For Me... October is a magical transcendence to the everyday; a mad rush of colour. Blurred days of it. It's a race to collect memories. Until it's cold & over. As Kerouac said: 'everybody goes home in October' #Forestfriday #Nature #Beauty #Autumn #October #Photography #Reflections #Woods #ECK

Today I'm thinking of a quirk of fate that landed me in an indigenous space for my work. It's my 7th year capturing the stories at an inner city high school. I am committed to #listening, #learning, & #reflecting on what was & is, for a better shared future. (Alt has info) #CanadaSky🇨🇦 #photography

Sunset Has Fallen... on 'Birthday week' in our home. Three family members are now one year older. Much cake was consumed. The Days are getting shorter, by that I mean me. I'm getting shorter. We now return to our regularly scheduled programming. #Photography #September #Sunsets #ECK #Edmonton

Best News... I get my news from a variety of places. I dip into this news source quite a bit. Would recommend. It's curated by bookish humans, I think. It's a mix of paid and unpaid news articles - but always interesting. themorningnews.org and bsky.app/profile/them...

Vibing... I think I was vibing today. I don't know what that means exactly. I think it means I was in a 'flow'. I made a few disparate things happen. Then I saw this scene. Best thing I've seen in days; better than #autumn. For Dr. Markland. #Street #Streetphotography #Iphone #Myeye #Urban #YEG

Ella... My daughter turns 18 today. She's a beauty. Full of laughter and light. Her laugh was bonkers when she was a kid. She'd get laughing and laugh until she'd almost pass out. I hope that happens to her today, but not while driving. #photooftheday

Fun Guy Friday... Well, I don't know about you, but nothing calms down my monkey mind like walking into the #autumn woods and finding some big old rinds of #fungi to look at. What I like about fungi is that they are quiet, basic and agreeable. We always get along. #FungiFriday #FungiFriends #Nature

Always Canada... On #RedWed I'm proud saying this image was selected by @albertaviews.bsky.social for inclusion in their October issue. I'm a #Canadian first and then an Albertan. In that order. Forever. See Alt for Info. My thanks to the #magazine. #CA #Alberta #Thankyou #Photography #Edmonton #YEG
A large Canadian flag hangs from the Federal Building in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The image was taken on July 5, 2025, a few days after the Canada Day celebrations that year. In a time of increasing extremes, the world needs more, not less, Canada.
