Nearby Nature Project 22/

On June 27, 2024January 28, 2025 By GeoKsIn Health and Wellness1 Comment

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!

With spring migratory season well underway, it follows that this edition of Nearby Nature Project features a lot of bird photographs. I also touch on the start of the 2024 gardening season and the recently announced ban on private water craft in some of Canada's National Parks.

Falklands, South Georgia and Antarctic Peninsula Expedition Cruise – Final Thoughts

On January 26, 2024January 26, 2024 By GeoKsIn Antarctica, Argentina, Falklands/Malvinas, South Georgia6 Comments

In this final look back at our expedition cruise to the Antarctic Peninsula, South Georgia and Falkland Islands, I consider lessons learned, things I want to keep in mind for future travel and share what I think makes an expedition cruise an actual expedition experience.

Despite the ever-changing challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, we enjoyed some holly jolly experiences this December: family time, good food, lots of walks and Lego building!
