Tonight's blood moon over Newfoundland, taken from my phone during my night shift. Sometimes it's worth it to stay up all night! #lunareclipse

More iceberg photos 😊 I've never seen a berg this early in the season before. It feels good to get out and explore the frozen headlands.

Between two weather systems, a clear Thursday view of the island from MODIS. Looks quite white.

No there's for sure enough snow at this point. Pretty deep in places too. But later this week may be a different story...

Little Boreal Owl attracted to some movement under the snow at the bird feeder at dusk.

Hey all!!! This little Boreal Owl was attracted to some movement under the snow by the bird feeders. Taken at dusk as sun was almost gone:)

The wind carves wave-like patterns in the snow over a frozen marsh.

Waves of the frozen variety...

These cold, windless winter evenings have been few and far between. Grateful for the noticeably longer days ❀️

Être heureux, généreux et bienveillant est un acte de résistance envers tous ceux qui capitalisent sur notre colère et notre peur. Aimer son prochain, lui ouvrir les bras et refuser la haine sont des gestes révolutionnaires dans la société d'aujourd'hui.

Vive la révolution. ❀️

Low-angled winter sun, clouds racing overhead. Feeling nostalgic for a reason I can't name...

Awesome! I lived in NB for a couple years and hiked extensively in Eastern Canada, so always feel free to ask if you ever run out of ideas :)

Yeah, I doubt I will get the 5mm of rain forecasted for "north and east of Lewisporte" haha. No complaints!

Splendid morning after the snowfall. No rain, either. It breaks my heart that this will all be melted by Thursday 😒

Lakes are frozen, rivers still flow. Tomorrow, all will be covered in fresh snow ☺️
