    Yarrows

    by
    November 12, 2016. It's hard to believe we still have flowers in the front yard midway through November but there they are. Another quiet day - a quick run to Costco and some Civ.

    Spirit of Australia

    by
    November 10, 2016. This beautiful A-380 was taxiing for take-off at London's Heathrow as I waiting on my own 767 to fly to Ottawa. The connection at Heathrow was an adventure, as usual - my 7:30 a.m. flight out of Beirut was a half hour late, which col...

    Cedar of Lebanon

    by
    November 9, 2016. Last day in Lebanon. Too short a trip. Gave another talk, and after went to the spectacular Jeita Grotto - huge caves just north of the city. Sadly, they don't allow photos (and take your camera so you can't even sneak one),

    Sushi in London

    by
    November 5, 2013. Arrived at Heathrow Saturday and had a three-hour layover and no access, so I spent my time eating far too much Sushi and attempting to connect to decidedly indifferent Heathrow wifi.

    Office Volunteers

    by
    November 3, 2016. In the office doing some last minute work before I'm gone for a bit, including watering these plants. They took over when my flowers died - no idea what they are.

    Toad

    Mer Bleu

    by
    October 30, 2016. We went for a walk along the trail at Ridge Road along the edge of Mer Bleu, just off Anderson Road in Ottawa. Nice walk; we didn't even come close to finishing the trail, so we'll be back.

    Farm Boy

    by
    October 29, 2016. We weren't able to find any pumpkins in town so we decided to go to a Farm Boy in Orleans just to check it out (and look for pumpkins). It was interesting - more than half the store dedicated to fresh food, the rest stocked around the...

    The Tracks

    by
    October 23, 2016. I took some really nice photos of pylons and trees in the sun while we were in the city to pick up prescriptions, but there was no card in the camera. So we get this evening picture of the tracks and the fall colours just outside the ...

    October 24, 2016. Heading out of the office after a pretty productive day, I had about 10 seconds of this light in which to snap the photo. I got two shots and have been agonizing over which one to show. From Flickr http://ift.tt/2ezEwLc
