Coltsfoot Inflorescence, originally uploaded by Gavatron.
Ollie and I were out in Nordheimer Ravine yesterday and we saw that the Coltsfoot was in flower. I didn’t have my camera with me, so we returned there today.
No, no, ‘e’s uh,…he’s resting, originally uploaded by Gavatron.
Seen on St. George Street. Sorry if this burns your eyes.
A screen-grab of a Major League Baseball headline today:
On purpose? Innocent mistake? You’ve gotta think they knew what they were doing with this headline.
Ants and Aphids, originally uploaded by furryscaly.
A neat photograph of some species of Citronella Ant (Acanthomyops sp.) “farming” Aphids or Mealybugs (both Hemipterans).
The hemipteran insects feed on the roots of plants and exude a sugary substance called honeydew that the ants then feed on.
This photograph was included today in weekly feature on BlogTO, whose name should tip you off as a local blog.
I’ve commented further on the photo there. I think it’s an interesting photograph because the subject is surprising rather than being a particularly good photograph.
The fur is dead. Long live the fur!,

Ollie is a new dog, now that we’ve finished stripping him.
About me
I am an education researcher and practitioner, with a focus on higher education and the environment. I consider myself, above all, a naturalist. I'm the pack-mate of two border terriers. I live within the Speed River Watershed in Guelph, Ontario. I enjoy photography. I lead nature tours across North America. I teach courses on Natural History. I likely spend too much time on the Internet.
Oh, and the opinions expressed here are wholly my own.
