June 20, 2015. Cycled north of the city to St-Paul-de-Kent along highway 515 and then back down 490 (aka McLaughlin Road). This is just south of the closed bridge in a place called Gladeside. Becautiful day for a ride today; I also got some other reall...

June 19, 2015. Took a short walk on a quiet day to look for stuff to photograph in Mapleton Park. These Dame's Rockets (Hesperis matronalis) were the only splash of colour in the otherwise lush green forest. Good day today, beginning to feel in the gro...

June 18, 2015. Purple Centaurea Montana Flower - aka Cornflower or Mountain Bluet. Whatever you call them, they are spiky, they are purple, they are attractive, and they are in my front garden. Another day with meetings, but the weather was nice and I'...

June 17, 2015. Brazil may have won the game but Costa Rica goalkeeper Dinnia Diaz was the star of the game, turning back the South Americans again and again. No, this was not a goal; it would finally come in the 85th minute or so. Today: a bit of a bre...

June 16, 2015. Today started too early for my tastes, and seemed to continue for a long time. Finally home around six to see the Hansa flourishing on the bush in the front yard. From Flickr http://ift.tt/1TrAM9n

June 15, 2015. Ange finishes her follow-through as she scores Côte d'Ivoire's historic first goal at the world cup in its game against Norway. The ball just squeezed past the keeper's outstretched arm to land in the net. From Flickr http://ift.tt/1eiGj25

June 14, 2015. The Buctouche River just north of Légerville in a little park containing Rabbit Trail. I had lunch there on what turned out to be a 92 kilometer bike ride (it would have been shorter but a bridge was washed out causing an hour-long detour). I then wiped out trying to ride on Rabbit Trail. Beautiful day for a bike ride. From Flickr http://ift.tt/1GFkIvq

June 8, 2015. On this week's theme for the Moncton Photogrphy group. It's hard to do anything unique with a motor vehicle, but I tried. The day started out well but became one of those stressful days where you're doing your best but can't seem to make ...

June 7, 015. If you saw a cyclist oumping his fist in Irishtown yesterday, that was me celebrating the Blue Jays come from behind win against Houston. As usual, I listed to the entire game on my Sunday afternoon cycle, including the Astros four-run inn...

June 6, 2015. Cycled the Salisbury loop again today; rough wind on the way back. I should have spent more time on this photo, but didn't, and now have a photo-of-the-day with blur (this was the best of a bad lot). From Flickr http://ift.tt/1T3VvzX

June 5, 2015. Bart in the kitchen contemplating the treat ball. The idea is to roll the ball to extract treats. Bart is an accomplished treat ball player; he's learned to bounce it off walls, shake it back and forth, and most of all, convince me to giv...

June 4, 2015. A peaceful forest scene for what has been historically a turbulent day. Also my late father's birthday. I spent a quiet day, one very productive meeting, and some more work on my vision document. From Flickr http://ift.tt/1KIWrnA

June 3, 2015. There were two or three ducks on a glass-smooth pond earlier, but the rain had returned and the ducks were gone when I came back. This is the pond just outside the office. Quiet day today, got a good amount done on my 'LPSS Vision' slides...

June 2, 2015. Another stormy day, rainclouds and conflict. I took a brief moment out of the office to look at the forest just up the road - this tributary runs between Halls Creek and the McLaughlin Reservoir 5 km to the north. This is the view looking...

June 1, 2015. I've been meaning to capture this guy for a while; he's a former tree along St. George at High Street. I snapped a quick photo while driving Andrea back from the dentist. From Flickr http://ift.tt/1LYki2S

May 31, 2015. The last day of May is cold and rainy. An indoor day. There are the Moscow Beauties in the front yard enjoying the rain and realy to blossom. From Flickr http://ift.tt/1RD4CWw

March 30, 2015. An old rail bridge near Salisbury. Against a brisk southwest wind I cycled out to Salisbury and then followed the 'New Brunswick Trail' across the river. This is an old railbed that split from the mail line in Salisbury and crossed over...

May 29, 2015. Cabela's opened here in Moncton yesterday on what was once a beautiful piece of parkland, so I took some of my noon hour to visit today. This is a former deer stuffed and mounted for the viewing pleasure of the clientele. Cabela's caters ...

May 28, 2015. This is the old wood stump at the edge of the parking lot at St. Patricks, where I have spin class. It's a good entry for this week's 'texture' theme in the Moncton Photographers group. It looks like people from the hospital across the st...

May 27, 2015. It was a beautiful day outside but I had four meetings plus spin class. So it was an indoor day for me. This is our dining room, uncharacteristically clean in antipation of visitors over the wekend. Obviously we need to polish the surface...

May 26, 2015. Busy difficult day with a three hour meeting and then a case of ripped pants. Had to go gone and sleep. So this is a photo from the week-end, the sad sack clown from Moncton Museum. From Flickr http://ift.tt/1JXQUeG

May 25, 2015. It was a beautiful 29 degrees today. Sadly, I spent it in the office with four meetings lined up one after the other. Just as well though, since there was a strong wind all day. Regular viewers will recognize this as the entrance to the b...

May 23, 2015. It alternated between cold and colder today, and in black of downdraft we got hail. Tiny pebble-sized hail, admittedly, but it's still an oddity in these parts. Good thing I spent the day indoors. The dining room looks great now! From Fli...

May 22, 2015. I took a look into the jungle that is our backyard. The raspberries, seen here, are flourishing. So are a few mountain ask, a couple maples, and the roses we planted a few years ago. From Flickr http://ift.tt/1Kr9lcP

May 21, 2015. A daffodil from the front garden. We have a total of four of them this year. Time to plant some more bulbs. From Flickr http://ift.tt/1K8Mfo0

May 20, 2015. On no-meetings Wednesday today I had three meetings, plus a quarterly report to finish, and some other work. Lots of stress, and I slept poorly last night. Spin class at St. Patrick's Centre (seen here) is good for that. No, it didn't eli...
