Lessons in Patience

Hallgrímskirkja, Reykjavík
Been a little too busy lately to indulge much in extracurricula, so this entry’s going to be brief. I wanted to post this picture of Hallgrímskirkja — Iceland’s most photographed church — a while ago as an example of patience.
Hallgrímskirkja took 38 years to build. 38 years! I haven’t even been on the planet [...]

The sun was beating down but I managed not to get scorched today, thankfully. Starting with a mid-afternoon Intercounty baseball game at Christie Pits, followed by a wander around Port Credit after a batch of fish and chips, then exploring the marshland at Rattray Conservation Area and walking the beaches of Lake Ontario, I was [...]

At the Pub

One of the best ways to spend a summer evening is on a patio somewhere over a beverage and, in my case, a maple chipotle Chilean sea bass with sweet potato medallions. Mmmm…. a superb way to end a Friday that was unusually busy at work. I don’t want to even think about what [...]

The Leaning Barn, Take Three

The Barn - March 28, 2007
The Leaning Barn, Take Two - May 8, 2007
This is a barn on McLaughlin Road in Caledon, near where I take flight training. You can’t see it from this angle, but it’s leaning west like it’s three sheets to the wind and will probably collapse soon.
I was nearby last [...]

At the End of the Day

I was in the neighbourhood of my flight school last weekend, so I stopped to shoot my favourite barn and take in a sunset at leisure instead of speeding by like I usually do. — Caledon, July 22
I’ve had a strange day, and I don’t know what to make of it, exactly. Work was rather [...]

Reflections

self-portrait sky reflections, Belfountain Conservation Area
For some reason, the coughing subsides when I lie down. (For most people the opposite is true.) So I lay down for a while on the grass and looked up at the sky — a very relaxing activity when it’s as beautiful as it was yesterday. Belfountain Conservation Area is [...]

For the seventh morning in a row I woke up wishing for a cough-free day and to be miraculously cured of this throat plague. Alas.
Hacking miserably all the way to the office, as soon as I reached my desk I called the medical clinic to see a doctor and got an appointment for 11:15. I [...]
