Mushroom I discovered while out hiking.

It's been such a hot, dry summer there was so little in the way of mushrooms. I was so delighted after a good rain a couple of weeks ago to come across this wonderful mushroom or fungus of some sort. No idea what is is.

Amazing. 😀

Thank you so much, Denise. 🙏

Thank you, Denise. I appreciate this. 🙏

Thank you, Denise. You are very kind. Had some struggles with my mental health this year. But I am getting better. I did get out for a 2 kilometer (about 1.2 mile) run today, First time in a while. 😊🙏

You are welcome, Louise.

You are welcome, Scott.

That is so cool, Christine. 😀

You are very welcome, Kieron. So much beauty is different cultures. Appreciate all that you do.

Quite similar here in Ontario, here. We've had an extremely dry summer. Though we did get some rains in Sept. the hot, dry summer took a toll on the trees. 🌳

You are doing being than me, Denise. I'm having trouble getting out the door these days. 🙌🏃‍♀️

Thank you for the thread. Needs to be spoken. 🙏

This is very disturbing propaganda.

Trees are looking amazing there, Karen. 🌳🍁

Tremendous run, Louise. 👏🏃

A great day, Scott. 😊

I'm from Canada, Emma. So have never seen Manatees. But have always read how gentle they are.

That's such a beautiful mushroom.

They are beautiful.

Knotgrasses look so delicate. Yet growing by a roadside they must be hardy.

That is so beautiful. 🌳

This is so sad, Emma. Protections are there for a reason. 😢

Goodbye Dear Old Friend. I lost a very dear old friend this past spring. I first met my friend back in 1992. My wife and I had just moved to Hillsdale, along with our 7 month old baby. Personally I didn’t know anyone…

🧵1/2...I lost a dear friend 6 months ago. Hoping with eulogy I have written will help me through this grieving process. And give me strength to move forward.

So many benefits from trees. Tree therapy has been a part of my life for decades. I love immersing myself in nature. I only learned this past week while researching for an article that there's a term for it. It's Dendrotherapy from Greek words "Dendron" meaning tree & "therapia" meaning treatment.

The services that trees and forests produce is incredible, They are much more valuable living and breathing than having them destroyed and used as a commodity. 🌳

The Indian Act in Canada, enacted in 1876, imposed severe restrictions on Indigenous cultural practices, including banning powwows, the Sun Dance, and other ceremonies deemed "undesirable" by the government. These prohibitions, enforced until amendments in 1951, were part of a broader assimilative agenda, alongside policies like residential schools. Despite this, Indigenous communities preserved their traditions through clandestine gatherings, passing down songs, dances, and ceremonies in secret. Modern powwows, vibrant celebrations of culture, spirituality, and community, stand as a testament to Indigenous resilience and resistance against cultural erasure. They blend traditional elements—like drumming, regalia, and dances such as the Fancy Dance or Jingle Dress—with contemporary expressions, showcasing both survival and adaptation.

In Canada, the Indian Act prohibited powwows and other cultural expressions between 1876 and 1951. Indigenous communities kept their traditions alive in secret, and modern powwows are a powerful symbol of their survival and resistance.

So wonderful that you found me here, Mark. Thank you for the follow. Thank you so much manning the Catchacoma Forest booth at the Monarch Festival. Great to meet you as well. Being #NationalForestWeek I'm hoping to have the article finished by Friday or Saturday. 🌳😊

You are very welcome, Peter. 😊

You are very welcome. Thank you also for your advocacy. 🌎
