A wayward caterpillar was helped off the pavement and to a nearby tree.

The photographer carefully lifts up a prickly looking caterpillar.

Some flowers from along the way - yellow and darker purple respectively.

Yay chinchillas! Not a new pic here, but Mr. Liam is still with me in his golden years.

An ebony chinchilla sits on a couple of blankets and a towel which are on top of a woven blue blanket. A wooden pet hut is partly visible on the left with the very tail end of a pet's plush resting on top of it.

Just got out of pool. I should call them half laps because they are not the length but the width of the pool. I can do one, catch my breath, do one again. Not worked up to a full length yet/there and back.

This waterfowl looks crested, not sure the species.

The designated hangout log for local turtles.

Two turtles lounge on a rotting log which is sticking out of the water at a forty-five degree angle.

Yep. Have some on hand. Will try it the next batch.

First day at the outdoor pool for some form of exercise. Accounting for travel and change time, not sure I lasted half an hour. Could not really do two complete laps, and subsequently not one. Work in progress.

I didn't feel personally prepared to conduct readings or appear on a panel, but you can find a comprehensive list of panels and readings scheduled at fictionfest.ca/events/ #BookSky #WritingCommunity #Canada

A blue polka dot background with a Canada Goose. A cartoon-style talk bubble has it saying: “HEY YOU! Have you checked out our event schedule yet?”

A yellow polka dot background with a photo of a moose. A cartoon-style talk bubble has the moose saying: “HEY CANADA! Fiction Fest is finally here! Check it out today!”

Little fellas like this know no fear.

A red winged blackbird fearlessly walks in the grass, probably patrolling in the vicinity of a nest.

Dylan Madeley@dylanmadeley· Jun 17

My 2nd pick for #CanadaFictionFest2026 is 'The Last Gift-Knight', which was released April of this year. Bookmark FictionFest.ca and check back in a little under a week. #BookSky #WritingCommunity #Canada

A blue square background with a zigzag pattern. In the bottom right corner is a moose, and a cartoon-style talk bubble has it saying: “Fiction Fest has SO MANY awesome Canadian books and authors! Check it out today!” To the left of the moose is the book cover for The Last Gift-Knight.

Dylan Madeley@dylanmadeley· Jun 15

One of my selections for #CanadaFictionFest2026 is 'The Redemption of Jarek'. The sword on the cover is probably still being used by Craig Renaud for HEMA training and events. The wheat cluster is unlikely to have survived until now. Bookmark it at FictionFest.ca #BookSky #WritingCommunity #Canada

Spending time with the cuddly creature.

A corgi lays on the couch while demanding attention from the photographer.

I met these birds today

A common pigeon grooms another who has patches of white feathers. They are standing on a rain soaked boardwalk.

Dylan Madeley@dylanmadeley· Jun 13

I hope my 6 humble contributions have helped with that need. 9 if you count the original trilogy which is no longer for sale. Bookmark FictionFest.ca and check back on June 21st! #CanadaFictionFest2026 #BookSky #WritingCommunity #Canada

A blue zig-zag pattern background with a photograph of a chickadee in the foreground. A cartoon-style talk bubble has the bird saying: “The world needs more Canadian booksl!”

A dusty-rose polka dot background with a lounging caribou in the foreground. Black text lists the dates for Fiction Fest: June 21 to July 4, and a cartoon-style talk bubble has the caribou saying: “You want books? Fiction Fest has books. Fiction of all kinds, all by Canadian authors!”

A stony shore.

A lakeside beach comprised of smooth stones receding into the waterline instead of sand. Larger rocks in the foreground and a cluster of trees in the distance.

Dylan Madeley@dylanmadeley· Jun 12

Every book I've published is secondary-world fantasy, if surprisingly grounded. My upcoming free-to-read serial departs from this pattern. Anyway, you will be able to find many more genres at #CanadaFictionFest2026 - bookmark FictionFest.ca & mark June 21st in calendar! #BookSky #WritingCommunity

A yellow polka dot background with a red fox looking out at the reader in the foreground. Black text lists the dates for Fiction Fest: June 21 to July 4, and a cartoon-style talk bubble has the fox saying: “Mystery, fantasy, sci-fi, horror and more! Check out our all-Canadian online fiction festival!”

Dylan Madeley@dylanmadeley· Jun 11

I had to think carefully about which 2 out of my 6 books I would list for this, and I hope you will be pleased with my selections. I'll announce each within the next 5 days. Bookmark Fictionfest.ca in advance and enjoy the showcase on June 21st. #BookSky #WritingCommunity #CanadaFictionFest2026

I once bottle-fed some juvenile raccoons. Adorable, soft, but can't say I enjoyed the smell; fortunately for them this was a temporary arrangement, and they were rehomed in a sanctuary. Anyway, bookmark FictionFest.ca and check back on June 21st! #BookSky #CanadaFictionFest #WritingCommunity

A green polka dot background with a wistful-looking raccoon resting on a log in the foreground. White text about the raccoon says: “POV: When you’re stuck waiting for Fiction Fest to start and don’t know what to do with yourself.”

Realizing I had an old GOG account I went to delete it, and my confirmation deletion message suddenly flipped to Cyrillic. Weird. English is the only language in any of my settings on any account.

A gog.com account deletion confirmation screen which shows Cyrillic characters:
