Canadian Tulip Festival, Ottawa
Canadian Tulip Festival, Ottawa
It starts quietly—rows of tulips opening along the Rideau Canal as spring settles in. Then the story catches up. The Canadian Tulip Festival begins today, marking its 74th year, but its roots go back to wartime Europe. In 1945, after Canada helped liberate the Netherlands and hosted Princess Juliana during her exile, a gift of tulip bulbs arrived in Ottawa. That tradition didn"t end; it returned each year, growing into today"s festival.Desktop Version

A bull moose foraging through the green undergrowth, Quebec
Not one to hurry, a bull moose moves with steady purpose—and for good reason. As part of the North American moose population native to Canada, these animals are well adapted to long winters and short growing seasons. Their diet shifts with availability: in summer, they browse fresh leaves, shrubs and aquatic plants; in winter, they rely more on woody material like twigs and bark.Desktop Version
Star Wars Day
Star Wars Day
May the 4th be with you! On Star Wars Day, reality cosplays as science fiction and dares you to tell the difference. Our image takes us to Ksar Ouled Soltane in Tunisia"s Tataouine district, where stacked clay granaries rise like sand‑coloured fortresses. Dating back to the 15th century, this storehouse complex was built by Berber communities to protect harvests from heat, theft and time. Function first. Beauty as a side effect.Desktop Version
International Leopard Day
International Leopard Day
High above the savannah in Kenya"s Masai Mara, a leopard curls up on a tree branch, napping as the grasslands glow at sunset. On International Leopard Day, observed on May 3, we celebrate one of the world"s most adaptable big cats. Leopards roam across Africa and parts of Asia, thriving in habitats that range from forests and mountains to open savannahs. Their spotted coats are unique to each individual, like fingerprints, and their powerful climbing skills allow them to stash prey high in trees, out of reach of scavengers.Desktop Version
Jasper National Park in Alberta
Jasper National Park in Alberta
Can you picture 11,000 square kilometres of protected wilderness? That"s Jasper National Park in Alberta. Established in 1907 as part of a growing network of protected landscapes in the Canadian Rockies, it was designated a national park in 1930. The park reflects both conservation efforts and much older Indigenous connections, including those of the Nakoda and Secwépemc peoples. Its terrain ranges from glacier-fed rivers and alpine meadows to dense conifer forests dominated by spruce and pine.Desktop Version

Keukenhof Gardens, Lisse, Netherlands
Imagine a flower sparking a financial frenzy. Sounds unlikely, right? Yet in the 1630s, tulips did exactly that in the Netherlands. During tulip mania, rare bulbs became luxury items traded for astonishing sums—some valued at prices comparable to a house. Why so valuable? Unusual colours and striped patterns were scarce and unpredictable, and collectors wanted the rarest varieties they could find.Desktop Version

Pink apple blossoms, Avila Beach, California, United States
Spring brings apple trees to life with clouds of soft pink blossoms. Their delicate petals brighten orchards and hillsides, standing out against clear blue skies as the season shifts from winter toward warmer days. These blooms attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, helping fruit trees produce the apples that will grow later in the year.Desktop Version
World Penguin Day
World Penguin Day
Penguins usually bring Antarctica to mind, but these endearing flightless seabirds don"t always follow the ice. On World Penguin Day, the Galápagos penguins pictured here offer a vivid counterpoint. Found only in the Galápagos Islands—a volcanic archipelago about 966 kilometres off Ecuador"s coast—this species lives farther north than any other penguin. Cool, nutrient‑rich ocean currents make this equatorial habitat possible by supplying food and keeping surrounding waters within survivable temperatures. Compact and agile, these birds spend much of the day in the water to stay cool.Desktop Version
Arbor Day

Arbor Day celebrates the quiet power of trees—the way they steady ecosystems, shelter wildlife, cool cities and shape the environments we rely on every day. Observed in the United States on the last Friday in April, the day encourages communities there—and in many other countries, where dates vary with the growing season—to plant, protect and care for forests of every kind.Desktop Version
Shakespeare Day
Shakespeare Day
Each April 23, the curtain rises on the life and legacy of William Shakespeare, a playwright whose words still command the world"s literary stage. Shakespeare Day commemorates the anniversary of his death in 1616 and the traditionally accepted date of his birth in 1564—a symbolic pairing that honours a writer whose works reshaped English literature. From the psychological depths of "Hamlet" to the enduring romance of "Romeo and Juliet," his language continues to echo through classrooms, theatres and everyday speech. His plays have been performed in numerous languages worldwide.Desktop Version
Earth Day
Earth Day
Earth Day didn"t knock gently. It kicked the door wide open. In 1970, oil‑soaked beaches, burning rivers and toxic air mobilised millions into street protests. When looking away was no longer an option, conservation was forced onto political agendas, sparking landmark environmental laws and flipping planet‑care from fringe concern to global priority. Every April 22, over 190 countries pause, reflect and reassess.Desktop Version
European hedgehog, France
European hedgehog, France
Spring arrives with a small, spiky ambassador: the European hedgehog, spotted here in France. Part cuddle, part survival gear, this tiny forager is mostly nocturnal and usually solitary, guided mainly by smell and sound. Its job description is simple: roam, sniff through leaf litter and vacuum up invertebrates like worms, beetles, slugs and caterpillars—the kind of snacks that keep ecosystems running and gardeners smiling. When danger shows up, it doesn"t negotiate or flee. It curls into a tight ball and lets its spines do the talking.Desktop Version
Buckets on maple trees collecting sap for maple syrup
Buckets on maple trees collecting sap for maple syrup
Have you ever enjoyed a plate of pancakes drizzled with maple syrup? That sweet pour starts its journey on a maple tree, following a very particular rhythm in nature. In late winter, sugar maple trees are tapped when days rise above freezing and nights drop below—this freeze–thaw cycle pushes sap through the tree. The clear sap is collected, then boiled down for hours—about 40 litres to make just 1 litre of syrup. The season is brief, often lasting only a few weeks between February and April, so timing matters. Traditional buckets still exist, though many producers now use vacuum tubing to improve efficiency.Desktop Version
Mirror Beach, Porto Seguro, Bahia, Brazil
Mirror Beach, Porto Seguro, Bahia, Brazil
From above, Brazil"s Mirror Beach looks like a watercolour you can walk into. Pale cliffs, reefs stitched into the shoreline and a mosaic of tide pools that, at low tide, reflect the sky and clouds so clearly that the beach earns its name. Tucked into Bahia, a north-eastern state on the Atlantic coast, it sits between small fishing villages in the city of Porto Seguro. Access follows dirt roads and short trails—a natural crowd-control system that keeps the vibe intimate. For years, it stayed off the map, known only through word of mouth, until the 1990s brought it onto travellers" radars.Desktop Version
World Heritage Day
World Heritage Day
Today, on World Heritage Day, attention turns to places that tell humanity"s shared story—protected for their exceptional cultural or natural value. One of them rises from volcanic stone on Easter Island, Chile. At Rano Raraku, the slopes of an extinct volcano became the workshop where nearly all of the island"s famous moai were carved. The image captures this remarkable quarry, where half-finished figures emerge from the rock, frozen mid-creation.Desktop Version
International Bat Appreciation Day
International Bat Appreciation Day
On April 17, International Bat Appreciation Day flips its cape to the planet"s night shift: bats. With more than 1,400 species on every continent except Antarctica, these winged mammals keep ecosystems balanced. They"ve been on Earth for over 50 million years, and only three species are true vampires. Found only in the Americas, these bats feed on blood, while the rest survive on insects, fruit, nectar or pollen. In Canada, bats such as the little brown bat and the big brown bat play a key role in controlling insect populations, consuming vast numbers of mosquitoes and agricultural pests each night, supporting both forests and farmlands.Desktop Version
Blooming lupines in Newfoundland
Blooming lupines in Newfoundland
What makes a lupine so eye-catching? Start with the shape: tall spires packed with pea-like flowers, often in blues, purples, pinks and whites. Add finely divided leaves and a knack for improving soil by fixing nitrogen, and you"ve got a plant that"s both hardy and useful. Lupines thrive in cool climates, which explains why they spread so easily across parts of Atlantic Canada.Desktop Version

Common clownfish in a sea anemone, Raja Ampat Islands, Indonesia
Sea anemones may look like underwater flowers, but they"re actually animals—close relatives of jellyfish and corals. Anchored to rocks or reefs, they use a sticky base and a crown of waving tentacles armed with tiny stingers to capture passing prey. Those stings can paralyse small fish, yet one famous neighbour is immune.Desktop Version
