    Inside the Milkweed

    by
    June 16, 2021. I have some better photos of a milkweed (a href="https://ift.tt/3xoF9dG this) but I really like this accidental look at what's going on inside it, from the milkweed bugs getting it on to the ant in one of the buds. Our backyard is filled...

    A Weed

    by
    June 15, 20921. I asked Andrea what this is and she said 'a weed', which I suppose is technically true, though I think it makes a great photo. Today was another rainy day and I'm still having issues getting productive, though there was a morning meetin...

    Bird on a Wire

    by
    June 14, 2021. It was a thunderstorm day today, as evidenced by this bird balancing on the tangle of wires being buffeted by the wind in front of the house. It's a young robin, just hatched this year, still a bit rough around the edges. My major accomp...

    Simulation – storyboarding and paper prototyping #activelearning

    by
    Photo by Matt Popovich on Unsplash Educational simulation is an interesting and, in my view, underutilised area of active learning. Often associated with technology-based approaches, educational simulation is in fact a broader field. In this broad sense it creates a … Continue reading ?

    Dragonfly

    by
    This is a dragonfly (six-spotted skimmer) from the Reveler Conservation Area, where we went for a short hike this morning. I'm a little stiff from yesterday, but not really very stiff at all. Today was spent watching the ball game and working with phot...

    Kars

    by
    June 12, 2021. This is the United Church in Kars, which is a village across the Rideau River from Osgoode. Kars was the furthest point of my 135 km bike ride today. It's a very quiet community but without any real services, aside from neighbourhood chu...

    Emma

    by
    June 11, 2021. This is Emma photographed up close withthe macro lens. This is the last of my days on European time as I close out my involvement with the FairsFair book sprint. I also had the time this morning (aka noon European time) to do a quick rid...

    Grass

    by
    June 10, 2021. This is the top end of a stalk of grass on the front lawn. We mow the lawn... but not all of the lawn. Today was the last FAIRsFAIR meeting, and then was followed by several hours of AiP program kickoff meeting, during which I got some c...

    Trefoil

    by
    June 8, 2021. This is a birdfoot trefoil along with the tail end of some green insect I don't recognize. I capture a lot of insects on these flower photos, which is funny, because I never see them when I'm actually taking the photo. Same as yesterday: ...

    Ragweed

    by
    June 9, 2021. I think this is some sort of ragweed, though I can't be sure. It's growing alongside the driveway. Still on European time and missing being out in the beautiful summer weather. Though I did get to drive Andrea to the dentist. https://flic...

    Fleabane

    by
    June 7, 2021. This is fleabane, which can be found on both the front and back lawn. I like it, though I guess it's a weed. I've been working on JSON import-export, but as is so often the case, I needed to fix something to make it work, then to fix some...

    At Wonkfest I attended a panel session titled Changing the Culture of Changing the Culture in which Charlotte Summers, who is Head of Commercial Development at the RSA, referred to the RSA’s excellent Future Change Framework. Admittedly, I am a … Continue reading ?
