#ArtAdventCalendar Day 1 - While the larch trees are stunning in golden yellow against dark conifers, I was struck by the potential of this in #BlackAndWhite... and was not disappointed.

Just a reminder, #ArtAdventCalendar starts tomorrow! 😃 Calling all artists of all media at all skill levels!

The #ArtAdventCalendar is one of my favourite hashtags--beautiful, creative, rich, diverse!

Though I participated for several years on the former socials, this will be my first go at it on Bluesky. Mostly my photography; sketches and watercolour if I'm feeling particularly brave.

Can't wait!
Artists & Art lovers!

Time to get geared up for the biggest art event of the year on Bluesky!

Last year we had close to 1500 artists from 25 countries posting original work daily from December 1-24

True remembering is to work for peace. 🕊️🙏

White poppies stand for 3 things.

• Remembrance of all victims of war

• Challenging war & militarism, & the glorification of war

• A commitment to peace & to seeking nonviolent solutions to conflict

Brené Brown writes that we are hardwired for connection—that the only way we can even remotely tolerate killing another human is to make them “less than” human in our minds.

Renovations to an old house can bring surprises. Today, some toys and newspaper came tumbling out when I removed some drywall. And also a couple of monetary relics. No gold or silver, sadly. But intriguing nonetheless.

Just 2 weeks until my first market day at Le Marché Bohème in #YEG. Running every Saturday this holiday season in Bonnie Doon Mall, you'll find me there Nov 15 & Dec 6. I'll have cards, calendars, bookmarks, notebooks, as well as canvas & framed prints. Hope to see you there!

Happy #NationalBlackCatDay to all who celebrate! If you're thinking "didn't we just have a black cat celebration day?", that would August 17, which was #BlackCatAppreciationDay. Yes, they get two special days. Yes, they deserve it.

Hikers traverse the rocky slope on the eastern shore of Chester Lake in #Kananaskis, #Alberta. About 15 minutes after taking this shot, I was where they were.

There they go! A big flock of Cackling Geese takes off. It was so loud, and not like the honking of Canada Geese - much squeakier 😂 #birds 🌿

Every spring the sewer grate on this particular street corner gets clogged, which makes it tricky to drive through, but great to photograph.

Well, look what showed up in my YouTube algorithm today; even as someone who has lived here over 20 years (and walking distance from the #YEGRiverValley for most of it), I didn't know some of these details. Worth a watch.

Today, I'm thankful for my #garden. I grow flowers, herbs, fruits, & veggies. I spent the weekend cooking & preserving, and was reminded of how connected we are to the earth.
May I steward Her well in all seasons.

"An educated Alberta is a better Alberta." She is spot on. Quality public education is a human right--see Article 26 on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. What we have in Alberta right now does not meet the criteria, and is not best practice. We can and need to do better. #ABEducation #ABLeg

Today I am thankful to live in a city that is beautiful all year 'round. I live walking distance from Edmonton's beloved River Valley, and that feels like such a privilege.
