🍅😋 Can't wait to try those, especially along with our fresh rosemary, other herbs and garlic from the garden! 🌿 It does feel good to start harvesting the results of our hard work -- especially as we were concerned at one point that the deer would actually gobble up all of it! 🦌

Just back from vacation to learn that limnology has again entered the political discourse. I am honoured and privileged to work with so many exceptional colleagues & students on Lake Ontario, the "lake of shining waters" (Oniatarí:io).💙 This is a great way to get inspired to get back to work! 🩵

Canada appears water rich, yet much of its supply flows north, away from population centres, while groundwater is overdrawn and polluted—and policy gaps and climate stress are compounding risk. Writer Christopher Pollon explores: ow.ly/u5pA50YPwNR

On the right: text that reads “Trump is thirsty for Canada’s water, but our own gluttony is the bigger threat. Scarcity, pollution, and deregulation are putting the country’s supply under siege.”

Going through old photos. I just realized that this tree may be dropping a hint about the need for "tree cleaning".... Seen near Quinpool (Halifax)

A mossy tree which is engulfing a street sign. Someone has put in white eye-like circles to make it look like the tree is swallowing the sign. Moss growing on the sign has covered the wording "No Parking during those times for Street Cleaning" to only show "Tree Cleaning"

Urban trees maintained by @hfxgov.bsky.social, mapped by @justbartek.ca. While it doesn't document ALL trees, patterns can be seen. Downtown HFX & Woodside appear to be relatively tree-less. Tree species planted each side of Northwest Arm are different. 🧐🌳🌲💚🌎 justbartek.ca/hfxtrees/ #Halisky

Screen capture from a map of urban trees in Halifax. It shows mostly a mix of maples, oaks, elms and lindens along the streets. But Downtown Halifax has almost no trees except along the waterfront.

Last Saturday, I found myself near Quinpool (Halifax) in the snowstorm and enjoyed how the snow interacted with the murals and sights. I appreciate the artistry shown in the murals along (and off) the Quinpool. More details: quinpoolroad.ca/business-on-...

A giant green-eyed human head in a mural peeks through snow-trimmed saplings emerging from a snow bank.

A little alley with a very colourful mural on the left building contrasting with a plain brown shingled brown building on right. Big fat snowflakes can be seen coming down with snowy trees and cars in the distance.

Not a mural. Some kind of a food wrapping that got dissolved in snow on pavement and smudged around. Colours are very bright and contrasting, similar to the graffiti-style mural in the previous photo. #plasticpollution

Half and half. We are definitely between seasons, moving from winter to spring. Seen at Oakfield.

Last week, Dr. Jess Younker and Mallory Jarvis headed out for winter lake sampling when the ice was nice and thick. Our team were sampling for the "Project Thin Ice", a global phytoplankton research program & added our own zooplankton biomonitoring. @smuscience.bsky.social

Two crows are flying through a snowstorm. "I can hardly see a thing!" yells one, "We can't keep going like this!" The other one replies "Let's take a break!" They land in a snow-covered field, the snow is falling gently. "Oh!" exclaims one while looking around at the peaceful scene, "It's so beautiful when you aren't fighting against it."
