Oh, this old thing? Just some light iridescence for a casual morning forage. I’m basically a walking oil slick with a better agent. πŸ¦β€β¬›πŸͺΆπŸŒΏπŸ¦‰πŸ

We’re slowly starting to see a few birds returning for the summer and my favourite has already arrived!
This is our friend crow. She injured her wing a few years ago so it droops. We’re never sure if she’ll make it back, but here she is!
Welcome back crow!

Open version of my Globe op-ed on the US strategy to counter data sovereignty efforts worldwide, including in Canada. The U.S. CLOUD Act asserts jurisdiction over data wherever stored. Responses based on sovereign AI initiatives are labelled as a trade barrier.

Today, our country remembers the Battle of Vimy Ridge that began on April 9, 1917.

The Canadian National Vimy Memorial will appear on the vertical $20 bill coming out in early 2027 as a tribute to Canada’s contributions and sacrifices in military conflicts throughout its history.

Eurasian Otter (Lutra lutra): This European and Asian semi-aquatic mammal feeds mainly on fish, but amphibians and ducklings are also taken. Terrific photo taken by Dan Lowth in Andover, UK. #otter #nature #andover #eurasianotter #lutralutra #otters #wildlifephotography #wildlife #aquatic #bluesky

Dear driver behind me: Why do I ride in the middle of the lane?

🚴So you don't pass and then right hook me
πŸš΄β€β™€οΈSo you don't block me from turning left
πŸš΄β€β™‚οΈIf cars are parallel parked on the right, so I don't get doored
πŸš΄β€β™‚οΈIf cars are parked nose in, so I don't get backed into

Oh great. I thought these were only out west.

Cougars (Puma concolor) are present in Ontario, with both northern wilderness populations and sporadic sightings in the south, such as in Cannington.

Rarely spotted but yikes just the same. Est. 850 in the province.

Despite those tweaks, the odds of winning the jackpot remain largely unchanged, shifting from about one in 33.3 million to one in 33.4 million per ticket.

Experimental Random Show of Slides from my Good Friday PhotoRide at Colonel Samuel Smith Park, Etobicoke, Ontario.

If this doesn't go too badly maybe I'll make it a regular posting feature once a month or something of the sort.

Feedback appreciated -

Excelsior.
