Strange on a Saturday

I feel like I should have a cape or throw stars.

I am obsessed with taking pictures of my feet. Everyone's feet, really. I think it has to do with the idea that they keep us grounded.

They show us where we have been, where we are, and where we are going. 

Well, you can tell where I was headed this day.

Final Friday in Ottawa

It was lovely to be in Ottawa again. The sun was shining almost all weekend,

and so I got to wander around and see my favourite sights...

(Strathcona Park)

... and some of my favourite people.

Gotta love the bikers, sharing the Ottawa roads and walkways.

This trip to Ottawa was actually relaxing, for a change. Certainly, I didn't get to see everyone that I wanted to see, but I got some important things done, including getting good news from a doctor and moving the rest of my belongings from storage. The rest was pure enjoyment.

Thanx to all who made it such a wonderful weekend. I will never forget that it is you who make me miss my former home, and that you continue to warrant many more visits. Despite this, I am happy to have cut ties and to have said goodbye in such a good way that, alas, I won't be returning to Ottawa for some time.

Outward and onward, I say, and I am really looking forward to it.

Apologies for Delays

Some may say that today is momentous. That they may never have dared to dream that it could happen. Because today I must apologize for my lack of pictures. You see, I am having trouble with my camera, and have been since Thursday, when I took the picture below. Since that faithful day, my camera has grown its own personality. It has now decided that it will only relinquish some pictures, from time to time, but only if it feels like it. Sure, it will tease you and show you a preview of the nice pictures, but it refuses to follow through and give up the goods.

So I have spent several days attempting to fix this, and, after many painful measures, I have been able to extract a few pictures from the beast. Nothing spectacular, though, and not much of my trip to Ottawa this weekend. So, please be patient with my postings. I would like to add fresh content, as that is the purpose of this blog, and so I will work hard to fix this.

In the meantime, and with no further ado, I present to you the picture that breathed life and a rather stubborn personality into my camera:

Thursday. Carapace on the Curb.
