Photo Friday: Oh, Romeo
“Oh, Romeo…” she said, gazing worriedly (and a little excitedly) from on high at the skirmish below. Another challenger for her affections had arrived, but Romeo chased him effectively around the courtyard for a while, then finally away. “Wherefore art thou, Romeo,” she continued plaintively, then broke into a smile as he appeared on…
Access/No Access: The Quest for an Accessible Hotel Room
I had to be out of my apartment for week while my landlord installed new flooring to replace the one that had been destroyed in a flood. But first, I decided to check out a few accessible rooms in hotels near my neighbourhood to see which would best fit my needs. Starting with a surprise…

2019 Calendars or How’d It Get To Be October Already?
It is like always like this: I have spent the first three weeks of October in a frenzy of going through every single photo I took since January 1 of the year, sorting, editing, sorting again (I take a lot of photos), doing significant battle with myself about which of my favourites get to prevail….
