Visuals of some local, suburban efforts in . Much of the area has been heavily developed. There's lots of fab rewilding work being done in some areas - almost all due to local volunteers/nature stewards & kind donations from public.

The efforts have paid off, after several decades of community volunteer efforts. Many wildlife & pollinators have safer habitat to live in. There's enough food for them to share in rewilded areas.

Rewilded with lots of tall grasses & wildflowers with a tiny footpath going through a natural arched tunnel-like area, leading to another rewilded meadow.

& growing off a tree. Lichen looks like hammered shield lichen but I'm not totally sure. I don't know what type of mosses these are. There's lots of fallen, tiny, soap berry petals on them.

@loren Have you seen them swim? They are so cute in water! They stick their little heads up, like a submarine scope!

@loren I saw some in a large puddle doing that, near my brother's place up island. So adorable!

I'm picking up a few small blank canvases next week. Part of the plans to encourage my Mom to explore more of her creative energies. I'm going to take her to a few pretty nature places & we can do some sketching & painting together 🥰🎨🖌

Also getting Mom her first sketchbook 💖

@EllenInEdmonton I used to source many supplies from there. ATM, can only afford cheap supplies. I can probably afford 2 easels by August or September.

Look who just decided to show up in our backyard, this afternoon!!!!

A very handsome, mature & inquisitive . He was perched up in a tree, near our old, rusting swing set. Stayed there for about 10 minutes before taking off. He was pretty close! This is from my Samsung Galaxy 10 camera phone.

Mom was discharged, after she was stabilized, post day surgery/liver biopsy. She's going to rest in bed for rest of day when we get home. No strenuous physical activity for one week.

I had to ask almost all hospital medical staff, working with us today, to please put their masks on before coming near us. My handmarked mask helped with having no pushback on my mandatory mask-up request. Everyone I asked, stared at it, before grabbing masks & putting them on.

Selfie with me & Mom. She's in hospital bed, covered in blankets & has white face mask on. I'm in left corner wearing white face mask with marker text that reads: Covid Killed My Dad

They should all mask up in hospitals. For everyone's safety, including their own.

In our several hours at today, I saw over 50 completely incapacitated/unconscious very elderly patients - wheeled in/out of surgery rooms by people with no masks on. They had no choice to protect their own health by staff who should know better. ATM - Hospitals, & their many unmasked staff, are playing Russian Roulette, on patients who cannot speak or advocate for themselves.

We didn't find the nest of these Pacific wrens, but they mush have fledged that day. the little ones were not good at flying.
Mom kept trying to feed them a spider, but none of them wanted it.

Pacific Wren Fledglings. they have yellow beaks and look grumpy. both are standing on a branch waiting.
a Pacific Wren standing on a vertical branch with the sun just hitting his head. He has a very short vertical tail. I imagine he recently lost feathers there.
Mama Pacific wren tries to feed her chick a spider. but the chick doesn't want it. they are both standing on a small branch. just above the forest floor.
