Sifaka, black lemur, giant tortoise and gold dusted day gecko on Nosy Be. The wildlife is incredible. I have a new love for geckos.

Last night was one I will remember for the rest of my life. I am incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to see Dr. Jane Goodall speak live in Halifax. The inspiration she radiates is overwhelmingly powerful.

Back in Nova Scotia. First hike of the Jodrey trail in Blomidon had some pretty vibrant mushies. These little red ones from genus Hygrocybe? Waxcaps, I think.

The ghosts are out on this grey day. Monotropa uniflora. Mycotrophic herbaceous perennial lacking chlorophyll, they utilize mycorrhizal fungi to obtain nutrients from tree roots. #ghostpipe @MUNBotGarden
