The Star of Spring aka white fawn lily (Erythronium). Currently in bloom on Vancouver Island.

#BloomScrolling - I offer you a pink fawn lily (Erythronium revolutum) because we all need a little bit of colour in our lives.

#BloomScrolling - Western trilliums (Trillium ovatum) are blooming on Vancouver Island. I photographed that one a few days ago in a second-growth forest. We had light rain at the time.

STOP posing as "Vancouver's Jewish community". You're not.
You exclude the many, many Jews who oppose Israel's #genocide.

I've finally managed to photograph my first orchid. As I was walking in the woods, daydreaming as usual, little bright pink dots caught my attention. There were five fairy slipper (Calypso bulbosa) growing on a bed of moss ready to be photographed. This is the first time that I see orchids in a forest. (Vertical photo: open to see in full).

#BloomScrolling It has been raining all day in my corner of the planet so here's a colourful flower called Jeffrey's shootingstar aka Sierra shootingstar aka tall mountain shootingstar (Dodecatheon jeffreyi).

Hello all, please consider signing this petition to pressure the Conservative Party of Canada to drop Aaron Gunn as the North-Island--Powell-River riding.

> A residential school apologist with a history of sexist and transphobic positions is running for the Conservatives in North Island—Powell River — and the polls have him in the lead.

Even if you get through the US border doesn’t mean you won’t get harassed down there.

One couple, asian, we know was stop and searched three times.

A lesbian couple we know has been going to Arizona for years but just returned saying they were harassed for being Canadian.

Hate directed at all these neighbours because, maybe, they have #BritishColumbia car plates.

Either be very careful in the US or don’t go until it’s safer.
