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... -
PorchFest
July 16, 2022. This is PorchFest in Vankleek Hill. Cycled 105 kilometers there and back today in 30 degree temperatures under a blazing sun and hot dry dusty wind. It was a good day overall, and it's nice to have my first century of the year. https://f... -
Buddies
July 15, 2022. Charlemagne (orange) and Julia (not orange) sleeping / sitting together on a chair. Friday, the last of the corrections for my paper are done, two interviews complete, an article for OEB (which accepted my proposal) is done, feeling good... -
The Ford Plant
June 14, 2022. As I understand it, this is a new Ford parts provisioning centre, located here in Casselman, just on the other side of the highway. So Casselman officially has an industrial district. https://flic.kr/p/2nyQBjN -
Avonmore
July 13, 2022. Took off a bit early this afternoon and went for a 50km ride to Avonmore, where I spotted this flower across the street while having a snack at Barkley's store. https://flic.kr/p/2nyNFJt -
Tall Milkweed
January 12, 2022. We are becoming experts at growing milkweed. This plant is almost as tall as I am! That doesn't mean we're awash in butterflies, though. I think I saw one earlier this year, that's it. It's like they don't exist any more. So terribly ... -
Back Yard
July 11, 2022. This is my back yard. We've had a lot of rain this year and where in previous years our back yard has looked like a desert, this year it looks like a jungle. Don't know what the neighbours think, but honestly, manicured lawns are over-ra... -
Baie Noire
July 10, 2022. We went for our hike around the Baie Noire segment of Parc national de Plaisance. Nice day, warm and clear, and we did 8 kilometers stopping frequently for photos. This will be my last hike with the old shoes; my feet have been sore and ... -
Dunning Road
July 9, 2022. This is a nice house along Dunning Road near Navan. I went on a nice long ride today up to Pendleton, along the Prescott-Russell trail toward the city, and then back down Dunning through Limoges. Beautiful day for a ride. https://flic.kr/... -
Cow
July 8, 2022. Just a local cow sheltering under a tree. Still way behind uploading photos. Still completely focused on this article. Also, the charger for my best camera stopped working, so I'm relying on my Fujifilm X-T200 now. https://flic.kr/p/2nyqU9g -
Red Winged Blackbird
July 7, 2022. One of our local red winged blacjbirds. I'm *really* lagging behind uploading daily photos. We got back from Toronto, got fibre internet, and I've been totally engrossed getting my article written. https://flic.kr/p/2nypyqK -
Fibre
July 6, 2022. It took three trucks and half a day, but we were the first in our neighbourhood to get hooked up to fibre internet. Bell hadn't even been advertising it yet; I just checked for availability and there it was! It's connected now and I am li... -
Day lilies
July 5, 2022. These are day lilies in our back yard (I'm still wondering why people move out to the country and then try to make their yard resemble a city as much as possible). I spent a full day writing today. https://flic.kr/p/2nwD2DL -
Farfalle
July 3, 2022. After a very disappointing burger at the hotel the night before, this pasta was a welcome surprise. We had one more game of baseball weekend, another loss - but nobody is blaming the Jays for anything this weekend, as we all learned (once... -
The Voyage Home
July 4, 2022. We had some time this morning so we took a wander around the city, then got on the train for home. This is a view of Lake Ontario out the window. I got a fair amount of work done on the train - the wireless was OK until people started str... -
Vlad and Dad
July 2, 2022. We got our bobbleheads. There were two games on Saturday and the giveaway was the first day. There were some nervous moments in a long line, as they were only giving them out to the first 15,000 through the gates. We were in the 200 level... -
Canada Day
July 1, 2022. This was the scene at the ball park on Canada Day. We took the train first thing in the morning, arriving in Toronto early enough to catch the game (it's four hours from Fallowfield; you can't do that to downtown Toronto in a car). We wer... -
RedBlacks
June 30, 2022. The view from our seats at the RedBlacks game. It ended in another loss, with the team a bit ragged, but it was still entertaining. After the game we did not go home, instead staying at a hotel near the train station in preparation for a... -
Daylily
June 29, 2022. This is a daylily in our back yard surrounded by tall grass, goldenrod and milkweed. We're still awaiting the monarch butterflies. Maybe there will be none. But we have a very healthy milkweed crop this year, so if the butterflies come, ... -
Milkweed
June 28, 2022. This is a milkweed plant with flower on our front lawn. Yes, I said front lawn. It has grown a little wild. But here's what's weird - our neighbour has been mowing more and more of our front lawn ever since we moved in seven years (has i... -
Quiet Day at the Cheese Factory
June 27, 2022. On the weekends this restaurant and store would be pack, but on a Monday afternoon at the St. Albert Cheese Co-op it's pretty quiet (though with a steady stream of local customers going in and out). It's a regular stop for me when I do m... -
Frog Bothering
June 26, 2022. This is a path in Warwick Forest and in every one of the puddles (we've had a lot of rain) there are frogs. So Andrea has been sneaking up on them to try to take photos, but the frogs are too, um, jumpy. It was another brilliant hot day.... -

Nao Trinidad
June 24, 2022. This afternoon we drove down to Brockville to enjoy the tall ships festival, taking a cruise during the Parade of Sails on the Empire Sandy and having dinner on one of the Thousand Island dinner cruises. The weather was about as good as ... -
In the Country
June 22, 2022. Just another field with trees along county road 13 on the way back from St. Albert. Made a TikTok video here. I just wanted to capture how much I like it out here, living in the country. More work on my emerging theories page, and that's... -
Do Not Push
June 21, 2022. I don't know who looks at the back of a dump truck like this and says "Yeah I want to push that." I spent most of the day today working on my emerging theories article (doesn't look like I'll make the deadline - I should have learned by ... -
Touchette Bridge
June 20, 2022. This bridge is part of my regular ride to St. Albert and points east - it's on a nice quiet road (rte 650) safe and pleasant for cyclists. However, with a tender recently being awarded, it will be closed for a year in a matter of days an... -
Four Spotted Skimmer
June 19, 2022. We spotted this beauty in the north Limerick Forest, near Merrickville, along Scotch Line Road. We had a nice 6.7 km hike through the forest, getting to a viewing station overlooking the Wolford Bog. Nice walk, lots of flowers, insects a... -
Expedition Complete
June 18, 2022. This is the scene at the end of Expedition 7 in No Man's Sky (at least for me, it's different for everyone). I was planning to cycle today but after the late night and kind of a tough week I just stayed indoors and finished the expeditio...
