the is the largest of the shrinkwood specimens and slabs I sold to my friend Ron, yesterday - he is making some beautiful cabochons and likes the way they are selling - is the third bunch of this type of material he has obtained from me. (shown wet)
Like some three-fingered alien claw, this tree looks more like a giant picking up a boulder for ammunition in a pitched forest battle.
I wouldn't want to the the recipient of that caber toss.
So far, I'm finding the forests of Nova Scotia to be truly enchanting during the summer season.
I can't wait to revisit during the autumn when hopefully that canopy will be glowing gold.
The vlog for this adventure should be out in a few weeks. Till then, enjoy this hand held shot with the 14mm.
Thanks for reading

we had this nuthatch, a chickadee and some chipmunks eating out of our hands at Hogsback Falls. The cardinal looked like he wanted to also be he never landed on the hand.
I went to a woodmill some two years ago and saw a broken mirror lying discarded on the ground. It was in a musty and damp section at the back of a decaying wooden structure choked with planks and pieces of timber. I asked some of the guys there to hold the mirror up to their faces and I took some portrait photos. I finally returned to the sawmill recently (and gave the guys copies of the photos from two years earlier) and I was intrigued to see that the mirror has risen from the ashes and been promoted to pride of place on the wall.

Nice slowworm in my hand. I like these animals :)
Common slowworm (Anguis fragilis) also called a deaf adder, a blindworm is a legless lizard native to Eurasia. These reptiles are mostly active during the twilight and occasionally bask in the sun, but are more often found hiding beneath rocks and logs. They are carnivorous and, because they feed on slugs and worms, they can often be found in long grass and other damp environments. They grow about 50 cm long. The female often has a stripe along the spine and dark sides, while the male may have blue spots dorsally. Juveniles of both sexes are gold with dark brown bellies and sides with a dark stripe along the spine. Slowworms may also shed their tails (autotomy) as a defence mechanism, by breaking one of their tail vertebrae in half. While the tail regrows, it does not reach its original length. In Central Europe, slowworms are active from February to October and then fall into a winter sleep.

Leśny padalec na mojej dłoni. Lubię te sympatyczne zwierzątka :)
Padalec zwyczajny (Anguis fragilis) – gatunek beznogiej jaszczurki z rodziny padalcowatych. Zasięg występowania obejmuje większą część Europy, sięgając Afryki i Azji. Padalec z wyglądu przypomina węża z powodu uwstecznienia kończyn. Przyjmuje różnorodne ubarwienie, na grzbiecie spotyka się zwykle odcienie brązu, na brzuchu czerń u samic i żółtawy deseń u samców. Głowa i ogon są bardzo słabo wyodrębnione od tułowia. Padalec osiąga długość ok. 50 cm. Dwie trzecie tej wartości zajmuje ogon, który może byc odrzucony w razie zagrożenia i potem ponownie odrasta. Gad poluje głównie na ślimaki nagie i dżdżownice, a także owady, zwłaszcza mało ruchliwe. Siedlisko padalca stanowią słoneczne polany, skraje lasów, zarośla czy butwiejące pnie drzew. Preferuje podłoże bogate w kryjówki, pełne splątanej roślinności. W Europie Środkowej padalce są aktywne od lutego do października, a potem zapadają w sen zimowy. W Polsce przebudzenie ze snu zimowego odbywa się w marcu albo w kwietniu. Od 8 października 2014 roku zwierzęta te podlegają w Polsce częściowej ochronie gatunkowej.

Let's put things in "Perspective"
We probably all think that it’s a mess out there now. Hard to discern between what’s a real threat and what is just simple panic and hysteria.
For a small amount of perspective at this moment, imagine you were born in 1900. Many would think that that was a pretty simple time of life. Then on your 14th birthday, World War I starts, and ends on your 18th birthday. 22 million people perish in that war, including many of your friends who volunteered to defend freedom in Europe.
Later in the year, a Spanish Flu epidemic hits the planet and runs until your 20th birthday. 50 million people die from it in those two years. Yes, 50 million.
On your 29th birthday, the Great Depression begins. Unemployment hits 25%, the World GDP drops 27%. That runs until you are 33. The country nearly collapses along with the world economy. If you were lucky, you had a job that paid $300 a year, a dollar a day.
When you turn 39, World War II starts. You aren’t even over the hill yet. And don’t try to catch your breath. If you lived in London England or most of continental Europe, bombing of your neighbourhood, or invasion of your country by foreign soldiers along with their tank and artillery was a daily event. Thousands of Canadian young men joined the army to defend liberty with their lives. Between your 39th and 45th birthday, 75 million people perish in the war.
At 50, the Korean War starts. 5 million perish.
At 55 the Vietnam War begins and doesn’t end for 20 years. 4 million people perish in that conflict.
On your 62nd birthday there is the Cuban Missile Crisis, a tipping point in the Cold War. Life on our planet, as we know it, could have ended. Sensible leaders prevented that from happening.
Now, in 2020, we have the COVID-19 pandemic. Thousands have died; it feels pretty dangerous; and it is!
Now think of everyone on the planet born in 1900. How do you survive all of that? When you were a kid in 1965 and didn’t think your 85 year old grandparent understood how hard school was. And how mean that kid in your class was. Yet they survived through everything listed above.
Perspective is an amazing art. Refined as time goes on, and very very enlightening.
So let’s try and keep things in perspective. Let’s be smart, we are all in this together. Let's help each other out, and we will get through all of this.

Finally something practical and honest from the Head of the Infectious Disease Clinic, University of Maryland, USA: re.Covid19.
1. We may have to live with C19 for months or years. Let's not deny it or panic. Let's not make our lives useless. Let's learn to live with this fact.
2. You can't destroy C19 viruses that have penetrated cell walls, by drinking gallons of hot water - you'll just go to the bathroom more often.
3. Washing hands and maintaining a two-metre physical distance is the best method for your protection.
4. If you don't have a C19 patient at home, there's no need to disinfect the surfaces at your house.
5. Packaged cargo, gas pumps, shopping carts and ATMs do not cause infection. If you Wash your hands, live your life as usual.
6. C19 is not a food infection. It is associated with drops of infection like the ‘flu. There is no demonstrated risk that C19 is transmitted by food.
7. You can lose your sense of smell with a lot of allergies and viral infections. This is only a non-specific symptom of C19.
8. Once at home, you don't need to change your clothes urgently and go shower! Purity is a virtue, paranoia is not!
9. The C19 virus doesn't hang in the air for long. This is a respiratory droplet infection that requires close contact.
10. The air is clean, you can walk through the gardens (just keeping your physical protection distance, through parks.
11. It is sufficient to use normal soap against C19, not antibacterial soap. This is a virus, not a bacteria.
12. You don't have to worry about your food orders. But you can heat it all up in the microwave, if you wish.
13. The chances of bringing C19 home with your shoes is like being struck by lightning twice in a day. I've been working against viruses for 20 years - drop infections don't spread like that!
14. You can't be protected from the virus by taking vinegar, sugarcane juice and ginger! These are for immunity not a cure.
15. Wearing a mask for long periods interferes with your breathing and oxygen levels. Wear it only in crowds.
16. Wearing gloves is also a bad idea; the virus can accumulate into the glove and be easily transmitted if you touch your face. Better just to wash your hands regularly.
Immunity is greatly weakened by always staying in a sterile environment. Even if you eat immunity boosting foods, please go out of your house regularly to any park/beach.
Immunity is increased by EXPOSURE TO PATHOGENS, not by sitting at home and consuming fried/spicy/sugary food and aerated drinks.
Live life sensibly and to the fullest. Be smart and stay informed!

Some said that two of the most beautiful parts of our body are our hands. Hands do not only hold, throw, give and receive things, but also have great ability to express our subtle feelings to others.
Scan your archives, make your choice, and tweet it to @Flickr, adding #TwitterTuesday #Hands. We'll showcase the best ones on the Flickr Blog tomorrow.
