Playground

Beijing, China
November 1, 2017. I spent a quiet day relaxing, watching the ball game, looking at photos, and preparing for the conference. It was good to get a rest after a few exciting stressful days. http://ift.tt/2hvkZu5 -
The Forbidden Cty
October 31, 2017. No one photo could convey scale and scope of the forbidden city. But let me try with this one: this is the outer gatehouse. Behind this is an inner gatehouse, a series of palaces, gardens and much more. The Forbidden City is everythin... -
China
October 30, 2017. My flight landed late this afternoon and I made it into my hotel in the evening, just enough time to grab supper and go to bed. This display is from the hotel. I've already learned one new thing: they like to display big complex rocks... -
Globe
October 29, 2017. This globe is on display in the Air Canada lounge in Toronto. I had planned to photograph some airplanes but I hadn't realized how much our view of the outside would be obscured. Anyhow. Woke up at 4:00 a.m. this morning, with a trans... -
Four Lonely Geese
October 28, 2017. This was just an impulsive snapshot with the 50 mm lens. It's definitely not the thing to use to photograph flying geese. And yet I like this photo a lot. So there you go. Spent the day running errands as we prepared for my trip early... -
The Snap
October 27, 2017. We went to see the RedBlacks game this evening. I was a little underdressed and so not very comfortable, but we had really good seats and it was quite a good game. Accomplishments: - completed slides for my talk next week - competed a... -
Evening Colours
October 28, 2017. In late autumn we get the best colours as the light changes and everything is bathed in a warm yellow-red glow. Accomplishments: - Wrote Let's Take the Diginal License Test http://ift.tt/2zdJ5nA -
Alex
October 23, 2017. Ah, where would we be without cat photos? Nice day today - beautiful summer-like weather. Some meetings this morning, a newsletter with a 'mass' theme, and this afternoon I spent reviewing a paper for a friend. Fun day. Made eggplant ... -
Mystery Leaves
October 23, 2017. I'm not sure what these are, but they're at the back of the back yard. We went into the city to buy clothes. That was my day (plus some more playing of video games). http://ift.tt/2laxwHJ -
Toronto
October 18, 2017. The iconic 'Toronto' sign at City hall in red and white in memory of Gord Downie from the Tragically Hip, as seen from our hotel room. I was never a Hip fan so I didn't feel his death personally, but a lot of people around here did. M... -
Son of Bones
October 20, 2017. For the second year, Son of Bones adorns our front porch. We all remember, of course, Bones, who lasted some 15 years before finally falling apart our first year here in Casselman. Today was a work day, into the office for a meeting a... -
Coneflowers
October 21, 2017. Beautiful fall day. Spent it indoors playing No Man's Sky. It was a good day to rest after a very busy week. But I did get out a bit photograph the coneflowers. Also was delighted to see the Yankees lose last night. http://ift.tt/2zH1... -
Conference
October 19, 2017. Day four of the conference. I haven't been outdoors since we got here. But it has been an excellent conference, one of the best I've ever attended. I gave my second talk today, which from my perspective was a huge success. Then after ... -
Rory McGreal and Terry Anderson

Downtown
October 12, 2017. I did some more work on server virtualization today, did some editing on a paper, and went downtown to pick up my Chinese visa. This butterfly was on the fencing around a construction site on Bank Street and summed up my mood for the ... -

Maple Leaves
October 11, 2017. My big Contact North paper came out late this afternoon. It occupied several months of weekends to pull together. I spent the day working on the newsletter, reading 1930s textbooks, and evaluating a funding proposal. http://ift.tt/2gx...
