Show and Tell

With modern standards this winter has been unusually cold, something I cherish and have spent lots of time outdoors to try and capture.

I've shared lots of images on show-tell which seems to be enjoyed by many, if it's of interest I could prepare a presentation on photography to hold sometime.

this semester i’m taking a plant bio class and it has a lab in which we’ve been doing plant cuttings and exploring the greenhouse! i’m sharing photos of my cuttings and some cool greenhouse finds! in the lab we’re doing a research project on Arabidopsis thaliana (thale cress) as well! YAY SCIENCE!

Last Summer I started going on walks in the forest behind my place to work on some mental issues. Hearing everyone on stream talk about bugs got me into building little Ecosystems with local plants and bugs! I can't wait for spring to come around!!

It's my first time sharing on Show and Tell and I thought I'd share some cool birbs and wildlife I've seen on a few of my recent long runs. I've been wanting to get into learning the species of bird names and soon I'm going to get a little bird book that I can take on my runs.

In case of loss of power (another snowstorm) I had pulled out a bucket to fill with water. First Camden filled it with himself and then he used it as a duck pond. Also spotted a gull out enjoying the incredibly cold day and a random valentine in a tree (card or cat)

Recently have been trying to get out in nature more and enjoy the scenery despite the snow and cold weather. While doing that, I came across these friends :)

After visiting Quebec City, I made sure to fly out of Montreal, solely so I could finally visit their Insectarium! I had wanted to visit since I was a kid, and it didn't disappoint. The exhibits took an artistic approach to introducing people to insects, and the staff was very passionate.

A year ago, if you remember, I got two feeder roaches to keep as pets. Now with a new female, (Holly did not survive her first pregnancy and neither did the babies), and some new males I finally have my first batch of baby roaches! I am so excited! Here they are!

I think I've ran out of title ideas, but here are some finds from two hikes I took back in August. Eventually I'll catch up sharing my photos.

Blooms, bugs, birds, and lizards.
