    View From The Back

    by
    August 2, 2022. This is just a quick photo taken of the back yard; I propped the camera on a shelf to keep it still and the content was what resulted. I was focused mostly on getting admin tasks done and playing the new No Man's Sky expedition. https:/...

    View From the Front

    by
    August 3, 2022. View from the front. This is the sunset snapped with my phone camera through the small unglazed part of the front door window. A day much like yesterday's, except I also went to the Independent in Embrun to get the last of the supplies ...

    Midsummer Harvest

    by
    August 1, 2022. This is a midsummer harvest (I assume of winter wheat, but I really don't know). It was a holiday today and my legs were recovered enough to get out for a short bike ride. Not the holiday long weekend I planned, but the one I got. https...

    Alfred Bog

    by
    July 31, 2022. This is Alfred Bog, 9,000 acres of sphagnum moss located about 40 kilometers from home. With my legs still not working very well we were limited to a short walk, so this boardwalk of less than a kilometer was perfect. Definitely a place ...

    Devastation

    by
    July 30, 2022. We came back from Mont Tremblant to find the Village had hired landscapers to cut down all the foliage on our property. It wasn't surprising, given the notice they had sent, though we *did* cut the grass. But we did not cut down our gold...

    Home From Tremblant

    by
    July 29, 2022. This is the Ottawa river with two people kayaking in pretty windy conditions. We drove home from Mont Tremblant today. My legs (especially my quads) are very sore. We'll probably return to Tremblant in the fall. https://flic.kr/p/2nBctah

    Walking Down Tremblant

    by
    July 28, 2022. This is Andrea on the granite about half way down Mont Tremblant on the Grande Brule trail. It was a 7 km walk in which we went up about 60 metres and down about 660 metres, all along quite a rough and tricky trail. My legs were literall...

    Black Vulture

    by
    July 27, 2022. This is a black vulture, part of the birds of prey show at Mont Tremblant. We saw the show a few years ago and this bird (as well as the owl) was new. We wandered around a bit on top of the mountain but otherwise had a relatively easy da...
