The Northern Map turtle has a low shell with a serrated rear margin. The shell is brown in colour and has an intricate network of map like yellow lines giving it its name. The feet are large and fully webbed and it is an excellent swimmer.
The Map turtle inhabits large bodies of water in and around the Great Lakes. It has large crushing surface in its mouth that helps it eat its preferred prey of crustaceans and mollusks. Map turtles like to bask on logs and deadfalls but are very wary and flee to the water at the slightest movement.
The status of the Map turtle is listed as special concern both provincially and federally. They are protected from collection and ownership in Ontario under the Fish & Wildlife Conservation Act.

Summit of Whiteface Mountain, Adirondacks, New York.
Map lichens grow very slowly of rocks near mountain summits where the air is cleaner. They grow just 5/8 of an inch in a century!
Day 135/365
I don’t live here exactly, but I don’t live there either. Some days when the sky is grey and heavy and you have to wade through the street, I feel like a little capsule, hermetically sealed into myself. Living inside myself, fortunately this sealed capsule is pushed into by friends and loves, and so, no matter how much of a shell forms around me it has always been broken, over and over through my life, sometimes by me from the inside, sometimes by others from the outside or even from the inside as well.
Finally able to do a post after two days with no power thanks to Irma. Lots still have no power and it's currently 95° out!
I don't know what this room is officially called but it's a little nook right near the Little Mermaid. One of Disney's small but very detailed nooks.
A final instar Map butterfly larva attaches itself to a Stinging Nettle leaf before pupating. The Map is a butterfly of the family Nymphalidae. It is common throughout the lowlands of central and eastern Europe, and is expanding its range in western Europe.

I never much cared for this unit once it was painted up in this scheme. Just about everything WC did turned to gold in my mind except for this beast. The flag unit was much nicer in my opinion but anyway here is 3026 leading 7510 on the OACTI at Soo Yard on February 22, 2001.
Going retro with this shot. This is my first compass. It's an official BSA Silva Pathfinder compass I got when I was a Cub Scout about 1958. The Mineral King quad topographic map shown here is not quite as old. It was printed in 1973, but it is based on 1955 aerial surveys and 1956 field checking of the region.

The outline of our Galaxy, the Milky Way, and of its neighbouring Magellanic Clouds, in an image based on housekeeping data from ESA’s Gaia satellite, indicating the total number of stars detected every second in each of the satellite's fields of view.
Brighter regions indicate higher concentrations of stars, while darker regions correspond to patches of the sky where fewer stars are observed.
The plane of the Milky Way, where most of the Galaxy’s stars reside, is evidently the brightest portion of this image, running horizontally and especially bright at the centre. Darker regions across this broad strip of stars, known as the Galactic Plane, correspond to dense, interstellar clouds of gas and dust that absorb starlight along the line of sight.
The Galactic Plane is the projection on the sky of the Galactic disc, a flattened structure with a diameter of about 100 000 light-years and a vertical height of only 1000 light-years.
Beyond the plane, only a few objects are visible, most notably the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, two dwarf galaxies orbiting the Milky Way, which stand out in the lower right part of the image. A few globular clusters – large assemblies up to millions of stars held together by their mutual gravity – are also sprinkled around the Galactic Plane.
