Parc du Lac-Beauchamp
June 25, 2023. This is the trail through Parc du Lac-Beauchamp, at the eastern edge of Gatineau. It was an easy 5 km walk, though it was warm and the smoke from the firest fires filled the air. https://flic.kr/p/2oKxfYr -
Luggage
June 18, 2023. This is my luggage heading into the chute at Schipol airport. I've taken to photographing my luggage as it gets checked in so there's no mistake about its existence or its nature. This especially applies for Air Canada, which has been ha... -
Roses and Bee
June 19, 2023. A bee in a rose near the Gloucester Costco. Monday was a work-at-home day, except I had to take Andrea in for a medical appointment, so we also stopped briefly at the Costco on the way home. Not too productive, though I did catch u... -
Goldfinches
June 20, 2023. Looking at the feeder in my back yard, adorned with goldfinches. Went into the office today for a meeting (held by videoconference, of course) and (more importantly) Bruno's retirement dinner at a local Indian restaurant (which I w... -
Roses
June 23, 2023. These are roses outside the pharmacy in Gloucester, near work. I picked up some prescriptions for Andrea (who, like me, is celebrating the end of the pandemic with health issues). It was an office day today, and I spent time on newslett... -
Sunset
June 22, 2023. Sunset as seen from my front porch. It's interesting this time of the year because the sun sets so far to the north. Another day working at home, focused mostly on newsletter contents. Also some IRAP work. Like yesterday, I was indoors ... -
Green Berries
June 21, 2023.Green berries on a green plan in my back yard. Working at home today. Did some stuff for IRAP, as well as the newsletter. Recovering from my trip. My itch is still a major concern. https://flic.kr/p/2oKtJh1 -
Hofrust
June 16, 2023. On the way out of Den Haag I found this little park and large house with this statue by a pond. I wasn't sure whether it was private, but the gate was open so I took the opportunity for a photo. Today's bike ride was from the centre of ... -
Ostrich
June 15, 2023. Not exactly what I expected to find in the Dutch countryside, but this ostrich seemed to fit right in. I cycled from my hotel to the centre of Den Haag, about 60+ km. It was a brilliant day, clear, sunny and warm, and full with the sort... -
Windmill
June 14, 2023. This is a windmill just outside Amsterdam, spotted as I took the scenic route cycling from our meetings today back to the hotel. Today was a very successful meeting day, as I presented the work I had done and got people signed up and wo... -
Dating With You
June 13, 2023. This work of art by Twan Van de Vorstenbosch was on display in the hotel where we had our meetings. I quite like it. The meetings today went reasonably well as project members worked through the nature of democracy and citizenship - imp... -
Buddies
June 12, 2023. Display spotted in an Amsterdam city window. I cycled from the airport to the city centre for a meeting (11 km), wandered around the city a bit (5 or 6 km), then cycled back out to the hotel (16 km). All in all, a pretty good day. I'm r... -
Dutch Sparrow
June 11, 2023. This sparrow rests on a glass wall at a little cafe on the sand dunes high above the Dutch North Sea coast near Haarlem. My firat full day in Holland, I cycled from my hotel near the airport to Haarlem, touring the city a bit, and then ... -

A New Light
June 10, 2023. Due in part to the shading of the window and in part on smoke in the atmosphere, the Sun appeared outside the airplane window as a deep ruby red, looking like I've never seen it before. Landed on time, dropped my bags at the hotel, then... -
YUL
june 9, 2023. This is YUL, also known as Trudeau Airport in Montreal. I'm on my way this evening to Amsterdam for a week of meetings and cycling. The weather is supposed to be great, the flight is on time, I'm prepared for everything, and looking forw... -
Thrasher
June 9, 2023. Though only an occasional visitor to the back yard, this thrasher is always welcome. Another day in the empty building known as my office, getting in a full day of work before heading off for a week. https://flic.kr/p/2oHH97W -
The Smoke (2)
June 7, 2023. This is the building where I work. It is a sterile desert with no services or social interaction at all. And I don't know what all the chimneys are for, but it makes it seem like a relic of a past age when air pollution meant nothing. An... -
The Smoke
June 6, 2023. The smoke from northern wildfires has descended over the region, meaning I can't really go out for a bike ride or anything, really. So I mostly focused on work (and trying not to itch). https://flic.kr/p/2oHJXHj -
