Sneak peak at my progress. There is alot of texture in this one. I'm having a great time capturing video of the animals and plants in the park next to me. Then representing them in my artwork.

Watch me running away from something towards the end of the video! 😅🤣
Another pleasurable walk: fog, mosquitoes, coyotes, geese, crows, pelicans, orbs and allergies!

I had an interesting few days.
I found this baby robin in the middle of the path on the bird sanctuary island. The nest was too high for me to return it, so I phoned the wildlife refuge hotline. They said to make a nest and tie it on a branch near the other one.
Here are the instructions.
- Margarine container or small plastic container with many holes poked into the bottom
Small Bungee cords or rope
Grass, small sticks, natural materials (if the nest is still in the tree
Makeshift Nest
Directions: poke holes into the bottom of the container so water can drain out during rain Ensure the nest is less than an inch from the top of the container so the birds will be able to climb out when the time comes. Use grass at the bottom of container to raise the nest if needed. Poke holes in the side of the container to attach bungee cords or rope. Secure the container + nest to the same tree it fell out of. Make sure it is sturdy enough it won't fall again.
Tip: time is of the essence! Birds have short memories. The sooner you get them back in the tree, the sooner mom can find them.

In this case the nest was jammed packed with babies and this one was squeezed out.
A wonderful couple came by and helped out.❤️

This National Wildlife Week, we honour the deep responsibility that the Métis Nation carries to protect all our Relations - from the smallest insects to the mighty buffalo.

Guided by the spirit of Wâhkôhtowin - the sacred relationship between all living things - Métis communities are leading the way in conservation. Across the Homeland, Métis-led practices are restoring balance, reconnecting species like bison to the land, and safeguarding the habitats that sustain us all.

Through our Nature Strategy, Guardians Programs, and rights-based conservation work, we are walking in harmony with the land, water, and sky - taking only what we need, and respecting all life through a holistic approach.

Each region brings its own strength: from monitoring wildlife and fish to protecting berries, water, and ice. Métis Guardians are on the land every day, carrying generations of knowledge and responsibility with them. Their work is vital - not only for today, but for the generations still to come.

We invite you to learn more about this important work:
