A new study using the longest high-resolution satellite record of tree cover has found that the boreal forest has expanded by 12% and shifted northward over the past four decades....The results show an expansion of approximately 0.84 million square kilometres, with growth concentrated between 64°N and 68°N. - Feng et al (2026)

#SevenOnSunday the colours of winter: #sunset over the #mountains , warm day #puddles , moss, lichens, evergreen leaves and sun through melting frost on the car windows!

#Colour + #sun for #SevenOnSunday with hints of days of high contrast to come! A few warm days right now (high of 26C forecast for today, first time that high in ages!) but we've had chilly days and nights as low as -5C already (not early for us). #Winter is not far away. Still tons of colour but #trees have reached peak, only tamarack have yet to hit full colour, some poplars already bare. Soon it will be all about #light shadow, texture, line.

A #SlowWalk for #SevenOnSunday (unlike a hike, a slow walk is not about going someplace, it is about
#being someplace -of course hikes *can* do this too).
Colours just starting to tip over into #autumn #LeafMother starts with the understory, forbs and shrubs and begins to dull the greens in preparation for the over the top displays to come.
