    by
    July 18, 2021. We went to Petrie Island on the Ottawa River for our hike today, a little more than 6 km but with a lot to see and photograph. First time I've been there, but I'll be sure to return. Super-nice photo set, available here. https://flic.kr/...

    by
    July 11, 2021. As seen in Stony Swamp Trail (NCC 25) where we went for an 8 km hike today. The trail varied between a wide bike pathway to a narrow path alternative between roots, stones and mud. Great hike. Felt much better today now that all my syste...

    Recovery Day

    by
    July 10, 2021. These are mallows in the front yard. I ventured outside today all of 30 seconds to take the photo. Adjusting to my second Covid vaccine took the rest of the day as my immune system kicked into high gear, making me tired, sore and head-ac...
