Entomologists, do you recognize this orb weaver?

Mexico is so hot compared to home right now..

Wow! Sounds just like a real fire (from the depths of hell)

Anyway, here's a banana slug that almost made me void my poor bladder.

The textures, the sounds, the smells... I could spend my entire life here, appreciating all that she had to offer.

Vancouver Island in the winter is so beautiful, raw and moody. Even when it rained non-stop, it still took my breath away.

I think this is the first holiday season (the first in a long time, anyway) that I've felt festive and nostalgic.

Winter sports in YEG are a blessing!
