Who knew that puffin beaks are fluorescent, or that puffin babies are called, adorably, “pufflings”?
Cheers to writer/photographer Carol Patterson for our latest post - a story from New Brunswick on a plucky seabird that, as Patterson will say, inspires a smile that reaches all the way to her heart.

If you ask us, August is all about finding the water - whether it’s a river, a lake or an ocean.
What watery destinations are you seeking out this summer of 2023?

Thanks for sharing Sarah!
#skycandy"The Lights Of August"
I spent many hours chasing stunning and striking stormy skies today. Here's just one moment over the waters of Lake Huron as the sun beamed glorious rays downward from dark clouds sizzling with pink lightning. The thunder was a constant companion, and the wind swept everything quickly by in dramatic fashion. More to come, but I'm under the weather myself, so I must rest now!

A sweet reminder from the Canadian Space Agency to enjoy the night sky in July!This month is prime time to view our stunning Milky Way Galaxy! 🌌
If you are able to escape the city and skywatch away from city light pollution, you may get the opportunity to view our galaxy’s subtle glow.
The core of our galaxy forms a faint, diagonal band of light toward the south as soon as it's fully dark.

Today at Moraine Lake in Banff National Park. Always worth a visit (best by bike!) to see these jade-au-lait waters - especially this time of year, after the ice is gone but before the summer crowds. ... See MoreSee Less
“If the ocean and the rocks could put their heads together to design a cathedral built from wood, this inn would be it.
“If the future and the past collided - bam! - and here and now took shape before your eyes, this is what it would look like.”
Given that Canada’s extraordinary Fogo Island Inn turns ten this week, we thought we should re-post this gorgeous little story from our travelling poet Lorna Crozier.
Happy Birthday Fogo Island Inn!

On the heels of Earth Day 2023 (and given that our sky is full of migrating Canada Geese!), we thought we’d share this wonderful poem by Pulitzer Prize winning writer Mary Oliver. We hope you enjoy. #earthday2023Happy Earth Day from Mary Oliver's publishers! There is no better way to celebrate than by being outdoors, reading Mary's poetry. May you have the time to do so today! ... See MoreSee Less

The #Webb Space Telescope continues to peer deep into the cosmos! Earendel is the farthest star ever detected. It is twice as hot as the Sun, and about a million times more luminous. 🤩

We had an awesome day today, just over 100 visitors, thanks to everyone for stopping by, and thanks to the Ulnooweg Ocean Camp for Mi'kmaq youth group for visiting....I really enjoyed all the interesting questions.
(Thanks Vinnie)
"It may not be luxurious (more like a living museum or testament to the enthusiasm and stamina of early mountaineers), but it’s the most comfortable way to see the area."
