If there’s a single thing that I hope my photos inspire, it’s an appreciation of #trees and the need to protect them, especially in the #urbanforest of our cities.

Mind-blowing fact: There are 3 TRILLION trees on Earth — that's 12 times more trees than stars in the entire Milky Way galaxy! Yet we lose millions every day. One mature tree can absorb ~48 lbs of CO₂ per year and help cool cities by up to 9°F. Plant one. Protect them. The "Wood Wide Web" is rooting for us. Retweet if this blew your mind! #Environment #NatureFacts

It takes nothing to join the crowd It takes everything to stand alone.

We are called "the elderly." But that quiet label hides something most people rarely stop to consider. We are the last living witnesses of a world that no longer exists. Look at us and you might see gray hair, slower steps, and the patience that time teaches. But listen to our story — really listen — and you'll realize something extraordinary. We are the only generation in human history to have lived a fully analog childhood and a fully digital adulthood. That's not a small thing. That's one of the most breathtaking journeys a human being has ever been asked to make. We were born in the 1940s, 50s, and early 60s, into a world still rebuilding from the rubble of World War II. Our toys were marbles and hopscotch and card games at kitchen tables. When the streetlights flickered on, that was it — childhood adventures were over, and it was time to go home. No smartphones. No streaming. No endless scroll. We built our memories in the real world. With scraped knees and laughter echoing down streets and friendships formed face to face. In 1969, we sat in living rooms staring at black-and-white televisions as Neil Armstrong took humanity's first steps on the Moon. Hundreds of thousands of us stood in muddy fields at Woodstock believing — really believing — that music and community could reshape the future. We fell in love to vinyl records spinning on turntables. We waited days, sometimes weeks, for handwritten letters to arrive. We learned patience because information didn't come instantly. Mistakes were fixed with erasers — not a delete button. Then the world transformed. Machines that once filled entire rooms shrank to devices lighter than a paperback. We went from rotary phones and party lines to seeing the face of someone we love on the other side of the ocean — instantly, on something that fits in a pocket. We watched the birth of the personal computer. The arrival of the internet. The smartphone. Artificial intelligence. And through every single shift — we adapted. Not because it was easy. Because that's what our generation does. We also carry the weight of history in our bodies. We grew up afraid of polio and tuberculosis. We watched science defeat them. We witnessed the discovery of the structure of DNA, the decoding of the human genome, the transformation of medicine itself. We survived pandemics across decades — and kept going. Few generations have been asked to absorb so much change in a single lifetime. And through all of it, certain things never changed. We still know the joy of a cold glass of lemonade on a hot afternoon. The taste of vegetables picked straight from a garden. The value of a long conversation that unfolds slowly, without a screen interrupting it. We have celebrated births and mourned losses. Carried the stories of friends who are gone. Watched the world become something our younger selves couldn't have imagined — and found ways to belong in it anyway. We are not relics. We are living bridges between two entirely different worlds. Our memory carries something the modern world needs — proof that progress doesn't have to erase wisdom. That speed doesn't have to replace patience, kindness, or reflection. So when someone calls us elderly, we can smile. Because behind that word is something remarkable. We crossed two centuries. Witnessed eight decades of transformation. Walked from handwritten letters to artificial intelligence — and never lost our sense of what actually matters.

Yet again, the news is so filled with greed, envy, and hate, but outside the window Spring is trying so hard to show us a different path.

The importance of a single tree

Help save us… we’re so important…

There is no amount of money, oil, or gold that is worth more than having bees, trees, and clean water.

Having grown up in a family of Air Canada pilots (father, brothers, nephew, niece training now), the horrific crash at LaGuardia airport strikes very close to home. My deepest, heartfelt condolences to the grieving families of the pilots, and to all those injured. May time and loving support help to heal, and to honour those whom we lost. May we also learn from this tragedy, to make air travel safer for all.

@MadelnCanada Heartbreaking 😥

The pilot who died after the collision on the tarmac at New York's LaGuardia Airport was from Coteau-du-Lac Quebec. He was 30-year-old Antoine Forest. Rest in peace ❤️🇨🇦

Makes lots of sense

Scotland is aiming to be the world's first rewilded country. It's looking to rewild 30% of the country by 2030. We have the solutions. Replenishing and protecting nature is one of them. #ActOnClimate #climate #biodiversity

Please retweet to help Groot find a home #MOLD #WALES #UK - may be able to rehome nationally. Groot is an older German Shepherd mix with a kind, gentle nature ( aged 7) .His eyesight isn’t what it used to be, so he needs a calm, predictable home and would be best with older children who can understand his needs whilst hes ok with most other dogs we feel he would benefit from being an only dog. Groot also has some food allergies but is doing brilliantly on a fish-based diet and will need to stick with it he also has skin issues and currently receives a once weekly bath plus cream applied to his skin the rescue would cover the cost of medication for skin issues. Groot loves a bath and purrs like a kitten when he is being washed. This lovely boy is looking for a quiet home where he can feel safe, comfortable, and loved. He may not be the fastest or bounciest anymore—but he’s full of heart. He cannot walk miles due to a touch of arthritis in his front leg but still enjoys a walk he's looking for his retirement home.
