There’s a great new used bookstore on Duckworth, not sure if you’ve checked it out yet. Collected Pulp. Prices are very reasonable.

OneGiantHand comic in which Donkey Kong is discouraged from pursuing a literary career.
(Thank you for reminding me about my favourite comic of all time)

You mixin’ up Al Purdy and Al Pittman?
Probably just @cowtoolsdaily.bsky.social escaping its containment field
Filibus, a silent sci-fi adventure film from 1915, is super fun and surprisingly contemporary. Filibus is a gender-bending sky pirate who lives in an airship and gleefully outwits snooty millionaires! Duotone tinting and slightly damaged film add to the dreaminess.

A watercolour painting of a red accordion, with a green-blue floral pattern background.
I made this little watercolour of an accordion for Eastern Edge's annual Fare & Square fundraiser! The event takes place at the Alt Hotel in St. John’s on December 7, and everyone who buys a ticket gets to take home an artwork. See easternedge.ca for details.
TFW everyone thinks you're a novelty pizza but you're secretly a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy
Dappled light shining through two red berries on a small plant, the camera peering closely across the forest floor.
A little dose of light in Beaches Path, Witless Bay, Newfoundland.
Steam from a pot glowing in sunlight from a nearby window.
Steam and sunlight
A field of deep pink fireweed absorbing a wooden fence.
The fireweed on the Bonavista peninsula is pretty epic right now. #newfoundlandandlabrador
A gull perching on a plastic owl meant to scare away gulls, on a rooftop in Newfoundland, with the ocean in the background.
Of course this happens on the one day I don’t bring my good camera with me.
A seal lying on a seaweed-covered shoreline, peering back at the photographer over its shoulder, if seals had shoulders.
A hefty-looking seal relaxing on a slab of rock by the ocean.
A couple of seals encountered on the southern Avalon, Newfoundland. These were taken with a 300mm lens and then cropped quite a bit. I only got a telephoto lens a few months ago and it's been really fun to revisit places and see them with more telescopic eyes.
I love Escher's puddles! Someone has added a grey circle to this one, it's not part of the original image.
Dewberries, bulbous bright red berries that look a bit like raspberries.
A handful of bright red dewberries.
A handful of bakeapples, which are peach-orange coloured and bumpy.
A handful of wild haskaps, small dark blue oval-shaped herries.
I feel like I levelled up in foraging this past week. I've picked bakeapples before, but never dewberries or wild haskaps! We also found a few creeping snowberries, but I forgot to get a photo. #newfoundland #foraging
Close-up photo of a sundew plant in Newfoundland. The plant is insectivorous and has a green center with red spines covered in sticky drops which attract and trap small insects.
I snapped this sundew yesterday on Newfoundland’s southern Avalon peninsula. It’s insectivorous! The sticky drops attract small insects that are dissolved by the plant’s enzymes. This one has a bit of fly stuck in its teeth.

A black fox standing on a rocky hill, almost silhouetted against a bright blue sky.
Another recent fox encounter on the hill trail. #newfoundland #wildlife #photography
A triangular traffic island photographed from above, with slanting shadows created by early morning light.
From a series of photos of traffic islands that I made while living in Halifax back in 2006-2008.
A hillside trail in deep blue shadow, with two hikers silhouetted in the distance. In the background is a port city glowing in warm evening light.
A large day on the hill trail. #northheadtrail #newfoundland #parkscanada #photography
A black fox stands on a wooden staircase on a walking trail, peering back at the photographer as if assessing his possible value as a source of protein.
Fox encounter on Signal Hill yesterday.
A pile of tires at a dock, partially covered in snow so that the tires create black circular patterns against the white expanse.
Snow tires, St. John's. #photography
A cobblestone street at night, rounded stones shining bright red from the taillights of a passing car.
Tallinn, Estonia. #photography
A small songbird bird perched on a wire fence, with out-of-focus cherry blossoms creating a colourful dappled background.
Found this little pal while photographing cherry blossoms in Montreal a few years ago. #montreal #photography #streetphotography
A view of St. John’s Harbour from Signal Hill, Newfoundland. A bit of snow along the edges of a walking path. The city sprawling along the sides of the harbour. A gold-tinged lens flare.
A walk on Signal Hill a few weeks ago. #newfoundland #photography #landscapephotography
An almost abstract image, looking down into the waters of a port, with the hulls of boats reflected as looming shadows, bright orange floats dangling upside-down, and a flurried blur of bird.
Port de Grave yesterday. #newfoundland #photography #landscapephotography #abstraction
A cardboard box with a cat standing in it. The photo has a kind of fish-eye effect so the cat’s body looms large at the top of the image.
My package arrived. #catscatscats
Wild rose hips in winter, photographed barely in focus so they are almost abstract, a blur of red and pastel purple hues.
Seeing softly on a squishy springish walk. #walking #photography #vintagelens
A retro-looking film photo of a snowy street in downtown St. John’s, car tracks curving into the distance.
A snowy St. John’s film snap from yesterwinter. #nlwx #35mm #filmisnotdead #filmphotography
Ha! To be fair, this poor reader was looking for a mystery to solve, so at least now they have one
