    Centretown

    by
    January 11, 2024. This is some artwork on a fence around a vacant lot at the corner of Bank and Lisgar in Ottawa's Centretown. It's the site of a future condo, supposedly, though the fence is old enough to be seen on Google Maps. I was in the area to ...

    Snowmen and Reindeer

    by
    January 10, 2024. I spotted these porch decorations on the second of my 'daily' walks this year (it has been tough to get motivated). I spoke a bit with the owner who said he bought the reindeer but that his wife made the snowmen after he cut the wood...

    Office Day

    by
    January 8, 2024. This is my office in the city. There used to be a lot more green but my plants all died during the pandemic and I never replaced them. These days I'm, in the office two out of five days, which makes it hard to find a routine. Not sure...

    2024 Vision board: What’s in and out

    by

    With 2024 in full-swing, I can’t help but look back at 2023 with gratitude and appreciation, with hopes 2024 will live up to expectations. Last year, Evan and I got married in our home town of South Lake Tahoe at Valhalla Tahoe. We missed a few friends, but were primarily surrounded by the ones who […]

    New Beginnings – part two

    by

    January 5, 2024. Tomlinson is the name of the company that owns this equipment, of course. It's a Caterpillar 335 Excavator sitting on the lawn at NRC waiting to be used in some of the construction currently being undertaken. I don't actually know wha...

    Turkish Lamp

    by
    January 2, 2024. While we were in Barrie over Christmas I bought this lamp from a shop featuring Turkish rugs, dishes and lamps. The sparkly shade appealed to me. Anyhow, it now sits here in my home office, adding to the general ambience. Today was a ...

    Chinese Food

    by
    December 14, 2023. This is a selection from the Chinese Food Market next to the Mandarin Restaurant on Ogilvie Road, where I had lunch. It was decidedly mediocre - the spring rolls especially looked like they had been in the freezer for a few years. I...

    D750

    by
    December 12, 2023. This is my tried and true Nikon D750 camera. I've been using this for, I don't know, almost ten years now. It's showing its wear and it has trouble focusing but I've been reluctant to spend money on a replacement because it's hard t...
