Farm

Image
April 24,2025. Another late photo. This is a scene near the bridge over the Nation river east of Casselman. Another work-from-home day, which means I can spend two hours cycling instead of commuting. https://flic.kr/p/2r4eBNm

Local Farm

Image
June 17, 2024. Worked from home on a nice Monday and then did a quick loop to St. Albert after. This is a farm just north of St. Albert. https://flic.kr/p/2q1eqUU

Frozen Nation

Image
February 6, 2024. This is the Nation River about 5 km from Casselman. I stopped to get a photo while dropping Andrea off at the dentist. Today was mostly a recovery day, catching up on email that had accumulated during our short trip to Quebec City and figuring out how to eat the most recent trove of vegetables. https://flic.kr/p/2pwNKoM

The Ridge

Image
April 28, 2023. It was a beautiful day today, sunny and warmish, with a moderate east wind, so I decided to cycle today and work over the weekend. I did a loop out to Riceville along the Ridge Road and then back to Casselman through St. Isadore. This is the view north from the ridge looking out over the Natioon River floodplain. https://flic.kr/p/2owUDfz

Dairy Farm

Image
September 27, 2022. This is a Dairy farm on the road to St,. Albert I cycle frequently. Today I completed the third of three presentations within a week, this a panel appearance online. There has been a lull; now I'm relearning the whole process of creating presentation pages on my website. https://flic.kr/p/2nQo61N

Bretzler Family Farm

Image
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 spent the rest of the day cleaning up - work on my data literacy has left my office looking a bit like a bomb hit it. ecoving and organizing again will take several days. https://flic.kr/p/2njXcqU

Soybeans

Image
September 13, 2021. This is a pretty typical scene in the fields around here as the crops mature, a very large field of soybeans (I figured there's probably a billion individual soybeans in the shot). My ride today can after a full day thinking about and preparing for my talk tomorrow morning at the TILT ALT conference. https://flic.kr/p/2mq2YJi

Harvest

Image
July 28, 2020. Got a bunch of newsletter posts done and then headed for a 65 km ride to Moose Creek and Avonmore. This was early in the ride - I actually saw that big part on the front being transported in on a trailer. It has just been attached and they were testing it out. Looks like they have a few hundred acres to do. https://flic.kr/p/2jqTrJo

River Farm

Image
June 15, 2020. This is the first photo of the day in almost a week because last week there were no photos, no bike rides, nothing but ethical codes. Now I'm re-emerging into the world again, starting today with some meetings and a 25km ride to St. Albert. This farm is on the Nation River, just outside Casselman. https://flic.kr/p/2jcj3sT

Farm

May 14, 2018. I was up very early at in the city by seven to spend all day being a judge today at the Canada Wide Science Fair. This is a farm near town. https://flic.kr/p/24qR54G
