    September 3, 2022. Cycled this beautiful Saturday 112 km to the St. Lawrence River and back (note my 2022-365 pictures are all out of order because of my 3-week gap while in Anticosti, but I'm still taking them and uploading them). https://flic.kr/p/2n...

    August 5, 2022
    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:/...

    August 5, 2022
    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

    August 5, 2022
    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

    August 1, 2022
    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
    | 2022365, Syndicated
    August 1, 2022
    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
    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 29, 2022
    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 29, 2022
    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

    | 2022365, Syndicated
    July 29, 2022
    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

    by
    | 2022365, Syndicated
    July 29, 2022
    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...

    July 24, 2022
    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

    July 24, 2022
    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

    by
    | 2022365, Syndicated
    July 24, 2022
    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...

    July 24, 2022
    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...
