Just switched up my Mastodon banner for a muddy, dusty Edmonton spring. Gone are the snow-covered evergreens - and in their place, a statue of Canadian icons, Bob and Doug McKenzie, which stands - or rather sits - in downtown Edmonton. It seems the right image for the moment. #yeg #yegdt #Edmonton #BobandDoug #TakeOffEh

Urban Rabbits — Shot on film, digitally edited to remove an unsightly gas pipe. These little buddies weren't skittish at all and stuck around with enough time to take a bunch of photos, this one was my favourite of the set.

I seem to be going to #Edmonton this May for a wedding. Will #Canada let me in, & will the #USA let me back?

Striations (2022)

I had just barely moved back to the #Edmonton area for a short work stint, and my sister and I already had made backpacking plans. We headed off into a lesser known area of the #CanadianRockies to explore an old route the settlers used to traverse the area. This #Mountain - the Sphinx as I came to know it - towered over the valley as we hiked the meadows. A wonderful welcome back to #Alberta

Third winter is upon us!

Earlier this month, I had a chat with Edmonton based American expat author & journalist Debby Waldman. She has a mostly US audience and doesn’t often write about politics.
