Tradiční Tišnovská 50, letos pouze příjemných 19km, ale zase s nádherným počasím.

A new “continuous sidewalk” in #Kitchener. The design differs from regular sidewalks in that it doesn’t dip down to road level at intersections. It continues at an uninterrupted height. This slows cars turning onto the street + reinforces pedestrian priority through the intersections. Same at the driveways, so you don’t get the up-down “roller coaster effect” when you’re #walking, #cycling or using a wheelchair.

A cyclist rides in a designated bike lane alongside a road with cars. The sky is overcast, and houses with lawns line the street.
Street corner with a stop sign, bike lane, and crosswalk near a grassy area and large trees. Utility poles and power lines are visible, with cloudy skies overhead.
A freshly paved residential street with new sidewalks, young trees planted along the walkway, houses with gardens on the right side, and power lines overhead.
A suburban street with a sidewalk and grassy verge. Residential houses, cars, and utility poles are visible, along with trees and a building in the background under an overcast sky.

Oedemera nobilis, thick legged flower beetle. Idk they looked like rainbow pantaloons to me.

Close up of a dark green oil sheened insect among the white petals of a wild morning glory. Like a small fashionable bug on its way to a ball at the ivory staircase of a palace. The white folds of flower and stamen, clean and structured.

In the last days of 2023, I embarked on a hiking journey to the Canary Islands.
Renowned as a destination for tourists and beachgoers, these islands are also a heaven for hikers, and boast an array of diverse ecosystems, from coastal dunes to pine forests to volcanic terrains.
My journey took me along the #GR131 route traversing #Tenerife and #GranCanaria.

A sunset in a high altitude pine forest. Small clouds ripple in the skies, lit by orange rays from above. A number of tall pine trees rise from the ground, obscuring the sky and the setting sun with the clusters of their dark needles.
A panorama of mountain ranges stretching to the horizon under a clear blue sky. Some green trees and bushes in the foreground, while multiple mountain range and continue one beyond another.
Mountain Teide dominates the landscape of the island of Tenerife. Its perfect conical shape sits in the middle of the picture, under a slight ripple of high altitude clouds on otherwise clear skies. The terrain around and below the mountain resembles a giant bowl covered with the sparse desert vegetation.
An evening panorama of an evening desert landscape. The sun just set on the left side of the picture, while the moon has just risen on the right. The ground and the sea are list by the rays from both directions, giving them a feeling of unreality. The street lights from the distant towns further away, add a few more dots and lines to the overall picture.

#introduction

I'm Allison, a freelance copyeditor (and sometimes writer & artist) hoping to connect with international comrades who share my enthusiasm for speculative fiction, mountains, disability justice, and ecosocialism.

We might get along if

- you're still wearing PPE,
- you have a favorite plant (bonus points if you wear it as a tattoo),
- you like The Expanse despite its being on Amazon, and/or
- Bernie 2016 broke your heart.

Hope to meet a lot of new folks soon. Glad to be here!

P.S. I'm also going to keep an eye out for

A photograph of a blooming wild lupine plant alongside a narrow dirt trail on a sunny day. The bushy plant has bright-green palmately compound leaves and multiple tall flower spires of budding blossoms in shades of soft purple.
