Let's Make Some Art, Dammit

January 21, 2026. Dim Sun. I'm in the city early for a medical appointment (nothing serious). It's a cold morning with low haze. Snow is forecast. I'll be working in the office this afternoon helping with a research ethics board review. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/87khTIY

January 20, 2026. Temptations. This is the snack display at Starbucks. I'm pondering the use of colour and design to tempt people into impulse buys. I did not buy any of these. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/Z704Fcl

January 18, 2026. Woodpecker. We went snowshoeing in the woods today - it was a beautiful sunny day just a few degrees below zero. The birds were out in full force. So were the skiers and other snowshoers. #SDDaily #photography. URL: https://ift.tt/WbPj4lN

January 17, 2026. Cardinal and Junco. Just another snowy eastern Ontario winter day with birds settling in on the feeder. Doing a Costco run this morning then getting some work done in the afternoon. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/ALzbdP1

January 16, 2026. Batteries. At the drug store to pick up some meds and find a blood pressure monitor. Another office day, unusually productive. Also scoped out induction stoves at Best Buy. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/odyMqGT

January 13, 2026. Lenses. Working from the home office today. These are a few camera lenses I use on a regular basis. The 50mm is maybe the highest quality I own but it's unfortunately heavy. Anyhow, I started on my VPS video series today as I restructure my online presence. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/KGq0Rzh

January 9, 2025. Mourning Doves. No idea why the camera couldn't put the obvious object of my photo into focus, but there it is. Today was another office day and I got some evaluations off my desk. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/HybtI0g

January 8, 2026. Elevator. Another day in the office, which these days resembles The Big Bang Theory with the elevator closed indefinitely. Oh well, the stairs are probably good for me. But it's not what I expected when people asked management to restore the exercise facility that was closed during Covid. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/l9cAMZU

January 7, 2026. Factory. Another day at the office. I still can't help but be fascinated by the industrial-like surroundings I find myself in. It's like the opposite of academia. Of course, I feel like a fish out of water when I'm at a university as well. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/Pj4hsyM

January 6, 2026. Ricolas. The CPAP user's best friend. Also a way to get a photo after another indoor day in the depths of winter. Gotta get out more. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/F34it02

January 3, 2026. Curry. This is my curry sauce - garlic, onions, tomatoes, chives, hot peppers, spices - before I put in the bulkier ingredients - eggplant, carrots, mushrooms. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/Sg2f0Yr

January 2, 2026. Waiting for the train in Casselman on the way home from Costco. We both liked all the red lights in the dim afternoon light. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/ICdpByq

January 1, 2026. This little bird is thanking me for providing its New Years Day supper. https://flic.kr/p/2rQiQSb January 01, 2026 at 07:50AM

December 31, 2025. New Years Eve bonus pics. I caught Char and Julia napping in the bedroom. And I caught this chonk woodpecker at the feeder. It's almost certainly a female hairy woodpecker, judging by the size and markings. We went into the city today and Andrea got a set of pots while I got a pair of heated gloves. #SDDaily.

December 30, 2025. A Moving Cat. Another indoor day as the weather is a bit off. Enjoying the break. Tried to photograph Charlemagne but he wouldn't keep still. #SDDaily. URL: https://ift.tt/xPDv9R0
