Eastern Phoebe on a grapevine wire, golden hour, Eastern Ontario. The Phoebe kept an eye on me and then went back to hunting. Edge habitat, 30 feet from the back deck. #EasternPhoebe #WildlifePhotography #NorthernLatitudes

Pulled over near home yesterday for this. Full rainbow arc over Eastern Ontario — sunlight refracting through raindrops at 42°, splitting white light into its components. Physics putting on a free show along a country road. Nikon D7500 | Eastern Ontario northernlatitudes.ca

The mountains swallowed the treeline this morning. Fog, spruce, and the specific silence of a place that was ancient before anyone was around to name it. #Adirondacks | #NorthernLatitudes #NaturePhotography #Boreal

The CRASH Clock just hit 2.5 days. A year ago it was 6.8. I talked with Prof. Samantha Lawler — the astronomer behind the clock — about what's happening in low Earth orbit, why it's happening so fast, and what it would actually take to slow it down. 🎙️ rss.com/podcasts/nor...

I went through a phase of binge-watching Criminal Minds years ago because it was exciting but mindless. There would always be a point in the episode where the suspect would accelerate or spin off into chaos as he lost control, and they would say “He’s devolving.” Anyway, he’s devolving.

After the asteroid killed the dinosaurs, almost every plant vanished. But the very next layer of rock is packed with fern spores. Ferns spread fast, tolerated low light, and stabilized the battered soil. Thanks, Ferns! 🧪 #SciComm
