Another sign of spring! Hope this post works. Video of a meadowlark trilling on our wetlands. Turn up your volume. Such a hopeful song. It was a bit shy so couldn’t get too close. This song woke me every morning as a child living on the prairies. #meadowlark, #spring, #nature, #wetlands,

Meadowlark trilling its song in our wetland park in Saskatoon. It has a black V on its yellow chest.

Jamurrca hot springs, Mexico. Quite the trek up a cobblestone road, past a herd of goats and a field of cattle, with mango orchards surrounding the hills. Beautiful hot pools in a lush park with lots of places to have a picnic. #jamurrca, #mexico, #hotsprings, #lasvaras,

A college of egrets. Apparently there are many names for groups of egrets. Such stately white birds. Here they are complete with reflections in a pond surrounded by greenery. #birds, #egrets, #birdsofmexico,

Quite the full moon tonight, peaking through such interesting clouds. #moon, #clouds, #mexico, #nature, #photography

and another beautiful sunset last night, pinks and bits of blue coated the sky and sea with palm trees waving. #sunset, #mexico, #naturephotography, #nature, #landscapephotography,

Last night’s sunset! Amazing deep pink sky that highlighted the clouds, in our bay, behind palm trees. #sunset, #mexico, #palmtrees, #photography, #redskyatnight, #nature,

I have never seen snow like this. This year our winter is unseasonably warm and dry. Instead of several feet of snow there are patches of these snow crystals. Anyone know the name of this type of snow? #snow, #snowcrystals, #climatechange, #saskatchewan, #canada, #winter

@mike I recently noticed when I go to follow someone that box is blank on their intro screen. How can I change that? #confused

There is nothing like the magic of northernlights in the midst of the forest. The sky is alive with green flowing light with the stars twinkling through. #candlelake, #northernlights, #saskatchewan, #canada, #BorealForest

The clouds and wind rolled in bringing spectacular moody skies. And then the rain finally came. Pink gerbers show off the droplets. #thunderstorm, #clouds, #sask, #gerbers, #raindrops

#butterfies at #theleaf in Winnipeg Manitoba. Beautiful creatures from Costa Rica. Blue morph, green, orange and tiger striped beauties. Fluttering about and a bit hard to photograph but worth it!

Enjoyed the synchronization of these 3 pelicans as they dive together while fishing at the wier in Saskatoon today.

The greening has finally begun here in lakeland country in Sask. Aspen are leafing out, birds singing gloriously, grouse strutting, bees and bugs abound. I luv this season of hope and new beginnings.

#introduction
Hello again! I am a not-so-tech-savy almost retired counsellor who has been on another server since December after leaving wacky twitter-land.
Looking to connect with Canadians, prairie folk (Saskatchewan settler) and Saskatoon people. I love nature, photography, gardening, music, traveling, grandchildren and justice oriented politics. Grateful to be an ally living on Treaty 6 and homeland of the Metis.
Appreciate any boosts as I restart!
