    Microwave

    by
    April 8, 2025. We had a crisis in our house yesterday - the old reliable microwave died. So first thing today we were out to get a replacement - this, a new microwave, exactly like the old microwave. https://flic.kr/p/2qWWwDq

    Bike Ride

    by
    April 7, 2025. It was still a bit cold but I managed to get out for my first bike ride of the season. Thanks to winter work on the trainer I had no difficulty cycling 25 km, just need to figure out how to keep my head warm. It was 6 degrees - I don't ...

    The Trail

    by
    March 25, 2025. Still very late uploading photos. This is the Pine Grove forest trail on our regular Sunday walk. Still a lot of snow and difficult to navigate. https://flic.kr/p/2qWr224

    Caturday

    by
    March 22, 2025. I'm so late posting my daily photos. I'm uploading this April 7. This is me playing with Char on a Saturday morning. Planned to upload a Caturday photo. It never happened. https://flic.kr/p/2qWqYii

    by
    Match 21, 2025. I attended the Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Decolonization conference at Carleton today. I felt a bit like an outsider but it was important to me to listen firsthand to what people had to say. Interestingly, going to the conference...

    Pine Grove Trail

    by
    March 16, 2024. Andrea walking along Pine Grove Trail in Ottawa's greenbelt. With predictions of heavy rain we thought it would be a great test of my wet weather gear for my Iceland ride. But instead it was warm (11 degrees) and hardly rained at all. ...

    Walking

    by
    March 13, 2025. This is a forest near my house; I took a quick photo as I passed by on my (so-called) daily walk. Casselman is rapidly being developed so the forest probably won't last long. https://flic.kr/p/2qSqET9

    Joe Mamma

    by
    March 11, 2025. This is my bicycle on the stand at Joe Mamma Cycles; Julia is giving a look while Hype is serving another customer. The plan is to prepare it for Iceland. It's going to come out of the shop looking quite different from what it did goin...

    Snowy Monday

    by
    March 10, 2025. It snowed overnight and this was the result, as seen from my basement window facing the backyard. Fortunately today was a work-from-home day so I didn't have to experience the traffic, which was a mess. https://flic.kr/p/2qSua9q

    Northland

    by
    February 28, 2025. This is a tree along the side of Blair Road here in Ottawa. It's not as distinctive of the maple but the shape will be recognizable to anyone who lives in the north. I see hundreds of them every day, and they remind me of where I'm ...
