Bay of Exploits, Newfoundland. Thru-hiker, kayaker, wilderness wanderer. PCT 2018, CDT 2023, and many others. Posting about the North, NL, weather, conservation, rewilding. 📸 my own.

In late September I came upon a herd of 30-40 caribou on a foggy morning while on a cross-country traverse of the southern Long Range Mountains. They were curious and unfrightened. One of the most surreal and timeless wildlife encounters I've ever had ❤️
Tonight's blood moon over Newfoundland, taken from my phone during my night shift. Sometimes it's worth it to stay up all night! #lunareclipse

More iceberg photos 😊 I've never seen a berg this early in the season before. It feels good to get out and explore the frozen headlands.

Between two weather systems, a clear Thursday view of the island from MODIS. Looks quite white.

Spent some quality time with this beautiful berg up in Twillingate today 😍
The wind and wild sea were great companions as well 😉 #NLwx #IcebergSeason2025

Hey all!!! This little Boreal Owl was attracted to some movement under the snow by the bird feeders. Taken at dusk as sun was almost gone:)

These cold, windless winter evenings have been few and far between. Grateful for the noticeably longer days ❤️

Être heureux, généreux et bienveillant est un acte de résistance envers tous ceux qui capitalisent sur notre colère et notre peur. Aimer son prochain, lui ouvrir les bras et refuser la haine sont des gestes révolutionnaires dans la société d'aujourd'hui.

Vive la révolution. ❤️

A beautiful wintery day walking the shoreline on PEI this Christmas Eve eve.

Low-angled winter sun, clouds racing overhead. Feeling nostalgic for a reason I can't name...

Splendid morning after the snowfall. No rain, either. It breaks my heart that this will all be melted by Thursday 😢

Lakes are frozen, rivers still flow. Tomorrow, all will be covered in fresh snow ☺️

The woods are lovely, dark and deep...

It was a beautiful, calm evening down at Gander Lake today. My car broke down, but at least I got a hike in before night shift 😅

The ocean is glossy calm. The morning's snow has mostly melted. Not a breath of wind. I miss my kayak...
