    Broken Wheel

    by
    May 17, 2025. Already shared on Mastodon but for everyone else, here's what happened to my bikepacking test run. It may have just been an over-inflated tire (I had issues with that with the same rim in 2023) or overloaded or both. In any case, the rim...

    Farm

    by
    April 24,2025. Another late photo. This is a scene near the bridge over the Nation river east of Casselman. Another work-from-home day, which means I can spend two hours cycling instead of commuting. https://flic.kr/p/2r4eBNm

    Fence and Swamp

    by
    April 21, 2025. Catching up an old picture (I take the pictures, but then I don't upload them). This is from a nice Monday afternoon bike ride - this is what I get to do when I'm not spending two hours community to the office. https://flic.kr/p/2r3S4iN

    Ducks

    by
    April 20, 2024. Ducks in the swamp in Monaghan Forest, in south-west Ottawa near Fallowfield. We went there for our hike today. It was nice, still very early spring conditions. A lot of it was still flooded. https://flic.kr/p/2qYScGg

    Creek

    by
    April 19, 2025. Small creet where it crosses the back road just north of St. Albert. The turquoise water is a sure sign it's all snow melt. Went for a 25 km ride today - planned to go further, but found I just didn't have the energy to battle the stro...

    Supper

    by
    March 29, 2025. This is a typical supper for me. Salmon with kumatos, scallions, and my home-made curry (garlic, oil, peppers, spices, onions, tomatoes, carrots, mushrooms, eggplant, rutabaga). The asparagus is extra, because we got it in our OddBunch...

    Warm Front

    by
    April 18, 2025. The sky put on a show today as I went out for my fourth ride of the year, a 40 km jaunt to St. Isadore and back. This was along Concession Road 19 near Ste. Rose. It was a bit cool with a light rain. https://flic.kr/p/2qYy8uR

    Lime Kiln Trail

    by
    April 13, 2025. A stretch of boardwalk on the Lime Kiln train where we went for our Sunday hike. The trail is in the west end, just off Moodie Drive. It's a rocky area alternating between swamp and cedar forest, and was the victim of a forest fire in ...

    Crysler Pond

    by
    April 12, 2025. Little swampy pond just north of the village of Crysler. Git out for a 37 km ride today on a cool day with a brisk wind. Not bad for my second ride of the year, but I look forward to being in better shape for some longer rides. https:/...

    Julia at the Vet

    by
    April 11, 2025. We took Julia to the vet at noon today for her annual checkup. Normally we would take her with the other cats, but she was well entrenched under the bed and not budging, so we had to reschedule. All is fine with the cats, and they've h...

    Patches

    by
    April 10, 2025. Liiking back at the admin building from near the parking lot where I work. The snow from the previous day is melting in an unusual patchy style. https://flic.kr/p/2qXmkcY
