    January 17, 2024. The red from the rising sun was reflected in the snow coating the trees for only a few moments this morning before it climbed above the clouds. As a result I had that "Good morning starshine.." song in my head all day. Longish day wo...

    January 16, 2024
    January 16, 2024. I went to visit my mother and Bernie after work today; this is my car in the parking lot at the residence where she lives. It gives you a picture of the weather we're having - cold, icy, and on the way home, a lot of fog. Just an ave...

    January 14, 2024
    January 14, 2024. This was the back ward today - bare trees and plenty of snowfall. A pretty good storm is brewing. I stayed indoors all day and worked on my European project, making a ton of progress. I'm also waking up early because I have a 4:00 a....

    January 12, 2024
    January 12, 2024. I photographed oak leaves from below against a fading blue sky that's beginning to haze over as a winter snowstorm approaches. Had a longish meeting this morning and spent most of the day reading for newsletter articles. No, I don't ...

    January 11, 2024. This is some artwork on a fence around a vacant lot at the corner of Bank and Lisgar in Ottawa's Centretown. It's the site of a future condo, supposedly, though the fence is old enough to be seen on Google Maps. I was in the area to ...

    January 10, 2024
    January 10, 2024. I spotted these porch decorations on the second of my 'daily' walks this year (it has been tough to get motivated). I spoke a bit with the owner who said he bought the reindeer but that his wife made the snowmen after he cut the wood...

    January 9, 2024
    January 9, 2024. Working from home today because of the impending weather. It arrived around lunch time in the form of a good old fashioned eastern Ontario snowfall. A couple of meetings, and reading for my newsletter. A bit melancholy today - could b...

    January 8, 2024
    January 8, 2024. This is my office in the city. There used to be a lot more green but my plants all died during the pandemic and I never replaced them. These days I'm, in the office two out of five days, which makes it hard to find a routine. Not sure...

    January 5, 2024. Tomlinson is the name of the company that owns this equipment, of course. It's a Caterpillar 335 Excavator sitting on the lawn at NRC waiting to be used in some of the construction currently being undertaken. I don't actually know wha...

    January 3, 2024. Testing how well my new camera (a Nikon Z8) works. It works like a dream. This is the cedar hedge beside the house. Today was a work-at-home day spent mostly working on my newsletter, registering for a Mongo DB conference, and setting...

    January 2, 2024
    January 2, 2024. While we were in Barrie over Christmas I bought this lamp from a shop featuring Turkish rugs, dishes and lamps. The sparkly shade appealed to me. Anyhow, it now sits here in my home office, adding to the general ambience. Today was a ...
