Our ginger female cat Simba. We thought she was a male when we picked her up as a tiny kitten in a ditch at the side of the road in Huron County Ontario. Nope, she's a female who is smart and she already knew her name so we kept it.

Some pics of my wife and my trip to Nungwi Beach, Zanzibar, Tanzania.
The tides ebbed and flooded every morning and evening like clockwork.
I felt that our tourist dollars helped to alleviate poverty, promote socioeconomic development and establish trust. It was fun!!

Penguin dancing is an aggressive display, usually done by the male loon, to defend its territory or chicks from another loon. This display is extremely energy intensive, and the bird may do it repeatedly until the threat moves away. Loons often yodel (males only) and tremolo when penguin dancing.

Male Northern Cardinals feed female cardinals during courtship and when the female is incubating their eggs. This behavior is a way for the male to demonstrate his fitness to provide for his mate and their potential offspring while they are nesting together. Cardinals are monogamous birds.

Travertine are colorful formations of rock in Hot Springs State Park, Wyoming. They were created by the mineral-rich hot springs and are a type of limestone deposited by the precipitation of calcium carbonate. The locals call this one the "Green Eyed Monster." Neat!

The JWST has discovered a bizarre exoplanet named WASP-12B that orbits so close to its star that temps soar. Its heavy metals vaporize, rise, and escape into space. This planet isn't round like Earth. Instead, the immense gravitational pull from its star has stretched it into a football-like shape.

We rock heads up here in Canada love our Lake Superior agates. Here's a mitt full.
And Canadians still love rock hunting in Michigan. We're just not so crazy about coming across the border at this time. The Yooperlites in Leland can wait. ICE might deport us for illegally taking Yooperlites. Sheesh!

There is compelling evidence of a vast underground ocean beneath Mars' surface.
The water resides within fractures in igneous rocks, where geothermal heat prevent it from freezing. This environment may be similar to Earth's deep subsurface habitats, where microbial life thrives without sunlight

The James Webb space telescope has found a planet called K2-18 that orbits a small red giant star 124 light yrs from Earth.
The planet shows evidence of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) in its atmosphere. These two compounds are only known to be produced by life.

About 15,000 years ago, the Great Lakes were a salt water inland sea created by retreating ice from the last ice age. Coral reefs grew in them like this fascinating chain coral fossil. It was found on the southern shores of Lake Superior. These rocks look especially amazing under a UV light.

Theia, a small Mars sized protoplanet, is hypothesized to have orbited our Sun on a collision course with Earth around 4.5 billion years ago. It collided with our early Earth in a huge fireball that lead to the formation of the Moon.

Lake superior agate that has been polished with a tumbler and oil. It was found by Seth Trobec near Duluth Minnesota. An agate is an ornamental stone consisting of a hard variety of chalcedony, typically banded in appearance. Beautiful!

Sometimes we all need a little distraction from the political negativity everywhere on social media. So, here is a colorful rock formation in Zhanjiajie, China where layers of sedimentary rock display vibrant hues. It represents millions of years in one neat pic.

Hi, I enjoy everyone's political posts, however sometimes we all just need to appreciate the planet Jupiter. Isn't it awesome?

A Petoskey stone is a rock and a fossil that is composed of fossilized coral. Such stones were formed as a result of glaciation, in which sheets of ice plucked stones from the bedrock, were ground down and deposited in Michigan's UP.
