Cat Basketball

Image
September 26, 2022. Actually, Charlemagne was chasing a fly or moth or something. In addition to being polydactyl, with giant opposable thumbs, he also very agile on his hind legs. Today was kind of a quiet day, doing one presentation, getting another one ready, and documenting a third that I did last week. https://flic.kr/p/2nPt9jB

Wasp and White Flowers

Image
September 25, 2022. Fall flowers were out in the Reveler Conservation Area, where we went for a short walk today (couldn't do a lot after a late night return from football). My camera ran out of power after three photos, so I relied on my phone, which was a bit of a blunt instrument for this task. https://flic.kr/p/2nPt7Rw

RedBlacks

September 24, 2022. This was the high point of an absolute dog of a football game (though the Argos played really well and their fans should be proud). 42 of the 45 points scored by the Argos were scored on RedBlacks turnovers, including (I think) five interceptions. The first two plays of the game the offense got its signals mixed up - this after two solid weeks of practice. Pretty clearly a coaching issue. Anyhow, I also saw a giant cricket, so there's that. https://flic.kr/p/2nPrviX

September 23, 2022. This beauty is hanging out on the outdoor side of the bathroom window screen. Friday after a long, stressful and exhausting week. https://flic.kr/p/2nPtEp7

Dunvegan

Image
September 17, 2022. Photo from my bike ride through Dunvegan on a beautiful; Saturday afternoon. I also made it through Maxville and Moose Creek, but didn't quite make it home - I had to walk the last 3 km because of flat tires. Still, a nice 73 km ride. https://flic.kr/p/2nNn2fW

Thin Blue Line

Image
September 14, 2022. I saw this 'thin blue line' sticker on the back of a pickup truck in a parking lot. I have thoughts on that: leftish.media/archives/565 https://flic.kr/p/2nM83QY

Wasps' Nest

Image
September 2, 2022. It was a tiny little wasps' nest earlier in the year, but grew to full size over the summer. This is in our crabapple tree in the back yard. https://flic.kr/p/2nM1bEs
