    Downy Woodpecker

    by
    May 15, 2024. Downy woodpecker on the feeder in the back yard. Not the greatest photo because I took it out the window with my phone. Worked from home today but it was too rainy to go biking. https://flic.kr/p/2pS6un1

    Prescott-Russell Trail

    by
    May 16, 2024. This is a typical scene along the Prescott-Russell trail. I put in a full day of work and then at 4 took off for a good three hours along the trail. Best ride of the year! It was warm (finally!) and mostly sunny, hardly any wind, and I'v...

    I am not a sink

    by
    May 14, 2024. This is not a sink. That said, it's not clear what it is. It's located in the Thai Express near where I work and where I had lunch today, on the counter where we empty our garbage and stack our trays. It serves no purpose other than to n...

    Sparrow

    by
    May 13, 2024. Sparrow on the pavement, posing for a photo. I was in the office today, having an off day as a result of an argument yesterday. I worked on my newsletter and the CList project a bit. https://flic.kr/p/2pS6n5k

    CITY CADENCE – Chapter 1- SKYLINE, ROOFTOP – Views

    by
    ?listen to the audio on ?  Sachsenhäuser Berg, in the mid-90s, buzzed with life atop the grounds of Henninger Bräu. The air was electric with the pulse of a massive party, and the stage was ablaze with D-Flame, passionately rapping about another day. The crowd undulated as one entity, their hands rising in synchronized waves… Continue reading CITY CADENCE – Chapter 1- SKYLINE, ROOFTOP – Views

    Apple Blossoms

    by
    May 10, 2024. More apple blossoms, these near the place where I had lunch by the Costco. Another office day today; I was able to work on a neat idea I've been puttering with, a convergent discussion list. I'm doing it all in Javascript, which is a cha...

    A Room Becomes A Turntable

    by
    For today’s Daily Create, the prompt was to “remix your world” using an image. I had a photo of an empty basement, where my band used to practice, and when I did a little tinkering in LunaPic, the room became a turntable (by accident). And of course, a turntable requires some scratching. Peace (and sound), […]

    Apple Blossoms

    by
    May 9, 2024. We have one tree outside our office building that flowers every year and I think is an apple tree. Anyhow, here are the blossoms. Generally unproductive today because I'm working in the office but I did finish revising my literature revie...

    Mourning Dove

    by
    May 8, 2024. This morning dove is perched at the top of the gazebo in our back yard. The weather has turned and it was rainy and cool today, a good day to work indoors all day, starting in early morning with an Agora session with my European partners,...

    Repairs

    by
    May 7, 2024. Repairs underway at one of Casselman's main intersections, right near the highway, spotted as I headed out on my afternoon bike ride. I traded some free time on a Tuesday afternoon for work time on a rainy Saturday. https://flic.kr/p/2pRs...

    Four Poems: Moth, Silence, Flower, Flood

    by
    Here are four poems from today and yesterday. The one above is from the Daily Haiku prompts off Mastodon, where today’s prompt was “moth.” This second is inspired by a poem shared by Terry, along with some explanations and possibilities and the concept of a “silence map” took hold in my mind. A third poem […]

    Thrasher

    by
    May 6, 2024. This is a thrasher in our back yard. Becautiful day today, so I worked in the morning (newsletter stuff) and spent the afternoon on a bike ride to Reveler conservation area. https://flic.kr/p/2pQy2zc

    Ride for CHEO

    by
    May 5, 2024. I'm in this picture, behind another rider, in a distinctive green-yellow rain jacket. Andrea took the photo as the peloton rode past. It was cold and windy and rainy and a lot of fun and we raised more than $2 million for the hospital. ht...

    Julia

    by
    May 4, 2024. This is Julia in her little 'cave' on the shelf behind my chair in the kitchen. It's a nice safe place for her and she can be close by and yet feel protected. A rainy Saturday; I stayed in, got a little work done, and tried to relax. Just...

    May 2, 2024. Scene from the road just north of St. Albert in late afternoon. Worked from the home office today - had an early morning presentation for the Europe project, then settled into a regular day of work. At the end of the day I was able to get...

    Daily Create: DawnRise

    by
    The prompt for today’s DS106 Daily Create was about a “dawn chorus” and I patched together a little song with an image of a dawn over a horse farm I drive by every day on my way to school. Peace (and quiet), Kevin

    Helmet

    by
    April 30, 2024. My RedBlacks helmet, on a shelf in the home office. It fits, but it's a very tight fit. Nice to know I'll be protected if a football game ever breaks out. Another day of pedal to the metal - today was a Day of Four Meetings (plus an ap...
