A very sunny start to a brand new year.

For the #ArtAdventCalendar: a brush pen sketch of a belted kingfisher, doodled as part of a past #Inktober challenge. I’ve spent much time attempting to get close enough to a kingfisher for a photo – and still so far the best I’ve achieved is this courtroom sketch. #birds

#ArtAdventCalendar More basic Zentangle.

Oh, how I miss this goofball - 10 year old puppy looking to play…

It’s snowing!

Ahahahaha 🤣 Elizabeth May explaining the tanker ban “especially to the attention of slow learners; Andrew Sheer, Danielle Smith, take note.”

Pretty skies.

Terrifyingly beautiful.

Lots of baby birds around these days, like this adorable juvenile Rose-breasted Grosbeak that was checking out my bird feeders.

A very dapper Cardinal.

Sweet lady Cardinal enjoying a cool bath on a hot muggy day.

My perfect peony!

Pretty skies.

Remember when Poilievre served coffee to the Truck Convoy three years ago? He makes it sound like they were just regular Canadians. I remember it a little differently. Make your vote count for something Canadians can believe in. #CanadaStrong

Pretty sky.

Dear Canada, Pierre Poilievre is Coming for Your Reproductive Rights vajenda.substack.com/p/dear-canad...

Spring has sprung!

The Easter Bunny maybe?

Last gasp snow people.

There was no lost Liberal decade. The Trudeau government spent 5 years fixing the damage Harper left, then 5 more navigating COVID and global inflation. That's called leadership. Canada isn't broken-it's still standing because they didn't walk away when it got hard.

I am Canadian, and somehow I have become infected by the woke virus, & I am okay with being woke. What say you.

OY! You looking at me??!!

Snowflakes! Despite being despondent with today’s snowfall, this beautiful Cardinal lifts my mood.

Mark your calendars!

Surprise turkey visit today!

Graphic artist Rebecca Burke was on the trip of a lifetime. But as she tried to leave the US she was stopped, interrogated and branded an illegal alien by ICE. Now back home, she tells others thinking of going to Trump’s America: don’t do it /1 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Not a Canadian but “Quiet rage and thermal socks” I can relate to!

The contrast between Poilievre bleating about soldiers and flags in his ads and Carney calmly meeting with new allies, building new trade and support relationships is stark. Poilievre tells us he'll make us strong. Carney reminds us we ARE strong. #Canada

Hey, 🇨🇦Liberals! Did you know that you can vote every day from now until April 22 at the closest Elections Canada Office? No matter which riding you live in? They’ll get your ballot back to your riding to be counted. And virtually no lineup! Did it today 7 minutes. 👇🏻 www.elections.ca/Scripts/vis/...

#TuesdayBlue "Little God of the Sea" by Laurie Mutalipassi. This is Laurie's representation of the lovely Monterey Bay in California. She used raw edge applique and created the crashing waves with lace and cheesecloth. I'll attach lose-up pictures of of the waves.

A vote for NDP in central #Ottawa is a vote for Poilievre. Seeing Harden signs around the neighbourhood begs the question: Why risk losing a Liberal seat? If PP wins, we ALL lose. Don’t split the vote. Canada’s future is way more important than allegiance to a party (or person). #CanadaStrong 🇨🇦

At a time of national crisis, the piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre has sworn to deprive 🇨🇦Canada of its public broadcaster. Every fascist coup starts with the seizure of radio and television stations. 🤷🏼🙄🤷🏼

Never forget.
