Beautiful day for a train ride

Beautiful day for a train ride
I mean, if you want to look out the window. You could sleep if you want, too. Your choice. It's pretty boring until Kingston anyway.

There she goes!

♫ My Katie takes the Windsor train... ♫

Like I told her: I'm good at train stations. Airports make me cry for no reason, though. Thank goodness she took the train :)

Well, new-to-us. And it wasn't that epic, either. I was only out for half an hour, round trip.

Papa Joe's is just up the street from here this year. Last year, they were just *down* the street.

April snow brings May...uh...um...

Just leaned out the front door and took this. Whee! I don't have to go anywhere today, so I'm happy!

My favorite little Walking Guy

My favorite little Walking Guy
On Cornwall Island, on the way to the second bridge when you cross into the US from Cornwall. I took this while I was driving, and it barely made it into the shot. One day I'll get a better picture of my favorite little Walking Guy. It's like he's wearing a Boyfriend Sweater.

Took a dishcloth with me to the Sens game. I can mostly knit these without looking.

I don't know what her name is, or what kind of weird skin disease she's got. She seems nice enough, though.

Not one of Jenn's horses - this guy was at the farm we visited in Summerstown. He's really friendly, though...unless you're a parrot.

This was taken on our last class of the last session. Such fun!

365.076 - Pinball wizard
I'm not into video games, RPGs, board games, or organized sports (I don't PLAY hockey, I just follow it). I go weak in the knees about pinball games, though. Do you know how hard it is to find pinball games these days? Ones that work? This one is Spider Man. I've only got the 3rd highest score, but given enough time and pocket change, I'll nab all the high scores!

365.055 - Dancer's bazaar in Ottawa
Jenn, Sandra, Michelle, and I went up to Ottawa on Sunday to a Dancer's Bazaar, where lots of jewelry, videos, music, and hip scarves were for sale. I already have a hip scarf, so I didn't get anything, but I had a good time and got to look at all kinds of neat stuff.

365.054 - catch-up - snow, again
Looks like I didn't take any pictures on Saturday, so this one from Sunday morning will have to do. I like taking pictures of the plows and snowblowers and stuff, just because Cincinnati doesn't have the plow army that Ontario does. This is one of the smaller plows - the ones that clean the 401 are like army tanks.

And then to the International Cheese and Deli. I hope John Cleese is there.

365.045 - Eatin' each other's beavertails
Jenn had stuff to do in Ottawa today, so we visited the nation's capital and went to places I hadn't been before - the Byward Market and Sparks Street. I love it there. And beavertails are OMG yummy.

Rideau Canal

Rideau Canal
It's kind of not frozen right now. Today was sort of not the day to show up if you wanted to go to Winterlude (that wasn't our purpose, so it's all good).

Well, there's Parliament

And look! A bus! Maybe that one actually has people on it.

Sparks Street

Or part of it, anyway.

Rowr!

Right across from our parking place

Right across from our parking place
It's Zaphod Beeblebrox, home of the Pangalactic Gargleblaster!

Look! A hotel!

Fri, 13 Feb 2009 04:16:03 GMT

Look! A hotel!
It's a fancy place, but I can't remember the name. It's right across from the Parliament building.

Hey look, a ghost!

The ghost image makes the truck look as spooky as the fog.

365.044 - Spooky fog

365.044 - Spooky fog
It's warm enough (in the 40s!) for the snow to get all melty and foggy. And look how small the driveway snow banks are! Gosh, we can even see the street.

I'm so easily excited when cameras work.

Darren mugged for the camera before we headed back to the house.

This Subway looks like it should be standing in a field, but it's just next to a MacEwen gas station.

This is me, standing next to a small snowbank in the Loeb's parking lot. I'm 5'8.

This is the street we live on. We haven't seen the actual pavement for over a week. For the Cincinnati folks back home, I still need to get a shot of a proper snow plow and a sidewalk snowblower.

365.015 The Junk in the Backseat

You'd have thunk we were moving. Nope, just transporting pillows.

The ride home

Wed, 14 Jan 2009 20:32:46 GMT

The ride home
Trying to show the pile of junk in the backseat - really, it seems bigger because we bought pillows. I'm not good at not being in the picture from this angle. See me craning my neck to try to get OUT of the picture?

That's the big town around here

4 exits for a town of less than 50,000. Cute, huh?

Light snow, my foot.

Light snow, my foot.
In the ongoing war between me and the Weather Network, I offer up this as evidence that I'm right and the Weather Network is on crack. Who drives into a ditch during flurries and light snow? It might not have been a blizzard, but it was definitely a snowstorm.

365.007 - Whoah, Canada
Darren and his dad watching the Canada vs Sweden game (aka Ketchup vs Mustard). Canada (Ketchup) won. It wasn't the game I expected to see, but Canada got the gold (sorry, Catrin!). There were some iffy plays, I think.

Day 5--Where am I?

Day 5--Where am I?
I'm 800 miles away from my family on Christmas, that's where I am. Bah, humbug.

7 Days - Day 2. Winter Solstice.

7 Days - Day 2. Winter Solstice.
Well, I got the winter part, anyway. I can totally explain the look on my face. In the absence of a tripod, I sat the camera on the roof of my car, and I swear I thought it was starting to slide off. I actually squeezed the remote because I was ready to run and catch it.

If you can't see the road, just drive between the rows of mailboxes

Darren's uncle is on vacation over Christmas, so naturally, there's a giant Frake Attack and we have to brave the elephants to feed his cats.

I mean elements. Brave the elements.

I don't think this roof will support another snowfall

Looking into the barn at the bowed and broken support beams.

Humans probably shouldn't be walking around in this barn

All the leaning and broken support beams, the bowed roof...I was thankful there weren't any high winds today.

Pawprints going away from the barn

The large prints at the bottom are mine, but the small ones are not.

Whose toes are those?

I'm holding out hope that it's Little Man. I went up there today, but didn't see any cats.
