    That was Week 1?

    May 22, 2022
    I guess… that was week 1? That felt like four weeks worth of work in one, but hey! That’s what I signed up for in a summer course. It feels somewhat better to be doing this than just watching YouTube videos all day after work. One thing I definitely am getting from this course so […]

    May 22, 2022
    My daily excuse to get on Twitter and tweet meaningful things even if no one responds. This is for week 5/16-5/21, I have noted that I only need to do three per week not REQUIRED to respond to every single one, so maybe that will help me some moving forward.

    A Real Safari- No Sense

    May 22, 2022
    I always follow the belief to look at your surroundings, because something you may need or will learn is right in your own backyard. The yard area behind my apartment complex seems like a perfect place to take these photos. In 20 minutes, I feel like I could have taken so much more, but in […]

    I was setting up for my photo safari and was outside with my might stead, Muffin. To get inspiration for improving a photo, there is no better focus than her. First I have a picture I took of her just within an instant. The tip I used was “Look to the light” from Make Better […]

    May 20, 2022
    May 18, 2022. This is a nice pastoral scene about half way from Casselman to St. Albert. I took the gravel bike on a nice ride before a scheduled bikepacking trip this weekend. And for the first time ever, had a problem with it, as I broke a spoke just...

    May 20, 2022
    May 17, 2022. Julia on the shelf looking outside. Every morning starts the same way - I start the coffee, start the oatmeal, weigh myself, and then go over to the shelf where Julia is complaining that I'm too slow. Up she jumps, and then she gets a nic...

    May 16, 2022. This is the device the optomitrist uses to examine my eyes; there are some 148 lenses inside. Had a couple of meetings this morning, did the newsletter, and caught up on some email. https://flic.kr/p/2nmJv6j

    May 15, 2022. Our next door neighbour is slowly expanding his front lawn into ours.The actual property line (so far as I know) is three or four feet from his driveway. But they routinely mow well on to our side, they've trimmed our spruce trees and cut...

    May 14, 2022. This is the distinctive tartan-clad water tower in Maxville., I cycled there and back today, 57km total, with 30 degree heat and a light breeze. The ride was a bit slower because I paused to take video a number of times, creating a YouTub...

    May 14, 2022
    May 13, 2022. This is just outside Casselman, and is typical of some of the gigantic soybean fields we have around here. It's changed a lot from when I was young and all of this was divided into fields and 100 acre farms. Today I gave a presentation on...

    May 11, 2022. A farmer near St. Albert tills the soil on a beautiful but breezy spring day. The weather has turned to HOT and I am enjoying being able to get out on the bicycle after work. Today was mostly about cleaning up and doing errands that stack...

    May 11, 2022
    May 10, 2022. This farm is on the long way back from St.Albert. If you were wondering, this is what farms look like these days - the traditional barns and silos are a thing of the past. Beautiful warm day (at last!) and quite pleasant to cycle. Mostly ...

    May 8, 2022
    May 8, 2022. This is a spring azure butterfly, small, flighty, hard to capture. With wings closed, like this, it looks a little brown, but when they're flying you see the bright purple. We went to Bank Street to pick up some bicycle tubes (and ended up...

    May 7, 2022. This is my Aunt Marilyn, whose life we celebrated today. She passed away in the middle of the winter after a long and interesting life, and since there's no rush to inter her urn, the early spring celebration allowed the entire family to g...

    May 5, 2022. This is a cow outside the St.Albert cheese factory, which is where I go on my regular 25km bike ride. I took this photo in the context of recording a TikTok video (I'm up to 156 TikTok followers now!). Had a bit of an issue with my data li...

    May 4, 2022. Andrea came rushing into my office saying, "There's a new kind of bird." She was quite right; it was a brown thrasher, which we haven't seen before. Got new slippers today. Tried to start a No Man's Sky Circumnavigation project that may ha...

    May 3, 2022. This is a view of the Nation River along my cycling route (the usual 25km to St. Albert). Still practicing with the camera. Started the day with a couple of meetings, which means I'm not generally very productive thereafter. https://flic.k...
