What is the brand of Kali’s harness? I have a big, wintery dog who is almost too big for all harnesses but this one looks like he may like it. Meet Sam.

Were you a sleeper cell spy? In fifty years, will all this be declassified? And you'll confess why you did it and I'll say, "Good riddance" 'Cause it wasn't sexy once it wasn't forbidden. I would've died for your sins, instead, I just died inside. And you deserve prison, but you won't get time.

It is funny looking duck season. These are hooded mergansers.

Wednesday is my medical appointments day so I had some time this morning to get outside with my camera. I was looking for owls but came across this beautiful coyote deep in a farm field not far from Orleans. #photography #wildlife

Sam’s workout is complete.

A few people have reached out because I’ve been quiet. I’ve had a challenging time and am working part time. I haven’t spent time marketing or conferencing because I do not know what kind of work I’m targeting. You can mostly find me photographing birds, napping and reading.

Blue-headed vireo, chestnut-sided warbler, Baltimore oriole and grey catbird today in Russell.

I’m inviting people to go on a bird watching tour. Never thought I’d say that.

Last night we lost the matriarch of the Dillabough family, Eileen Dillabough at age 94. I’ll miss my grandma very much.

I’m so proud of my colleague Andrew Paterson and I’m grateful that others are discovering that he’s one of the quiet leaders of the Ottawa Bar. This mention of his article in the CCLA newsletter made my day.

Voted in Prescott-Russell-Cumberland. This is a great weekend to do it.

My friend Travis Iverson does so much for others. He’s struggling with injuries related to being wheelchair bound and poor transfers by care providers. If you could spare any money, consider giving a gift to Travis. iverfashion.com/products/don...

We cheered on @harvard.edu today during our morning meeting. Leaders lead.

The team at Durant Barristers was thrilled that Harvard pushed back against Trump’s nonsense. We busted out the mugs to celebrate.

Backyard birds. We are blessed.
