All done with this one. Needed a new entryway table since we changed things with the new floor. Made from willow a neighbor cut down. Rough cut with a chainsaw, then made to resemble a table. Just polyurethane over it.

Second survey of the year for the lichen Teloschistes chrysophthalmus, this time on Castle Hill NNR, Brighton, Sussex. They're found on a few Hawthorn trees here.

The photos show how variable the lichen can be. In the top 2 photos the lichen has few apothecia (spore-producing fruits) and a lot of spiky edges called spinules, which make it look like a small fluffy ball from a distance. The bottom photos show the more commonly found bright orange fruits. #LichenSubscribe #lichen #fungi

Nobody's perfect.
If they were, they would smell like coffee or at least French fries.

People seem to be doing an #introduction here. I'll bite.

I'm an EM doc in Calgary, AB who also works in HEMS/Retrieval medicine and is a member of one of our national disaster response teams. I have professional interests in resuscitation, simulation, and disaster medicine.

Outisde of work I enjoy chasing my two kids, playing hockey, having the odd beer, weightlifting in my home gym, Pelotoning, skiing, and the Vancouver Canucks and Detroit Lions.

"Fairy Creek old-growth activists are facing arrest after a logging company won a court order banning blockades defending some of the last tracts of ancient rainforest on southern Vancouver Island."

"But Fairy Creek supporters say the court order only fuels the fight to save the pristine forests and giant trees"

Premier John Hogan, stop allowing permits to cut down ancient, old growth forests in BC.
