    Ottawa River

    by
    April 21, 2024. This is a view of the Ottawa River from the trail. No hike today, no nothing today, yesterday's bike ride left me sore all over, so I spent the day just recovering. https://flic.kr/p/2pMDZ8h

    Maple Sugar Shack

    by
    April 20, 2024. Maple suygar shack near the creek on Longtin Road near Casselman. Went for a bike ride today, only 30 km, but the strong winds and cold weather wiped me out (and gave me a bit of a minor oblique strain). https://flic.kr/p/2pMDZP4

    Home Office

    by
    April 18, 2024. View of the home office, where I'm comfortable and productive. I like half-dead plants, bright lights and open curtains, flags and mementos, electronics, wood and leather. https://flic.kr/p/2pMxCQL

    High Water

    by
    April 16, 2024. Worked from the office today; one meeting, did newsletter posts, a little bit on the cloud site. Thrown off a bit by an in-meeting discussion on stress that felt a little too personal for me. Took a bike ride over the lunch hour, spott...

    Rainbow

    by
    April 15, 2024. Something about April showers. Looking east outside the window after my bike ride as the rain goes away. I choose to think of it as the start of spring. Wrote a presentation proposal today, and newsletter stuff. That is all. https://fl...

    Centrepiece

    by
    April 11, 2024. Today started with a meeting first thing in the morning, and this was the centrepiece on the meeting room table. I had a couple more meetings, but then the network began to sag (looks like they were running updates, to judge by my logs...

    Australia

    by
    April 12, 2024. This is a souvenir from Australia hanging in my office. The plant in front of it is another from my Moncton office. I bought the artwork in Sydney; it was rolled in a tube. When I got home I got it nicely framed to display it the way i...

    Bicycle

    by
    April 9, 2024. The bicycle, photographed during a break on a small country road. We drove home from Bromont this morning, I put in a few hours of work, then I took advantage of the beautiful weather to enjoy a nice ride in the country. https://flic.kr...

    Eclipse

    by
    April 8, 2024. The eclipse, as seen from Bromont, Quebec. With cloud coming in from the west we got up early and drove out to Bromont. They had set up a hill in a park for viewing and conditions were nearly perfect. The photo doesn't do it justice; it...

    Waiting

    by
    April 5, 2024. Grackles and starlings sitting in the top of a tree in the back yard waiting, as we all are, for spring. Woke up very early this morning for one meeting, then had a presentation to do for a second. Meanwhile trying to get the crust off ...

    Snow Day

    by
    April 4, 2024. I did have a meeting scheduled in the city for today, but we had an early spring snowstorm instead, so we made do with Teams. Other than this I focused on cleaning up gRSShopper a bit more and working on my newsletter. https://flic.kr/p...
