An Eastern carpenter bee. Those extra bumps between the compound eyes are more eyes!

Called ocelli, they are simple eyes with only one lens. Cool right? What does the world look like to them?

I found this male long horned bee resting on a false sunflower on a cool morning. The male bees rest on blooms because they don't have a nest to return to. I think its a sunflower long horned bee specifically

Staples (🇺🇸) is now open for some ON teachers. How do prices stack up against the TDSB supply centre for classroom basics?

TDSB: $290.38
Staples: $668.98
Staples Teachers: $584.56

But Paul Calandra took over the TDSB claiming financial mismanagement and Doug Ford wants you to #BuyCanadian.

One of my constant challenges is translating my vision to reality when my subject has its own agenda.

I'm learning to let go of missed opportunities and focus on creating more of them.

Since we're renaming things I have decided to end the inaccurate "American Robin" and will instead refer to it as a canadian red-breasted thrush.

Sometimes I chase dragonflies with my lens. It's good practice and a lot of fun. It's also very hard, and almost never works out.

I think this is a common bluet.

Female American redstarts are not as bright as the males. I find them fun to encounter. In my experience, they're quiet and elusive. They come quite close but manage to avoid notice.
