Midnight, June 21, ten years ago. My backyard, when I lived in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada. #midnightsun #stackedstone #landscaping sub #arctic

Photo of a yard that is comprised of gravel walkways through exposed pink granite bedrock with stacked stone fence and planters. Deciduous trees and shrubs are planted here and there. Photo is taken at midnight but the light conditions are day-like due to the all-day light you get at high latitude locations.

On a follow-the-river (or brook, as we call them in NL) hike on Tuesday. This brook (Broad Cove Brook) was our favourite place for swimming when I was growing up here in the 70’s and 80’s. No indoor pools in rural (outport) Newfoundland. Water temps are a smidge above “numb”. #hike #waterfall

has anyone seen one of these before? It is in a Newfoundland #Ediacaran mudstone found with @jeffontherock.bsky.social today. It looks a bit like beetle boring in wood. Maybe @ichnologist.bsky.social has seen something like it. burrows on the same bed are positives, this is a negative feature.

Polytrichum moss spore capsule. NWT, Canada. #moss #bryophyte #plants. Each spore capsule is about 5mm in the longest dimension.

Photo of 5 spore capsules on thin orange stalks. The spore capsules look like tiny barrels, horizontal in orientation. The barrel tops (except for one) have orange covers with a bird beak like structure in the middle. One capsule has lost its cover, revealing what looks like a fine mesh screen over the barrel top/opening.
