Air Canada will suspend flights to JFK for nearly 5 months as jet fuel costs soar Air Canada will suspend service to New York’s JFK International airport over the summer, the latest move in an industry struggling with high fuel costs and falling supplies.

“Air Canada will suspend service to New York’s JFK International airport over the summer as the war in Iran creates jet fuel shortages that have sent prices soaring.

Canada’s flag carrier said Friday that service from Toronto and Montreal to JFK will cease June 1 and resume Oct. 25.”

Dawn chorus.

From today’s early morning woodland walk. The air was warm, the sunlight gentle on the new leaves, and the birdsong in full tune. May your day be peaceful, my friends. 😊

I can always tell when someone put something into ChatGPT and just copied what it spit out because it always reads like someone's first foray into doing book reports.

A short footbridge crosses water in the country with tree branches hanging on the right and dry grasses covering the ground. There are hills in the background.

“Poetry isn’t an island, it is the bridge.
Poetry isn’t a ship, it is the lifeboat.
Poetry isn’t swimming. Poetry is water.”

A hummingbird nest is one of the great wonders. From the ground, they look like another bump on a branch. From above, an umbrella of leaves conceals them. And from the side, they look like a tiny knot, quilted with lichens, plant down and fibers.

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

a chocolate lab puppy does his best impression of sitting in a grassy lawn. his butt is down, but his hind legs are extended fully out in front. one of his front paws is standing on his tail. his chubby pink puppy tummy paunches out in a few wrinkles. his eyebrows are raised in concern over his grayish eyes. in the background, an elder statesman yellow lab looks on with mild disapproval.

This is Breuer. He's here to let you know it's National Puppy Day. Doesn't know what that means but hopes it involves snacks. 12/10 (IG: chasenbreulabradors)

Little daughter got a mystery bag at a rock/mineral/fossil show yesterday. The note that came with it feels targeted.

No fireworks when it happens.

Our dogs need to be able to celebrate with us.

Children at an Edinburgh hospital painted pebbles for the penguins at Edinburgh Zoo and will be able to watch them choose and present them to their mates via livestream.

The nurse stump wears the crown of the forest floor, and even in its afterlife it provides nutrients, moisture, and shelter to new life-such as mosses, ferns, and saplings—in the forest ecosystem.

You know the way to deter a Senator or Representative from becoming a turncoat would be for them to be forced to resign by their party leadership. Then they're free to run in the next election for the other party. At the very least they should be removed from any committees they currently serve on.

I go forest-bathing when I need to find balance, when I need to put things into perspective. Works most every time.
