Better living through chemistry, originally uploaded by Gavatron.
I’ve lived with a saltwater aquarium for the past two-ish years now, ever since Heather moved into the apartment. To this point, I’ve been pretty hands off the whole endeavour, not because I wasn’t interested, but because of the steep learning [...]
Ollie & Muffet race at the BTCO Fun Day, originally uploaded by Gavatron.
Today was the 2007 running of the Border Terriers at the BTCO’s annual fun day. What a blast. Ollie had a great time going after terrified rats, racing with other BTs [...]

Spreadwing, originally uploaded by Gavatron.
This is a Spreadwing Damselfly, a close relative to the familiar Dragonfly. There are other kinds of Damselflies, but I have seen very few Spreadwings in my time looking at insects. It’s quite delicate and beautiful, IMHO.

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.
