Wildfire smoke is getting to be a light fog in Vancouver. Measuring pm2.5 in my backyard. I picked this up several years ago when something shifted: wildfire smoke was becoming a common occurrence in the city, lock clockwork.

The wildfire smoke reached us last night, and I gazed up at an angry orange moon. This morning I looked directly at the neon pink-red sun and breathed in air that stung. And our prime minister works to push ever more pipelines through. "Build Canada Strong" as it burns to ash around us.

Horsethief Canyon, Drumheller, Alberta. A composite of foreground and background due to the wind affecting the plant. I try to get everything in one shot when I can, but light was too low for a fast shutter. #photography
I was fooling around with some old equipment and took this photo of the moon when my dog got me up at 3am 😅 600mm + 2x extender + APSC sensor = 1800mm. I think I Looks good small but image quality is truly terrible! #photography
“Claims that wildfires can be prevented by [forest management] are not only inaccurate, but they’re also part of a broader pattern of disinformation in response to climate-fueled extreme weather… deflecting from what experts say is the biggest driver of worsening fires: the rapidly warming climate.”

Coast redwoods top 100 meters, and at that height pulling water up from the roots nearly fails. Their fix: absorb fog straight through their needles. That is why they only grow in California's coastal fog belt. The tallest trees on Earth cheat physics with fog. 🧪 #HowToBuildAGiant #plants

This marmot was super curious, coming close and scampering away, passing behind rocks, and back again. It’s the first time I’ve been able to get this close, and I think it’s because it was mutual curiosity. Did you know marmots hibernate up to 8 months of the year? #photography
They say that bears like to sit and enjoy nature. I suspect all animals do. It’s only humans that make a big fuss about it.

This alpine marmot was super curious. He kept sneaking up on me trying to get my food. After he understood he wasn’t getting any he went and foraged.
Dealing with 40 knot gusts. This is one of those sphincter clenching moments as my tent collapsed on itself and I had to add more guy lines. I should’ve brought my Scarp 1 instead. Less room, bomb proof though.
And the same for authors and books
That feeling when you wakeup in the morning has a name: weltschmer “mental depression or apathy caused by comparison of the actual state of the world with an ideal state” (from the Merriam Webster dictionary)
AI is going to be one of the biggest bait and switch fiascos. Businesses gets hooked and dependent on it. Then the costs go up. Can it be useful? Certainly. A friend asked a simple potent question: “Why do we need it?” I don’t think we do. It’s being pushed. Who controls it?
I’ve started to fool around with solar power, and it’s pretty exciting to see my backup battery charge from the big light in the sky. In British Columbia we have relatively cheap hydroelectricity, so this is more for power outages due to winter storms and potential summer droughts.
I'm more likely to die in a heat dome than to see any personal tangible benefits from expanding Canada's fossil fuel production. Even if I thought I'd see personal benefits, I'd still argue we shouldn't do it, because I understand that the planet and the future of our species are not mine to trash.

2000 metres up but there was no view! Fortunately the rain from past few days provided some beautiful opportunities with the alpine flowers. #photography
My “outdoor office”. Printing my cards and packaging them. I love printing my own work, feeling the photos become tangible. I like the process, selecting the particular paper for the “feel” of it when you hold them.
It’s been brutal seeing this type of news so frequently in the past 10 years in this province. Our new norm. Climate has changed.
