Because of all the insect photographs I am taking, I bought a small flash this month and started incorporating a diffuser and reflector into my macrophotography based on the tutorial from this blogger.

More urban insects on campus
As I mentioned last month, there is a group of pollination-enthusiasts conducting weekly pollinator observations on uOttawa campus. Here are some of the insects and plants we have observed this month.

Have a great 2017 - Clark and flowers
As 2016 comes to an end, it is time to focus on the positive things that had happened and look forward to the things that will arrive in the new year.
Nothing really exciting (or positive) happened during the first half of 2016, where I was pretty much waiting and planning for my third and final field season. During my field season, I added several crucial components to my research and visited beautiful places such as Pikes Peak and Conundrum Hot Springs with my friend. After coming back to Canada, I packed and moved to my own place in Ottawa and went on trips to Quebec City/Montreal and Toronto/Niagara Falls with my mother. I was mostly busy during the school semester but still enriched my life by going to the Butterfly Show, Big Sky Ranch, and Museum of Nature exhibits.
In 2017, I will be attending a conference and defending my Ph.D dissertation (if everything goes to plan). Aside from those, my future will once again enter a sea of uncertainties. I will try to find jobs and think about what I want to do with my life. I have been thinking about selling my photographs - either to stock photography and/or as prints to anyone interested in them, which means I should enter social media to promote my photos (hence the new changes to this blog). We shall see if any of that come to fruition, but I will keep everyone posted if I do.
In the meantime, here are some more photos of Clark the cat.

Went back to BC for 10 days
I went back to BC for reading week from Oct 11th to 20th. Aside from going out twice nature-watching and five times for food, I spent most of my time indoors working. Such is the life of a busy PhD student.
On the second day back, I went to Richmond's Sharing Farm for an hour or two with my mother. The sky was cloudy and cool temperature - typical Vancouver.

Walked along Iona jetty
I drove to Iona this afternoon and decided to walk the entire way along the jetty, which I haven't done before.
Definitely a nice day to take on this task.
Saw a grebe along the jetty. Probably a Western Grebe.
