Two new pages of the #carnivorousPlant #zine are up! Click the link for the whole thing :)

Edited to replace the second page where I somehow managed to line up the text around the image without realizing I had duplicated an entire paragraph, because I'm sooo professional.

Illustration of a pine barrens tree frog on a blueberry branch, with grasspink orchids and a leaf from Sarracenia minor (a pitcher plant). Illustration has the text:

Humans aren’t the only risk these bog loving species must face. While we don’t usually think of fire when we think of wetlands, many wetland species, including some pines, need an occasional fire to help them thrive. While the fire might threaten the animal and insect species that live there, without it they would loose the wetland habitat they rely on.

Bogs and pocasins may get quite dry in spring or summer, and be prone to fires that keep the growth under control. These fires keep low-growing, sun-loving plants such as flytraps from being overshadowed by growing shrubs. Without such fires, the bogs and pocasins would slowly develop into a forest. Because of these fires, the soil has a high ash content. So, even though they are separate from the water table, some minerals may be present from the ash. However, these minerals are used by the moss itself to wage biological warfare in a bloodthirsty struggle for resources.

At the heart of what makes a bog, we find sphagnum moss. Each strand of moss is an individual plant. They do not have roots, just a main stem with drooping branches full of pointed, tube-like leaves. The leaves have large, empty cells that absorb and hold water, soaking it up like a sponge. It can hold up to 20 times its weight in water. This makes it very effective at filtering the water that passes through it, and it has learned to use this to its advantage.

A chubby little tardigrade in sphagnum moss, with the moss enlarged to show the detail of a branch and cellular structure in the background with the text:

Like many plants, sphagnum mosses have a trick up their sleeves to give themselves an advantage to compete for resources. Slow growing plants like moss can quickly get overshadowed. However, the moss likes acidic conditions, and can even make conditions even more acidic by absorbing minerals plants love such as potassium and magnesium, and replacing these minerals with hydrogen ions. When we talk about acidity, we are talking about that very thing, how many hydrogen ions are in the environment. The more there are, the more acidic it is.

This not only means fewer minerals are available, but what nutrients are left may become unusable. Acidic water may cause minerals to form bonds with each other. When this happens, they are less likely to dissolve in water, so plant roots are unable to pull them up into the plant, starving the plant of the resources it needs for proper metabolism and building of cellular structures. Plants wither from hunger, and their roots burn in the acidity. Meanwhile, the moss thrives.

Most plants can’t survive in this environment but some, such as carnivorous plants, have adapted to fight back. In a mature bog, the moss rises in little mounds or hills. Plants who can handle the pressure find themselves a cozy home with few competitors, and plenty of moisture from what the moss holds. Some acid loving plants start taking over. This can be anything from grasses to shrubs such as cranberry and blueberry, and trees such as black spruce and birch. Orchids love bogs and pocasins, and are often found growing near carnivorous plants.

I was in no hurry to be someplace, because I was already there. I stopped, and fully immersed myself in the calmness, the peace, and the beauty.

Have you ever felt that? That realization that you don't need to rush, that your time, right now, is all your own, and you choose to spend it in a state of tranquility?

It's a feeling worth having again and again and again.

A kneeling courtier offers a bowl concealing a de‑worming pill to a regal cat queen seated on an ornate throne, crown on her head and flanked by armed guards, while the court anxiously hopes she won't detect it. Caption reads "They all prayed the Queen would not detect the de-worming pill hidden in her royal num-nums."

A pal asked if I could turn a two-bottle LCBO gift box into a mini-cajon.

The results were pleasing.

I bought a snare wire for $20, a strip of cedar for the sound board, and some 3/8 quarter round to reinforce the box.

The thin plywood bottle separator became the snare wire anchor, adjustable for front- or side-slap activation. The sound board itself can be slid open or closed for a crisp or muted snap. The sound hole blank decorates the top.

Customer happy.

View of snare wire through the sound hole. The plywood snare wire mount has been decorated with my trademark magnifying glass branded ampersand symbol (representing the offbeat nature of my life). The box and holder have both been stained 'espresso' - a dark hue which has caught the grain and imperfections nicely while leaving the smooth bits quite pale.
