Snowpatch Spire in Bugaboo Provincial Park. I was hoping for the Milky way but the clouds had other ideas. It took awhile to get a somewhat clear sky and enough moonlight to get a shot I was happy with. #photography #landscapephotography @bluesky.photography

My XTerra goes interesting place - a tough vehicle, but it requires maintenance for longevity. It's insane that several parts manufacturers were bought and bankrupted by one company - First Brands Group - making once common cheap parts near impossible to find. #enshitification

Moon setting behind Bugaboo Spire. I was almost packed up and ready for the hike out and 10 hour drive home, but I kept watch on the moon as it transited the sky. As it began to set I grabbed my camera and snapped one last shot. #landscapephotography #photography @bluesky.photography

How it started / how it went. My first time in the Bugaboos and they did not disappoint! By morning there was at least 6-8 inches of snow. This was at about 2450 meters.

It’s really weird not having to check the daily forecast for Vancouver. It used to be, there’d be a day or two of rain mixed in, maybe some cooler mornings. Now, it is consistently hot and smokey.

Wildfire smoke is getting to be a light fog in Vancouver. Measuring pm2.5 in my backyard. I picked this up several years ago when something shifted: wildfire smoke was becoming a common occurrence in the city, lock clockwork.

The wildfire smoke reached us last night, and I gazed up at an angry orange moon. This morning I looked directly at the neon pink-red sun and breathed in air that stung. And our prime minister works to push ever more pipelines through. "Build Canada Strong" as it burns to ash around us.

Coast redwoods top 100 meters, and at that height pulling water up from the roots nearly fails. Their fix: absorb fog straight through their needles. That is why they only grow in California's coastal fog belt. The tallest trees on Earth cheat physics with fog. 🧪 #HowToBuildAGiant #plants

This marmot was super curious, coming close and scampering away, passing behind rocks, and back again. It’s the first time I’ve been able to get this close, and I think it’s because it was mutual curiosity. Did you know marmots hibernate up to 8 months of the year? #photography

They say that bears like to sit and enjoy nature. I suspect all animals do. It’s only humans that make a big fuss about it.

I’ve started to fool around with solar power, and it’s pretty exciting to see my backup battery charge from the big light in the sky. In British Columbia we have relatively cheap hydroelectricity, so this is more for power outages due to winter storms and potential summer droughts.

I'm more likely to die in a heat dome than to see any personal tangible benefits from expanding Canada's fossil fuel production. Even if I thought I'd see personal benefits, I'd still argue we shouldn't do it, because I understand that the planet and the future of our species are not mine to trash.

My “outdoor office”. Printing my cards and packaging them. I love printing my own work, feeling the photos become tangible. I like the process, selecting the particular paper for the “feel” of it when you hold them.
4 cards on a coffee table, a raven in the snow, small alpine flowers at sunset, a mountain and ocean scene at sunset, a wave at sunset reflecting the sun. A laptop and mug behind them.
