Rice-based agriculture systems in Bihar, northern India.

Sunday morning nature things during my bike ride here in central India.

The beauty of technology - at the Silver Kris Gold Lounge in Singapore - @changiairport.bsky.social #beer

Canada swimming phenomenon!

Enjoyed the @worldaquatics.bsky.social Session World Swimming Championships today!

Thanks @tbtl.net for a great Thon! Listened in from Singapore for the week (starting at 1 am) - and even heard the classic “Bob in the Morning” segment on Wisconsin 106. Good work @lukeburbank.bsky.social @andrewwalsh.bsky.social and @half-bear-half-man Jon Sklaroff!

I think/hope we are getting to the end of this crazy news/meme cycle.

Saturday morning cycling things. #India

Scientists have released the closest images ever taken near the sun, captured by NASA’s Parker Solar Probe flying 3.8 million miles above the solar surface.

Spotted dove interrupting my work day in the best possible way. #ornithology #hyderabad #india (Please excuse my Cameroonian “lost wax” brass figures - representing the Fon and his court.)

Seen while cycling today on the ICRISAT farm. #raptor

Fascinating discussion with Vice Chancellor Nazir Ahmad Ganaie of Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences & Technology of Kashmir regarding Kashmiri #agriculture. We were able to share stories of -40° C cold snaps, massive blizzards & presence of bears - and production of temperate crops!

Made the Global National (Canadian network) news with my #Canada flag image! This week they are featuring international pics in their on-going segment showing how Canadians are celebrating our nation.

Did not count the legs. Poetry in motion.

Happy #CanadaDay!

Pisolithus #fungi

Ganesh.

Happy #InternationalYogaDay! #internationaldayofyoga

In honour of the @bsky.app logo. #butterflies (yes, they should be blue!) #Nature #butterfly This gathering is due to moisture availability at the end of the dry season. Any idea what species?

Strong shadow game. #millipede

Fungi FTW as the monsoon season slowly arrives in central India.

Cows. That is all.

In case #worldbicycleday is a thing. “Changes in latitudes - changes in attitudes” to quote the great poet Jimmy Buffet. Slightly different ambient air temperatures in Edmonton, Canada vs Hyderabad, India!

Beautiful formation at sunset.

Happy #WorldMilkDay! I grew up on a Canadian #dairy farm and as a crop scientist cattle have always been part of the picture. We live in India - home of the #whiterevolution!

Red-naped ibises (and others). #ricepaddy

Amplexus. Toad shenanigans. That grate move shows a lack of awareness of size versus square.

#Oilers are going to the Stanley Cup Final! #Edmonton #StanleyCup @edmontonoilers.bsky.social @oilersnation.bsky.social @cityofedmonton.bsky.social
