    Julia Looking Out

    by
    July 8, 2021. This is Julia checking out the bird life in the back yard. Worked on a paper today but I'm finding it a struggle to write. I've decided, I think, that I need a vacation - so, one more week or work and then that's it for the summer. https:...

    Inside Emma’s Mouth

    by
    July 9, 2021. Emma and Char were snuggled together in the box, which by itself was a great photo, and then Emma decided to raise the stakes. Today I got my second vaccine, bought a power bank, and attended a longish meeting in the afternoon. https://fl...

    Milkweed

    by
    July 7, 2021. We have dedicated almost our entire back yard to milkweed in an effort to help the monarch butterflies. It doesn't seem to be helping. They were numerous two years ago, but much fewer last year, and this year I've only seen a couple. None...

    Lilies

    by
    July 6, 2021. These are daylilies growing in the back yard (we also have some in front) and they grow wild all over this area. I took this photo after a quick bike ride to St. Albert and back. Finished a paper draft today; it still needs a lot of work,...

    Egg and Bacon Flower

    by
    July 5, 2021. This is our front lawn, right next to the driveway, an assortment of wildflowers that looks nicer than any manicured lawn. Took a rest day after all the cycling and walking on the weekend, let my sore muscles heal, and focused on working ...

    Chipmunk

    by
    July 4, 2021. Many nice photos today, but this chipmunk wins the day only because there were so many on our walk we were actually tripping over them! This was out on the Lime Kiln trail in the western Greenbelt, which ranged from forest to beaver dam t...

    Alexandria

    by
    July 3, 2021. The thistle is probably the most appropriate image for my ride today which took me on a 107 km loop through the north of Glengarry county, stopping in Dunvegan, Alexandria and Maxville. I pushed against the wind the first 50 km out there,...

    Maxville

    by
    July 2, 2021. This is the scene on a country road just west of Maxville. I took a lot more care before leaving on my ride today, making sure I had two spare tubes, a proper pressure gauge, batteries charged, etc. and had a much nicer ride. It was prett...

    Sandtown

    by
    July 1, 2021. South and west of Finch is the former town of Sandtown, once the site of sand quarries, now mostly peaceful agricultural land. This piece of equipment is a reminder of the early days. I had a tough 70 km ride today, complete with a flat, ...

    Design Blitz

    by
    First let me say what I originally intended what some of these images to be. Now, several of these images can be classified as others, bear in mind this is just my own interpretation of them. For the flowers, I choose it for the color. The do not enter sign I choose to be selected [ā€¦]

    A Pair of Finches

    by
    June 30, 2021. These are male and female purple finches enjoying our new feeder. Days like this I wish I had a better lens to capture them. But I'm still pretty happy with this photo. I did a little work on my paper and learned that while one A&W m...

    Fibre?

    by
    June 28, 2021. This is a telecom truck out front running cable. Is it fibre? What else could it be? No idea. Ironically, I'm also testing a modem for TechSavvy, which means that the internet signal was interrupted at exactly the time the truck was out ...
