I'm sure lots of you would have had all kinds of guesses, but I am also sure none of you would have had "an island off the Eastern Shore" as your answer.
Here's the zoomed out version of the image I showed previously.
All the photos were taken on Wolfe's Island. #NovaScotia
A few more photos from Wolfe's Island, including the cabin where I spent the day, and what the rest of the island looks like.
For those of you asking "how did the beavers get there?" I'm pretty sure they walked there over the ice in the winter.
This hasn't been possible since the mid-1990s, due to warming ocean temperatures, so the beavers are likely to become very inbred over time.
This is going to be controversial, but here goes.
Although I do believe in #GenderEquality, I don't consider myself to be a #feminist.
I will explain the reasons why in this thread... (1/x)
First let's look at the Meriam-Webster definition of the word...
"[A] belief in and advocacy of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes expressed especially through organized activity on behalf of women's rights and interests."

This definition: ✔️
However, the people that call themselves "feminists" don't always reflect this reality.
Even if you are committed to improving the rights of women, you might very well not be a feminist.
Why? (3/x)
Alright: today's the day.
I'm going to use the #CanSIPS to try and figure out some of the puzzle pieces of the #HurricaneSeason, which starts in 14 days.
First thing to notice: NO El Nino. The equatorial Pacific is coolish, & the Atlantic is warm.
El Nino suppresses hurricanes.🧵
Next: there's lots of rising motion over the Indian Ocean (green colour) and sinking motion over the Eastern Pacific (red colour).
That leads to more robust tropical waves coming off Africa, which have a higher chance of developing into tropical cyclones.
So this forecasts suggests a busy hurricane season in the Atlantic.
We have low pressure in the Atlantic, that favours tropical wave development into TC's.
The Bermuda High is weak, so a lot of storms will likely recurve.
But, if said storms make it to the western Atlantic...
