I'd been skulking about in the woods for a couple hours with no luck. Then I saw this Common Yellowthroat hiding in a cedar tree. After a few minutes, she finally gave me a shot. Hanwell, #NewBrunswick, Canada June 2026 📸 #birds #warbler #COYE #nature #wildlife #photography #Nikon #Z9 #Nikkor800pf

Sadly, there is a dearth of cows (and thus, cow patties) in my back yard. But I did find this awesome Gold-and-Brown Rove Beetle in a pile of my dog's poop!

I only noticed the little hitchhikers near the end of its tail section after I'd taken the photo and loaded it onto my computer for editing. Had I noticed in the field, I would have tried to get a nice clear image of the little critters. Anyone know what they are?

Thank you for the shout-out. I can never thank you enough for your support over the years. It’s a tough go being an editorial cartoonist in 2026, but I’m lucky to work for a newspaper that still wants to do its job. @theglobeandmail.com

"Look at the four White-tailed Deer frolicking in the ocean" are words not often uttered, I'll wager. But I uttered them on this particular morning. :) St. Andrews, #NewBrunswick, Canada June 2026 📷 #mammals #deer #marinelife #nature #wildlife #photography #Nikon #Z9 #Nikkor800pf

Four light brown deer are frolicking in a shallow pool of water amongst the seaweed-covered rocks of the intertidal zone at low tide. More seaweed-covered rocks are in the foreground and the calm ocean water is behind the deer.

You all know I try to stay away from politics on this account, but sometimes you have to express your view on something when that something is important to you. This cartoon accurately expresses my view on something. (Full credit goes, of course, to the incomparable @deadder.bsky.social.)

A political cartoon drawn by Michael deAdder showing Donald Trump standing in front of the Parliament of Canada, which has a giant middle finger in the place of the Peace Tower. Fuck Donald Trump. Fuck Donald Trump right in the asshole with big rubber dildo.
