View From The Back
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
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 ... -
The Yellow Fields of Prescott-Russell
August 4, 2022. Out on another bike ride in the late afternoon after work, and the setting sun turns the wheat fields a golden yellow. Last ride on the bike before Anticosti; I'm nervous about every single detail of the bike's functioning but can't cha... -
Midsummer Harvest
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
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
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
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
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
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... -
Trailside Pond
July 26, 2022. This is a pond along the side of the Le Petit Train du Nord trail. I cycled 97 to Riviere Rouge and back. My front derailleur broke somewhere along the route; of course, I was as far away as possible when I noticed it. But it wasn't a ma... -
To Mont Tremblant
July 25, 2022. Today we returned to Mont Tremblant for our annual visit, driving up in the morning and walking around the townsite in the afternoon. We missed the Blues Festival this year, because it was scheduled too late (I like to book accommodation... -
End of the Trail
July 23, 2022. Cycled through Embrun to see if anyone was home (they weren't) and down to the end of the NY Central trail in Russell, where I took this photo. Nice easy 58 km today (I also did some yardwork). https://flic.kr/p/2nAcUQX -
Thistle
July 22, 2022. We received a notice from the village office today telling us to cut our grass and remove noxious weeds. I think we may have a very different definition of what counts as a noxious weed. Less productive today, wrapping things up preparin... -
Great Crowd
July 21, 2022. It's too bad the RedBlacks lost today because we had a great crowd on hand, absolutely filling the north side stands (they still can't fill the south side, which should be noted as they design a rebuilt north side - we need our roof. Tod... -
PopSilo
July 20, 2022. Out for a quick bike ride to St. Albert (the bridge still isn't closed) and took this from the outside wall of the St. Albert cheese facroty. It's just a bit of background from a big image of a cow, and we see a 'Pop Silo' - the artist's... -
Donut Holes
July 19, 2020. A view of a fresh batch of donut holes at the Tim Hortons. I thought they looked more attractive than usual. Continued exploring Moodle 4 today, this time working with MoodleNet. https://flic.kr/p/2nA9QeS -
Waiting for Water
July 18, 2022. Lexi knows that if she goes to the kitchen tap and waits, someone (usually me) will turn on a nice stream of cold water for her. I have a week of work and then a lot of vacation, so I can't start anything big, but can do a video about in... -
Azadi Ka Amrit Mohotsav
There is an excitement in the air as we approach 15th August. This year India celebrates its 75th year of independence and the country is gearing up to pull out all stops. Recently on my visit to present at the Computational Thinking in Schools’ ... -
Week 5 dev log/reflection
And with that, I close the book on this blog and the class it was made for. It was a lot of fun in some parts, a lot of stress in others, and the whole time I was learning. The assignments made me learn about new techniques and programs, forced me out of comfort zones […]
