Fred and I are really pleased with the quality! This year we’re doing it local - printed by
CoBa Studios in our neighbouring town of Merrickville. The calendar is standard size,
spiral-bound, and printed on high quality smooth paper which splendidly presents the
glowing colour and crisp detail of my watercolours.
The spacious calendar squares are marked with Canadian holidays and notes from our
seasonal observations across several decades, to which you can compare your own
sightings of the first dandelion or the last frog call - as well as quirky anniversaries
of interest to nature lovers, like Rock-flipping Day, and Darwin's Birthday.
The 13th month, January 2026, tells the story of the making of the book - our cross-Canada
travels, how I painted in the field, and why the book, started in 1984, is even more important
now, in the face of increasing climate change.
