The last two days have had me doing a fair bit of walking. It's just about a 2km journey from my house to the office. I forgot to bring along my camera yesterday so a picture from this morning will have to do for both days.  •  The clouds this morning were fantastic. Light and fluffy with sunlight …

Sometimes you have the best of intentions., Sometimes reality sets in. Friday and Saturday were virtual right offs for me nature wise. Friday was work, family party. Saturday was round two of 224 Queen Street insulation. We kicked its ass (150 bags of insulation) but that took the entire day. So …

Today in Charlottetown it was all about rain. A steady rain fell across much of Prince Edward Island today. Of course I still decided to walk the 2.2km to work. I've always enjoyed walking in the rain. There is something reassuring and calming about the sound of rain on my hood. I notice the …

I must admit, today isn't my best nature effort. I ended up taking the car to work for no good reason (shame). So tonight I wandered a little bit around my neighbourhood. When I say a little bit I mean a couple of minutes. I felt forced but that's part of these things right?  •  Rain is on the way …

In case you didn't gather from yesterday's post, I really enjoyed snowshoeing. So today I went back out.  •  I ventured out from the same starting point as yesterday. I think I may make this area a place I get to intimately know. It's very tranquil and has a great line separating industrial from …

All signs and forecasts were promising a phenomenal day today: sunny, little to no wind, and a balmy -2 to -4 degrees. Just cold enough to keep the snow and just warm enough to ensure that you don't freeze your ass off. Today is unfolding exactly as promised.  •  As the day was perfect, I decided …

I've established a morning routine. Get up a little earlier than usual, get dressed according to the weather, and walk to work in a new way. This morning I walked by, and through, the Ard Gowan historic site. It was a perfect morning. The sun was out and casting a beautiful light across the snow …
