Just spent a day hanging out with these gorgeous avian dinosaurs from the clade tyrannoraptora (palaeontologists know how to name 'em) on the Ria Celestun. Thanks to Mexico, Celestun, and these cool dinosaurs, for letting me hang.

I got to try these and they were amazing!

Good news, friends. After more than fifty years, the shambling corpse of the Pickering Airport plan has been put to rest, and thousands of hectares are being added to the Rouge National Urban Park.

Come midwinter I have difficulty believing that this tree really looks like that half the year.

Getting into the woods in winter is like going to another planet. Gotta suit up. Everything that's familiar is different. Islands of ice on the water. Crystals growing on moss.

Just some sauropod pictures from the Royal Ontario Museum. Gordo the diplodocid barosaurus and a replica of the titanosaur futalognkosaurus. When writing a novel about dinosaurs it's nice to have a place like the ROM nearby.

My current writing project is heavily about the seasons and has me thinking about how, around here, there are a lot more than four. Looking forward to the tree flowers opening up again.

We got our first snow yesterday so naturally I thought about biking down to the beach. 😂
The snow is gorgeous, and a reminder that all things must rest, and that I should slow down, and and and...

- Hey, what you doing on a Saturday night?

One of the places I go to #write
It counts if it's just in my head. The interaction between the world and my brain is where it all starts.

A long time ago a pond of water lilies froze solid in what is now Wyoming while they were flowering around early June. Below them was a record of the age of the dinosaurs. An asteroid had hit Chicxulub, in what is now Yucatan, causing an impact winter and dusting the frozen lilies with debris...

Seeing Big Bird as a dromaeosaurid is maybe the best way I could have started my weekend.

When I finished the edits on my book about time-travelling queers and dinosaurs (until I get it back from an editor, anyway), I went for a long hike to think about next projects. Nothing came up, but I got this picture of me being a goofball in my favourite kilt.
Being a writer is hard sometimes. 🤣
