Writer. Photographer. Lover of the great outdoors. Work-in-progress is a novel about time-travelling queers and dinosaurs. (Work-in-progress #2, because #1 is almost done, is about an old moose, the sun, and skinnydipping.)
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.

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

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...
And that can all be true while I get excited for the return of beach weather.

- Hey, what you doing on a Saturday night?
- Not much. Just thinking about hugging trees.
(Just me and a cottonwood on the Toronto Islands in September.)

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...

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.

I forgot to mention how proud I am of my Halloween outfits. One for the gym (Letterkenny-inspired) and one for our driveway trick-or-treat robot dance party (which was as fun as I hope it sounds).

Spinosaurus just can't win. Is huge. T. rex is heavier.
Changes shape every two years. T. rex is somewhere between 1 and 100 species.
Poor Spino even got the worst JP movie.

Been writing a lot about pterosaurs and dinosaurs recently, and keep thinking about this great picture of my husband with the Quetzalcoatlus northropi at the Royal Ontario Museum.

I love autumn, writing, and photography, so I thought I'd combine all three. Now my legs are pleasantly tired, I've got a pile of memories, and not far past that staircase I made a change to my current work in progress novel that makes me very happy.
