Today is Lumberjack Day! 🪓
I know, this old photo of me is not really me being a lumberjack, it’s me being a happy camper, but there is an axe and a plaid shirt so it’ll have to do. 😄😉
How do you celebrate Lumberjack Day? Well, aside from wearing plaid and walking around with an axe on your shoulder, you could play that old Monty Python song… You can also indulge yourself in a lumberjack breakfast - even if it’s late afternoon.
“Oh, I’m a lumberjack and I’m OK…”

Avast, ye swabs! Today is World Maritime Day - A perfect day to visit a local Maritime Museum. There’s a really good one in Vancouver. If you can, take a tour on a local sailing ship or tour boat.
While you’re at it, maybe stop at a local seafood restaurant and indulge your tastes for fish, scallops, lobster, crab, prawns – or whatever your favourite dish from the sea is!

Happy National Tree Day!
Every September, on the Wednesday of National Forest Week, National Tree Day is celebrated …a day to honour the beauty, strength, and vital role of trees in our lives.
Took this photo at a place that’s great to go enjoy trees – Pacific Spirit Regional Park, near the UBC campus in Vancouver.

Are you a nemophilist is? Maybe you enjoy psithurism?
The first is someone who enjoys and loves the forest and woods in the beauty and solitude they offer. The second refers to the experience of listening to the sound of a soft wind rustling leaves in the forest.
Both are good terms to know during National Forest Week in Canada, running from the 21st to the 27th.
It’s a good week to learn all about forests in Canada : their significance to our culture, our history, and our future.
The images featured here include shots of people working in the forest (yes there are a couple of me there) as well as a couple of my favourite forest shots.

Happy Autumnal Equinox!
Fall has long been my favourite season of the year for many different reasons, not the least of which is the fall colours that start to come out on the leaves.
Cooler weather that’s not too cold, lack of flying insects that want to bite you, and a little bit slower pace are among the others.

Today is .
A day to focus on the ongoing efforts to conserve endangered wild animals. That encompasses birds, mammals, reptiles, fish, marine mammals and insects.
we are all responsible at some level to help preserve our natural heritage for future generations. I took the wildlife images featured here in British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario.

Today is Jimmy Buffett Day! A day to remember and celebrate The head Coral Re**er who passed away in 2023.
i’ve always considered myself a parrot head (in more ways than one!) and I was fortunate enough to be able to see him play in concert in Vancouver a few years before he passed away.
So sit back, slug some a rum drinks down or sip a cold draft beer, maybe munch on a cheeseburger in Paradise.

Today is World Lakes Day.
The best way to celebrate this day is to enjoy some time in the lake. But while we are enjoying it, maybe think about doing things to help save our lakes and keep them pristine. This could include:
* Helping out in a shoreline cleanup
* Planting native vegetation along a lakeshore
* Getting involved with a nature group at seeks to help our lakes, something like or
Organizations like that are always looking for volunteers.

It’s another Tree Tome Tuesday.
This week a whodunit, albeit one I read several years ago.
It’s a cozy mystery revolving around the death of a violinist who climbs up into a tree trying to get publicity aspart of a protest of a local environmentally unfriendly construction project. She ends up taking a fatal spill out of the tree, and it may not have been an accident.
I don’t remember much about the book other than I did finish it and I gave it a three-star rating out of five on Goodreads. For me, that’s not a bad score, since I rarely give five out of five.
