place. tinyurl.com/4ppckhjc

Article I've written is based on a sermon I shared at Willis Presbyterian Church, Esson Presbyterian Church and Knox Presbyterian Church, Uptergrove a week ago on February 1st. God bless...Carl #peacemaker 🙏 mysundayblog.com/2026/02/08/b...

It is amazing that Lake Erie only had a 2% ice cover on January 14th. With frigid temperatures the last couple weeks it now has 100% ice coverage. A 40.25% coverage for all the Great Lakes. Average ice coverage 1973-2025 is 27%, More cold weather ahead. www.weather.gov/cle/GreatLak...

How to Attract Hummingbirds to Your Garden A very informative article. I used to have the plastic sugar-water feeders, but removed them a couple of years ago out of concerns of mold & fungus. Article from @learndirt.bsky.social learndirt.com/learn/how-to...

Somewhere under all that snow by the bird feeder there is a pollinator garden. Always amazing how the monarch butterflies find it each summer. #snowstorm #CanadaWinter #pollinatorgarden #Ontario ❄️🦋

A frosty start to the day. So wonderful to see sunshine. 😎
