Canada Goose

Image
March 17, 2024. We went out to the Upper Canada Migratory Bird Sanctuary today for a short walk in the rain and snow pellets to take photos of birds. Even with the big lens, it's still pretty hard to do. Other than that, today was a work day. https://flic.kr/p/2pDRffx

Feleena's

Image
March 13, 2024. This is a decoration inside Feleena's, a Mexican restaurant across from the bike shop. They had to drill out the broken bit of extender in order to fit my bike pedals back in. I also paid a visit to an accountant to get started on taxes. I ended up booking time off today as a personal day to get this done (though it could just as easily have been called a mental health day). https://flic.kr/p/2pDCcWd

Stranded

Image
March 12, 2024. This is a spot alongside a road a shade under 10 km away from home. It's where I was stranded when the pedal on my bicycle broke off and went flying. It wasn't the pedal that broke, it was just an extender. Took a taxi home. Still - even a 10 km bike ride helped my spirits improve. https://flic.kr/p/2pDAUdH

Helmets

Image
March 11, 2024. A stack of mini batting helmets that were filled with ice cream at a Blue Jays game. Watching or listening to spring training games is one of my favourite parts of the season. Today was another day with struggling productivity, but in the evening, after some email back and forth, I tweaked the website I was working on and maybe - just maybe - fixed it. https://flic.kr/p/2pDzJv6

Cardinals

Image
March 10, 2024. Snow. Even worse than the day before. We didn't even hike because of the weather. I did a little bit of work. But still spent most of it playing video games. No cycling, obviously. The cardinals were nice though. https://flic.kr/p/2pDzEU3

Woodpecker

Image
March 9, 2024. Rain. No biking today. A quick photo of a woodpecker on the feeder, that's my creativity for the day. Spent the Saturday playing video games even though I should be fixing a website. Not that people are actually using the website. Despair. https://flic.kr/p/2pDBeYf

Crab Apple

Image
March 8, 2024. The crab apple tree in the evening light in the back yard. This time of year it doesn't take much to send my emotions spinning; in this case it was an issue with a website that sent me into despair. So here I ham now uploading this photo a week late. Still not 100% out of it, but I feel like this tree - hanging on, but still covered in lichen. https://flic.kr/p/2pDBQnX
