Ohhhh… ya, no. Indigenous people have been living here for over 10,000 years. Those who came over on boats are immigrants… colonists.

Whoa.

Looking through the trees at an orange coloured setting sun. The leaves are a vibrant green and the trunks are backlit/dark.

Bright orange tiny flowers bunched together. Orange variety of butterfly milkweed.

A faded field, with a few stems of black eyed Susan flowers in the foreground

Looking down a path through the woods, there is a canopy of bright green leaves overhead.

Get outside 💚

Three white flowers. There is a bee (I think it’s a bee) facing downward in the middle flower.

Backlit milkweed flowers with a field behind them.

A densely wooded area. The sun is behind the trees and is shining through

A Blue Indigo Bunting sitting on a branch. Its beak is open.

Lots of flowers and lots of bugs 🦟

Ontario takes over four school boards, citing financial concerns Decision to take control of boards in Toronto, Ottawa stems from concerns over large deficits, fiscal mismanagement, province says

Is "financial mismanagement" really a problem at so many Ontario school boards? Or is there maybe not enough money to manage coming in from the province? www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

We will believe the worst kind of myths about the people we’ve already decided not to love.

A person walks down a path through the woods.

A yellow buttercup facing downwards with rain on it.

A bed of lily of the valley leaves on the forest floor, they’re covered with rain drops.

A snail making its way down the side of a moss covered tree. Close up of the snail.

After the rain 🌧️ 💚🌱 🐌 #NaturePhotography

A path through the grass, there are lush looking trees on the right and purple flowers under the trees.

White blooms (multi-flora rose I think), with a dark background.

A young deer stands in a newly planted corn field. It’s looking straight at the camera.

Purple phlox flowers and yellow buttercups in the woods. A close up of the flowers.

It’s been a while since I’ve been outside. Nice to breathe. #GetOutside #NaturePhotography

Two rabbits laying in the grass.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen rabbits lounging before 😂.

"The Holy Spirit opens borders, first of all, in our hearts. He is the gift that opens our lives to love. His presence breaks down our hardness of heart, our narrowness of mind, our selfishness, the fears that enchain us and the narcissism that makes us think only of ourselves (6-8-25)." #PopeLeoXIV
