Me too Carl! And today it is finally warming up ☀️

This is lovely

Do I have any #ParkChat friends who (1) live in CA and (2) were part of the DOGE federal work force reductions that might want to speak at an upcoming event with a large audience of decision makers? If so, reach out!

Another sign of spring - the chorus frogs are out! 🐸

Thank you! I am very much looking forward to the warmth again.

Signs of spring. Rain and puddles sure but also the skunk cabbage coming up quickly.

The fact the candidate everyone isn’t talking about is Conservative candidate, Andrew Lawton, is SHAMEFUL.

This piece of filth has DECADE of bigotry, sexism, homophobia, on record. Not one bad day.

Why isn’t Poilievre being asked to remove him, like when he ran for Ford a few years ago?

This Wednesday at 9 PM ET #ParkChat welcomes @beckyjlomax.bsky.social and @thedetoureffect.bsky.social as our special guest hosts. They are looking at a very interesting topic “Managing Fears While Hiking”. Please join us. @naturetechfam.bsky.social @camarowrx.bsky.social @tthrash.bsky.social

A depiction of brownies from Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black's Spiderwick Chronicles, showing a small fey creature in green britches and a white shirt with a thimble hat and a duster made of a badminton shuttlecock. Words explain how to keep them happy but are too small to read, but are observations made by Arthur Spiderwick, who is chronicling the fey in his home because he can see them.

Leave out milk, bread, and honey and you'll have less housework to do: the brownie is a Scottish spirit that at night will tidy up the home a bit if given offerings. If ignored or offended, they become boggarts, so be kind. #FolkloreSunday

CHARLIE ANGUS RESPONDS TO DONALD TRUMP'S ECONOMIC EXTORTION YouTube video by Charlie Angus

Please watch my statement on Trump's attempt to extort Canada.
The stakes are high but much higher in the United State as Donald Trump leaves the USA weaker economically and politically.
This is how the great American century ends - like a toxic sideshow.

This makes me so happy! Thank you, Washington! #ParkChat

Me too! First time it’s felt like a real winter in a few years now.

😂 I can’t unsee it now

Thanks Eugene!

Evergreens heavy with snow. A path veers to the right. Otherwise the snow in front of the trees is untouched.

The depth of snow ❄️

A path of mystery dark stream flows and leads from underfoot through snow-heavy shrubs into a forest deep and tall with slender trunks and endless snow-adorned branching cascades in the day’s grey light.

A group of snowshoes and a small dog with a red jacket cross a large expanse of snow with a forest in the background.

A group of snowshoers (and a dog!) seen today on hike 9 of my #52hikechallenge - a 2.9k snowshoe. Another beautiful day to get outside!

Stunning shot

The day after my body says it does too 😁

That’s so awesome. What a good dad! We had a lake behind our childhood house and my dad used to light a bonfire in this old drum and we too would skate for hours. Good memories.

Just gorgeous!

Ah nice Eugene, love this! ⛸️❄️

Woah very beautiful landscape!

Today is National Flag Day in Canada and I think I spent it in a fitting way - skating on an outdoor trail on top of Blue Mountain 🇨🇦 I haven’t been skating in 2 years so I had a big grin a lot of the time. And while this wasn’t hiking, I’m counting it as “hike” 8 of the #52hikechallenge.

Love that your references are nature and not man made stuff first!
