Make Your Month a Free For All

On July 1, 2026July 1, 2026 By GeoKsIn Photography1 Comment

Whether chaotic, rule-breaking or simply free in some way or another, this post includes (more than) 5 photos depicting how we make our month a bit of a free for all.

In this edition of Nearby Nature Project, I write about Canada's 2025 wildfire season, link to articles about Nature connectedness and provide an update on my ongoing birding, wildflower, wildlife and gardening Nearby Nature Projects.

This installment of Nearby Nature Project includes a lengthy news feed, a book recommendation, updates on my wildlife-friendly garden (spoiler - it's struggling due to heat / watering restrictions) and a call to action re: Canada's grizzly bears.

This month I've thought about potential effects on nearby nature due to Calgary's water emergency. Also, it's been an okay month for birding, a good month for bear sightings and the start of wildflower season!

July is peak wildflower season in the Canadian Rockies. Enjoy nearby nature while keeping watch for colourful blossoms and pollinators. It's also time for harvesting early crops from our edible garden. And for nipping any garden pests or diseases in the bud.
