Let's Make Some Art, Dammit

July 31, 2014. A rubber washer in our shower head is broken and so we have water leaking, which means a trip to Canadian Tire for a replacement (and then to Kent, and finally Home Hardware, because Canadian Tire didn't have one the right size). from Flickr http://ift.tt/1nPy3ba

July 30, 2014. This is Moncton downtown viewed from the university campus. I see this scene every day on my ride home from work. I took the picture this time because I liked the contrast between the clouds and the grass. from Flickr http://ift.tt/1xHrVCR

July 29, 2014. These hardy plants are just outside the office, and no, the bugs in them were not planted by the Chinese. See if you can find the lucky six-petaled Potentilla. from Flickr http://ift.tt/1zsuZp4

July 28, 2014. From my front garden, these orange lilies glow in the dark. I rarely use the flash, but when I do, it's at night. from Flickr http://ift.tt/1nUxSem

July 27, 2014. These two visitors were enjoying the sunshine at Pointe-du-Chêne wharf, talking to people fishing off the pier and looking out over the ocean. For me, it was a 70 km ride today, at an average speed of 21 kph, to the ocean and back. I definitely need a softer bicycle seat. Bonus photo of Shediac Bay. from Flickr http://ift.tt/UE76v6

July 26, 2014. First longish ride on the bike, 50 km in which I managed an average speed of 20 kmph for the first time ever, despite a brutal wind. This is the view from Homestead Road looking out over a small creek and Rum Road in the background. The bike ran well; I need better pedals, a slight adjustment to the seat, and I miss my speedometer - need that. And maybe a bell. from Flickr http://ift.tt/1nJR3ZP

Juky 25, 2014. So here I am opening up the ACE room - 'Advanced Conferencing Environment' - for another program meeting. Screens still dark, coffee cup still full, logging in and setting up. Just 7 km on the bike today but a very fast 7 km. from Flickr http://ift.tt/1nEk1bV
