    April 8, 2025
    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 ...

    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

    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

    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...

    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

    March 17, 2025
    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

    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

    March 17, 2025
    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

    February 28, 2025
    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 ...

    February 27, 2025
    February 27, 2025. This is the view outside my office window today. As you can see, winter isn't letting us go just yet. We're in for more snow and cold over the next couple of weeks. This is always the hardest time of the year to stay positive. https...

    February 26, 2025. An alpaca waiting for food. Wearing my new socks today, and I would say it really says 'buy local' when you feed the animal that made your socks for you. If you're in the Ottawa area, here you are: lacitedesalpagas.ca/ https://flic....

    January 24, 2025. Here I am hard at work. That's Emma. She has never been a lap cat and hated to be held, but the day my mother passed she started sitting in my lap or on my desk in the mornings. I don't know why - I assume it was some subtle change i...

    February 8, 2025
    February 8, 2024. A bright splash of red in a winter forest. I had big ambitions for today but instead spent it fixing the last of the bad bugs in CList. I'm sure many smaller ones remain. I also spent quite a bit of time petting a cat that was sleepi...

    February 7, 2024. Two people snowshoeing through the Mer Bleue forest. Having a very quiet week with limited ambition; things will get busy in a hurry next week so I'm making the most of it. https://flic.kr/p/2qKrrp3

    February 6, 2025. Another photo from our walk in the forest. This year, I'm focused less on taking a photo every day (that may change) to trying to post them more or less regularly. https://flic.kr/p/2qKikfi

    February 5, 2025. We went for a walk in the Mer Bleue forest again. The snow is getting deeper and it was a bit harder to walk. The birds were all out despite the cold weather. https://flic.kr/p/2qKidnG
