Let's Make Some Art, Dammit

July 17, 2024. This is the latest photo of my self-starting potato in my office. I've given it some dirt and lots of water. I'll be away for a couple of weeks so who knows whether it will make it. But I'm giving it the best chance. https://flic.kr/p/2q5b9cz

July 14, 2024. This is Rideau Street at the Bay. It was so hot we went mall walking instead of hiking, bought some essential stuff, and stayed cool. https://flic.kr/p/2q5bEnk

July 13, 2024. This is the St. Lawrence River near the Long Sault parkway. It was a bright brilliant and very hot day today, and because people were driving so badly I decided to stick to off-road bicycle trails, so I went from the Lost Villages memorial to Upper Canada Village and back, roughly 50 km. https://flic.kr/p/2q3YvE7

July 12, 2024. We drove home from Tremblant today, sadly. But we were back early enough that I could get out for a short ride. This is a fenceline I see every time I do the St. Albert loop. https://flic.kr/p/2q41mQh

July 11, 2024. This is the Riviere Rouge at Brebuf, which I finally visited by bicycle. That wan't my plan, but there was a lot of construction on the P'tit Train du Nord trail between Tremblant and Labelle, so I took an alternate - and much longer, and much hillier - route back. Almost 70 km, but more importantly, about 400 m elevation gain. https://flic.kr/p/2q3MynU

July 9, 2024. A small pond reflects this dense forest along the P'tit Train du Nord trail near Mont Blanc. Woke up not feeling well, so I stayed in for a bit while Andrea started up the mountain. Felt well enough to do 40 km down the trail and back east of Tremblant. Felt better in the evening. https://flic.kr/p/2q3imUJ
