Your yard can be part of restoring biodiversity in London! Native plants are low maintenance, use less water, attract wildlife and create healthy places for people as well.

Even when the world feels upside down, beauty still shines through. Nature and freedom are worth preserving for these simple moments of peace. Take a breath, find your reflection, and remember—perspective isn’t just what we see, but how we choose to see it. ☁️ 🌅

This long exposure infrared image was made on Moccasin Creek in Rabun County Georgia. I used a full spectrum Nikon D750 with a Nikkor 17-35mm f2.8 lens and a 720nm filter. Processed in Lightroom.
Get out there.

The five ways of expressing appreciation are: words of affirmation, quality time, acts of service, tangible gifts and physical touch.

Criticism Is Good But Praise Is Better
One of the worst supervisors I had during my career was someone who found it difficult to say anything nice to me or majority of people that worked for him.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

Trump just said he intends 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico next week.
In the Oval Office he told reporters: “We’re thinking in terms of 25% on Mexico and Canada.” “I think February 1.” “I think we’ll do it Feb. 1. On each.”

One of my favourite photos so far this winter - turkey tracks in the snow. We have a resident flock of ~10 or so that we see every so often. Taken in Vankleek Hill, ON #NaturePhotography #WinterPhotography #Canada #Ontario
