GIFvasion of the Body Snatchers
The 33 1/3 book on Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables referenced a Rebecca Solnit essay, Rattlesnake in Mailbox: Cults, Creeps, California in the 1970s, which declared Invasion of the Body Snatchers to be “1978’s definitive film.” This meant I needed … Continue reading -
Maxville
May 14, 2022. This is the distinctive tartan-clad water tower in Maxville., I cycled there and back today, 57km total, with 30 degree heat and a light breeze. The ride was a bit slower because I paused to take video a number of times, creating a YouTub... -
New Crop
May 13, 2022. This is just outside Casselman, and is typical of some of the gigantic soybean fields we have around here. It's changed a lot from when I was young and all of this was divided into fields and 100 acre farms. Today I gave a presentation on... -

Bretzler Family Farm
May 10, 2022. This farm is on the long way back from St.Albert. If you were wondering, this is what farms look like these days - the traditional barns and silos are a thing of the past. Beautiful warm day (at last!) and quite pleasant to cycle. Mostly ... -
Spring Azure
May 8, 2022. This is a spring azure butterfly, small, flighty, hard to capture. With wings closed, like this, it looks a little brown, but when they're flying you see the bright purple. We went to Bank Street to pick up some bicycle tubes (and ended up... -
Celebration of Life

Bridge Over Untroubled Waters
May 6, 2022. Just a small backyard bridge I spotted on my bike ride through St.Albert. Other than the bike ride, my day was spent working on data literacy, which is so close to being done. https://flic.kr/p/2njc1tJ -

Brown Thrasher
May 4, 2022. Andrea came rushing into my office saying, "There's a new kind of bird." She was quite right; it was a brown thrasher, which we haven't seen before. Got new slippers today. Tried to start a No Man's Sky Circumnavigation project that may ha... -
Nation Behind a Tree
May 3, 2022. This is a view of the Nation River along my cycling route (the usual 25km to St. Albert). Still practicing with the camera. Started the day with a couple of meetings, which means I'm not generally very productive thereafter. https://flic.k... -

Trees and Pond
April 30, 2022. This is a pond at the far end of King Street in Limoges, right at the dead end near the highway. I was more concerned about learning teh Fujufilm X-T200 camera than getting great composition, so this is testing exposure, iso, depth of f... -
You Know You’re in Farm Country When…
April 29, 2022. This is a large tractor coming down the street in St. Albert, where I am on my normal 25 km training ride. Warmer today, but still pretty windy. Definitely not nice summer conditions. Still working on data literacy, though I made much l... -
Char on the Cardboard
April 27, 2022. I don't know what it is about cats and cardboard, but they are unnaturally attracted to it. Working on the appendices of my data literacy report today - a sign that it's almost done! https://flic.kr/p/2nhC1t8 -
Muskrat
April 28, 2022. I thought it was a groundhog at first, but the muskrat's hairless tail is distinctive. Taken alongside the Nation River on a quick loop to St.Albert and back. Cold today and windy. Good progress today on the appendices. https://flic.kr/... -

String Time
