A pretty bad photo of a bald eagle perched high in a just-budding poplar tree.
A photograph of an original piece of artwork by Nancy Lindquist, depicting a coyote. Nancy creates mosaics, using different types of fabric and then uses a heat press to transfer the dies onto interfacing then she mounts the image. The coyotes face is made up of different types of patterns artfully arranged to create a detailed image. The coyote has a soulful, calm expression, and is set against a multicoloured background with a sunburst pattern, in rich earth tones with pops of sky blue and turquoise.
A photograph of an egg carton open, revealing a dozen multicoloured eggs in hues of brown turquoise, light blue, and olive.
An ad for Canadian blood services that reads “giving blood feels like” and then has a picture of celebrating women. Honestly, the ad is giving ‘women eating salad’. No one is THAT excited, celebrating in a big crowd, after giving blood.

Matt Berninger, dressed in a black slim cut suit, black Chelsea boots, and black shirt holds a microphone and strides across the stage during a concert, dripping anxious-cool energy. He has slightly messy shortcut grey-blonde hair, thick rimmed black glasses, and a white goatee. He looks amazing. He sounded amazing.
A small black Chiweenie dog with enormous ears, a greying face, and wearing a red sweater, sits on a bench decorated for St. Patrick’s Day with a leprechaun, a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and multiple shamrocks, looking pleased with herself and sporting nicely trimmed nails.
Dolly, a small chiweenie, rests across a pile of blankets, carefully placed on the sofa in a sunny spot by her personal blanket concierge, dreaming of warm zoomies in summer grass.
Patrick Swayze, looking quite the hunk, wearing a red shirt and blue jeans holding a binder under his arm is pictured standing in an old steamer trunk.

The German Olympic team outfit, as worn by some German athletes, consisting of a massive Adidas coat that goes down past the knees and extends a couple of feet on either side of the body.
6 1/2 feet of shelving filled with unique and beautiful pottery that I made. Behold Alberta clay spun into beautiful and useful items like mugs bottles, pitchers, fridge magnets, candleholders, plant pots, bowls, and even a wall clock. Hand decorated with mountains and trees and cats and birds, by me.
An example of vintage UK cut work on a plate with a rim that has a basketweave pattern achieved by cutting away parts of the clay.
A screenshot of a phone game, similar to solitaire, but with words. The king card reads Ogopogo and the four associated cards that would go on that card read, monster, Okanagan, Cryptid, and Canada.

A crappy AI regeneration of a classic Gary Larson Far Side cartoon, created by user “ink radio” (inkradio.bsky.social) who didn’t bother to use alt text in this stolen work
A stack of 25 plywood boards with nice smooth edges ranging in size from about 14 in.² down to about 5 x 8” leans against a bookshelf full of pint jars of glazes.

An overhead view of a table laid in with colourful and interesting mugs and other pieces of pottery
The top of a small black dog‘s head and ears are just visible peeking out from under a blanket, as the dog lies in a dog bed next to a window. Through the window, you can see a lot of snow (15cm so far and still falling).
A small black dog with a gray face stands on a wet sidewalk next to a patch of green grass. The dog is wearing a navy blue raincoat with light blue lining. This was the day I got Dolly a new raincoat back in July.
A small blob of beige amongst a field of golden brown grasses next to a creek. The blob looks vaguely furry and coyote-colored. The coyote is actually bending down to pick up its meal in its mouth to move it, after it saw me watching it eat. It trot it away with something vaguely cat sized in its mouth, it looked a bit like a penguin, but I’m going to assume it was not as penguins are not native to Calgary. It might’ve been a goose as geese do frequent the creek as well. But I’ve never seen a penguin there so I’m sure if I did I would take an equally lousy photo of it!
Dolly, a small black Chiweenie, with an old lady’s grey face, looks back to the photographer over her shoulder as she sits on a dog bed, atop several blankets facing a sunny window. She will soon enjoy sun-warmed snoozles.
A shot looking down at a pair of mismatched running shoes on my feet, one runner is Nike and very dirty and the other is new and clean and a whole different brand.
A woman is pictured, lying on her side, draped in surgical sheeting. Only her face is visible. She looks off to the side with a confused expression on her face. She is undergoing open brain surgery in the scene from a Canadian Heritage minute.
