Trying out some Christmas presents before the end of the holidays. Got spoiled with a bunch of new Wingspan bird cards!

Winter in White.

Perfect sledding weather ❄️

This year's Advent Calendar.🎁

Tis the season 🎅🧑‍🎄🦌

A few of my favourite things.

Found this puffball of Magpie winter sunbathing.

Just a bit of snow...

Edge of Winter.

Birds. 🦤

Bay of Fundy 🌊

Wild wanderings.

Lunenburg NS. Charming in any weather!

East Coast❤️

Caught some colourful leaves still hanging on!

Looking good Halifax!

In memory of the most glorious tree. Branches that curled and unfurled beauty in all directions in all seasons. Fall was my favorite to see the splendor of red colour emerge in the garden. We moved away from her three years ago. Who knew you could miss a tree like a good friend?

Skippy. They're my favourite squirrel. Might get a little house or one of those picnic tables for snacks this Winter since the bush is all out of berries.

Ever changing prairie skies.

Golden sun through autumn leaves.

Autumn

Found a sleepy Bee

We hiked to the medicine wheel today in honor of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. The land teaches us respect for it's caretakers from generations before and to continue to care and preserve it for future generations.🧡

Nutters has yet to tackle the 'Squirrel Buster' feeders. Lots of other food in the garden for them, but sunflower chips are the backyard junk food. I think we underestimate how smart squirrels are.

In a world that is sometimes uncertain, I find increasing amounts of joy in the small things surrounding me.

Bees L❤️VE salvia! 🪻🐝

Last day to soak it all in.

My paradise 💙🤍❤️

Kouign-amann= BUTTER+sugar+dough. The speciality of Brittany. If you can't see through the paper it's not the real thing.🇫🇷

Beach nights

Coastal cruising

La Cite de la Mer. One of the coolest museums to visit! It is the story of humanity's relationship with the sea. All the amazing submarines are on display, including my childhood favourite Alvin, Deepsea Challenger, and the first French Nuclear sub the Redoutable that you can tour! 🛟

Arromanche site of the ruins of the Allied forces artificial port and Point du Hoc where Omaha beach is. The scale of the machinery of war is impactful. It's one thing to read about the war, and another deeper feeling all together when you are up close to history.

Juno Beach. The contrast of the beautiful landscape and the tragedies of battle that occurred here on D-Day were ever present.

Visiting Normandy. The evidence of why "Never Again" should never happen again.

À la Plage

New Garden friends

A marvelous night for a moondance.

Galavanting around the edge of the prairies. Such a beautiful place!

Summer is orange.

Last light.

Down by the Bow

This is the bee I saved today from the lawnmower. Now I will have to do a "bee sweep" before mowing all the time. I named her Petunia. She is currently flightless, maybe forever. Her new home has lots of flowers to climb on. 🐝❤️
