Walking through a grove of golden quaking #aspens is one of nature's most beautiful experiences, like entering a natural cathedral with sacred light. See my gallery of #Colorado #fallcolors photos here: www.mountainphotography.com/gallery/autu...

I’m back from 2.5 years in Ukraine. It’s bittersweet, and a little strange. Still not sure whether it’s Winnipeg, or me, that’s more changed. A column in Saturday’s paper, online now. www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews...

Swimming legend Michael Phelps is paying close attention to Summer McIntosh at the world championships.

He’s been commenting on her races, including on last night’s stunning 200m butterfly victory.

What a trip. Almost done now and heading home tomorrow. We rode 2,000 kms with lots of really rugged terrain and more switchbacks I can tell you about. Here’s some pics of the beauty of India.

One of my favourite photos from the week.

Summer McIntosh just gave her gold medal away to a young fan up in the stands. (She gave every gold medal away this week)

This young woman watched it all and was gobsmacked by the moment. Jaw-dropping stuff at the pool all week.

Bruce Fanjoy was canvassing when the Liberals were headed towards extinction. He knew then, as now: Hate is not a platform, it's a tactic. Poilievre can't be trusted, and should be removed. Go get 'em, Bruce. #CdnPoli

Nearly every Hutterite in Manitoba can trace their ancestors back to a few tiny villages in Ukraine, now on the doorstep of war. We went to Zaporizhzhia — also once home to a flourishing Mennonite community — see what trace, if any, remains of that life.

While it may be feeling more spring-like down in southern Manitoba, it is still very much winter up around Churchill. The snow in these photos is about waist deep on most people.

When he was 16, Jim Marquardt was a lost soul in need of a mentor. He asked his English teacher for help to write a letter to his favorite athlete, Mike Liut. Months later, he got a life-changing reply.

@jprutherford.bsky.social found and wrote a beautiful story:
