Wait, I thought April Fool's Day was yesterday? What's this white stuff doing falling from the sky?

For reference, this is Hamilton, Ontario.

I completely pepper-gassed myself this morning, cooking breakfast.
I typically make filling for a few days at a time, so this morning was a big old pile of peppers.
Worth it! It was delicious!

A really cool day for birding today, but the visibility was terrible. It was one of those bland, super overcast days where everything looks grey and brown.
Here are some pics of a Great Black-Backed Gull, a female and male Merganser, and a Red-Tailed Hawk.

I can't wait until there are a bunch of articles about how greedy the Canadians are for raising prices 33% instead of the 25% they were expecting.
Well you can't expect trump voters to be good at math, the extra cost ALSO applies to the tariff, 133% × 75% = 100%, the original cost.

We didn't see the Red-Tailed Hawk this morning, but we did see this Rough-Legged Hawk in almost the same spot, so that's a win!

There's a red-tailed hawk that hangs out right next to the road, close to my house. Whenever I step out of the car - whoosh, gone, resulting in these terrible shots.

One of these days, buddy, one of these days I'm going to get a good shot of you.

These four cats are snoozing on the couch, leaving no room for me.
They're too cute to disturb!
That's Panthro, Elro, Turbo, and Morgoth.

Oh, I can see no way in which this will go horribly, horribly wrong.

We finally saw a Merlin today while birding! Also a juvenile bald eagle, a beaver, and lots of different ducks.

Panthro and Gandalf (siblings) snuggle in that little bed and it's soooooo adorable. Both of these cats are weird, but so cute.

We went out looking at cool ducks today at the lift bridge in Hamilton. Long tailed ducks, scoter, and goldeneye were the cool ones we saw.

Turbo loves snuggles!

Honestly I don't even know what to say about what happened yesterday. I'm sad, angry, repulsed, and a little surprised at how public it was.
At this point all I can do is hope the world's militaries are gearing up for the upcoming battles.

We caught a really nice sunset this evening, stopped to take a few pics.

My first time cross-country skiing since ... sixth grade I think? Had a blast! I didn't go very far, just wanted to get a feel for it today.

Soon enough it'll be Buntin' Huntin' season! These Indigo Bunting are my favorite. They're beautiful, but they're difficult to photograph because they love to hang out high in trees.
Don't worry, I don't hunt them with a gun, I hunt them with a Canon.

Quick photoshoot this morning of my breakfast. The recipe is for the pretzel bagels, but we set up a fancy breakfast sandwich shot to include. This is actually pretty typical of what I eat in the morning, except I normally put the toppings inside of the omelet to keep it neater and easier to eat.

I'm ashamed to see something like this, but sadly, not surprised.
H5N1 is real, obviously.
It's going to be a big problem for humans, both with direct human to human transmission, as well as a major impact to our food sources.
So, get ready.

Ok, get used to cat photos on here.
Elro, Morgoth, and Panthro snuggle in my lap almost every evening as we watch some TV. At first it's comfortable, but once I get up to use the bathroom I have to squeeze back in and it's not comfortable but it sure is cute!
