Lover of the arts, still, a believer in humanity and science; master of nothing. Going up river with my son now firmly at the bow, my brother always at the sterrn, and me, senses fully awake tucked in the middle, taking in all the beauty.

The most important values I hold dear to my heart are found in this wonderful basket. They are under grave threat at this time. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are the center of what I hope for my dear country Canada. It is what seperates us from our neighbour and I will defend them. I will resist.

My brother is always unnerved whenever I pull out a now seldomly used adjective such as "splendid."

Simply splendid.

Imagine if our lives were as splendid as the tranquility found in this beautiful landscape photographed appropriately by the master, Ansel Adams.

Watching Ken Burns documentary on the American Revolution on the now tyrant defunded PBS while having watched his equally compelling documentary on the civil war I'm left to wonder if in present day America the American people have the will to fight against tyranny for their liberty.

I don’t wish to be cynical, but for most of us seeing this we are left to wonder, to wonder of the beauty and wondrous nature of the universe, yet, we have our Trumps and Putins and their acolytes how would destroy it all for their own blip in time lust of avarice and power.

@docnaismith.bsky.social Hi the

I hope you were able to catch the #Raptors game vs Cleveland tonight. I remember the night when #ScottieBarnes was drafted and his joy was so genuine and infectious. Well, tonight Scottie Barnes arrived; the player I knew he could be. All NBA tonight.

Cheers to you.

My grandfather enlisted in the Canadian army at 16. Got on a boat for England to fight in WW1. He lived and had my father. My father and mother had me. Now I have a wonderful son and live as a free man in a great country, Canada. Ukrainians are heroes. Freedom has a price. They lead the way.
🌺 #RemembranceDay We remember those who fell for freedom more than a century ago.

Today in 🇺🇦, men and women fight again with the same courage for the same causes: freedom, democracy and sovereignty.

Lest we forget, and lest we look away 🕊️

Re-posting for #ShareMondays2025 because I have way too many photos to review still and I like this one :)
Boom!

A good deal of my time spent on the beach at Jökulsárlón is trying to capture waves hitting icebergs, without the iceberg moving (and being blurred). Occasionally it all comes together :)

To every Canadian...

This just in. The Americans are doing everything they can to keep us out. What a terrible shame. Hint... Not the best way to make friends.

Seeing this on my phone at first I thought it was an impressionist painting, but no, just a beautiful photo from someone who has an eye for beauty.

Dear Canada,

We have to fight for our democracy here too. The Maple MAGA party of Canada under the leadership of Pee Pee, the abrasive, boorish, let's play to the base instincts of Canadians is a threat to decency in Canada.

Congratulations to the "new" Democrats on a solid night.

Stay vigilant.

Sports can be so unforgiving. Miracle plays, a game of inches; fairytale endings. Can't think of another sport that does it as well as baseball. To the Toronto #BlueJays, thank you for a wonderful season, for doing Canada proud and representing our great country.

Dear Canadians,

Don’t let this be you. Think twice before you cross the border. If you are not white anything can happen to you in America and you have no recourse, no rights and the serious possibility of bodily harm.

Please take care.
