"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

[For the Fallen, Laurence Binyon]

Quelle surprise. Lich has quite the ego & considers herself as some kind of freedom fighting hero who speaks for "all Canadians" as she's so often fond of saying. She got lucky - pretty sure her bail conditions did not include hanging with the likes of Tommy Robinson or Christine Anderson. #Traitor

Doing his best to look nonchalant while expecting peanuts so gave him an A for so quietly and patiently waiting. Everyone appreciates encouragement.

Cardinal rules!

This beautiful fellow is quite skittish right now whenever I get close with my camera but, hopefully, by the end of Summer or Fall he will be less so. Making sure to choose only the fattest of peanuts for him.

Happy Summer Solstice a day late. Bought what I thought was a typical flat of Cosmos at the market & it was clearly mislabelled. I've been continually surprised, as they open, to instead see a mix of Candy Stripe & Picotee. Yes, you bet I'll be collecting the seeds! #photography #flowers #gardening

Someone is head over heels that it's World Bee Day. Me too!

To raise awareness of the importance of pollinators, the threats they face and their contribution to sustainable development, the UN designated 20 May as World Bee Day.

Down to the wire as usual but, yay, I completed the voting process! It was a beautiful day to walk to my local post office & get the i.d. process started & confirmed at 13H03 (still kicking myself for forgetting to pick up eggs). Two hours later to the very minute, I had my pin & got 'er done!

It's #WorldWildlifeDay so I am sharing a photo of one of my BFFs (backyard feathered friends) Elvis. Typically I cannot tell the Black-Capped Chickadees apart but when it comes to this one, it's easy. Can you figure out why?

What's that on my countertop cozying up to my beloved & ancient Half Pint? Products from various locations in Québec including Snowdon Bakery right here in Montréal, as well as from Alberta, Chile, Costa Rica & Morocco. Nada from USA. When 🍁 syrup's less than $5 a tin, we buy more than 1 am I right?

Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Happy Winter Solstice! Fortunate to live in such close proximity to the mighty St-Lawrence River. I appreciate its beauty no matter the season but there's something pretty magical about it after freshly fallen snow on an extremely cold day. #photography #WinterSolstice #CanadaSky

Love that choice for a name and Kodama is the best girl ever! Already mutuals thank you and no dogs or cats. All my BFFs are feathered. Does that count?

And of course let's not forget about that guy endorsing this guy not so long ago.
