While there are many sticks in the world,
These sticks are mine.

Disgraceful.
A post different from pictures of dogs and of pretty landscapes.
Near the end of our visit to Ripley’s Aquarium Canada this exhibit appeared overhead.
I thought ‘What the heck?’ Then I saw and read the description.
Every. Four. Minutes. What time period this covered was not mentioned. Nonetheless not only is the number of bottles apparently not recycled a disgrace. The incredibly widespread consumption (due to induced demand) of bottled water is all the more disgraceful. Why?
Perfectly good and safe water flows out of taps. If tap water is a concern many filtration systems are available, from whole house size down to water bottle. Bottling companies pay licencing authorities (very tiny) fractions of a cent per liter to exploit the resource. And the companies bear no direct responsibility to dispose of the waste bottles they generate.
You will not find bottled water in our home.
Perspective
A few days ago I posted a photo of a shark. This photo gives you a different perspective of how close visitors are.
Come on!
Throw the ball!
Yes, it is a shark.
Yes, it is a shark. Yes, I am beneath it. Yes, I am only a few feet away from it. Faye and I recently visited Toronto and went to Ripley’s Aquarium. Dangerous Lagoon features a tunnel through a fascinating exhibit. I could have easily filled the camera’s memory card.
Landscape
A standing birds’ eye perspective of the icy landscape that was the front yard a few days ago.
Bird bath
Despite a day of freezing rain, sleet, and rain, four bathing Pine Siskins are joined by an American Goldfinch.
Brilliant
This brilliant African Violet thrives in our east facing kitchen window.
For assistance . . .
. . . I contacted CoCoRaHS to replace this rain gauge funnel, after Lucy turned it into a chew toy.
View
