  • Shipping yard cranes

    Had some time by myself today and was walking through Point Pleasant Park in Halifax. The container cranes were standing tall over the harbour with a sail boat going by and an airplane in the sky behind.

  • Duck Pond?

    After my last couple visits to the playground right next to the town pool, it seems this duck has claimed the pool as it’s pond. Still to cold for people, and not yet open to the public for the season, so I guess why not. Make yourself at home, though you may not want to…

  • Signs of Spring

    Visiting friends today for our annual early Easter egg hunt due to some complicated schedules. They live very close to us and while our yard is still covered in snow they have signs of Spring coming up in theirs. This is just one little patch of May crocuses coming up.

  • Office window view

    Early this morning, just as it was starting to get light out, this was the view from my home office window. It always looks nicer when you’re looking out at it rather then out shovelling it.

  • Public gardens

    One of the downfalls of working in a distributed company is not getting to hang out with the cool people you work with nearly enough. So when a close co-worker ends up in our area for a long weekend I was glad we were able to spend some time together. I hadn’t seen her in…

  • Canadian winter stereotype

    Maybe it’s fading memory but I feel like I don’t see this scene as much as I did when I was younger. It felt like if there was a frozen over body of water people were skating on it. Likely climate change is playing a part. Winters don’t seem to have sustained cold like we…

  • Foggy tree lined driveway

    It was really foggy out on my lunch time dog walk. It made things look a bit different then normal, and had the dog on edge a bit because he couldn’t always see things that sounded close by. This tree lined driveway has always made me a bit envious. Having an almost covered path from…

  • Frosty leaf on salty road

    Seems like it wasn’t long that I got over the last bout of what ever, now I’m waking up again coming down with something new. The cold air actually felt good on the walk, but even on the short loop I lost my energy quickly. On the route was this frosty leaf lying in the…

  • ISS fly by

    This was from last night off the back deck again. I’m really liking these night sky pictures. I was a little late getting the camera all set up so I missed some of the start of the track. It still turned out pretty good though catching the International Space Station traveling above the Big Dipper.

  • The night sky

    This is another picture I’ve been wanting to try for a while. Seems like for the past couple weeks at least the sky would cloud over and I wouldn’t be able to. This is a long look at the night sky from our back deck last night. In the middle is Polaris, the North Star,…
