For the next couple of days we will be travelling in the area Tom Thomson, the outstanding Canadian painter, worked and travelled in. I’ll post photos if I take any good ones! Today’s Canadian painting is “The Pool” painted by Tom Thomson in 1915-16.

So very sad to lose the serene but ever-determined Jane Goodall, one of my great heroes.
Such a champion - for our nearest relative the chimpanzee, for women in science and for the planet.
What an example to us all. 🌏✌️
