I live on a small 🇨🇦 island and write stuff. Often about science. Often for kids. But not always. Website: www.claireeamer.com/?m=1

A tiny tree frog perched on the rim of the geranium pot. #amphibians #gabriolaisland

A tiny green frog with a slash of black across its eye perches on the rim of a plastic plant pot. The geranium leaves in the pot are many times the size of the frog.

The last of the sunset glows in the clouds and ocean, looking out from Brickyard Beach on Gabriola Island, BC.

Lookee! It's a real thing! Or at least the first version of a real thing. The ARC, advance reading copy, of my new book for @orcabook.bsky.social is available now in digital and paper forms. #Winter2027

The paper ARC of my book Just a Piece of String: An Invention That Changed the World lies on a wooden table. The cover shows the title surrounded by brightly coloured images of kids and string and things made with all kinds of string.

Doctor Steve gets it right again! thetyee.ca/Opinion/2026... Cartoon by Greg Perry

Entitled "FIFA World Cup Positions." Four cartoon panels show: Midfielder (a football player in a yellow uniform about to kick a ball); Forward ( a player in an orange uniform moving the ball); Goal-keeper (player in a blue uniform in front of the net); and Infantino (Gianni Infantino kneeling on the ground and kissing the shoes of a large figure, only partially in frame, labelled "Trump").

Low tide at Goose Spit, Comox, on Vancouver Island, with snow-topped Coastal Range mountains on the mainland in the distance. It's possible we had the best weather in Canada this holiday weekend.

I love this headline on the CBC News feed!

Apropos of nothing beyond a need to see something other than doom, gloom, and outrage. Please enjoy this cute and chubby little island-sized reindeer grazing near the museum in Longyearbyen, Svalbard (a good many years ago). My photo.

A fine day to stay home, but maybe not to barbeque.

A barbeque buried under a mound of fresh snow, snow-covered trees in the background.

I...er....did it. Left that other platform -- the unspeakable one. To celebrate, here's an appropriate departure picture from my neighbourhood:

Sunset over a calm sea, a low island in the distance and mountains beyond. A line of bright gold and pink in the clouds over the mountains, with the colour reflected in the water.
