  • We had a wonderful time in Mahone Bay today for their Scarecrow Festival.

    We saw so many scarecrows, explored the fairy trail, and I met up with my old friend Merlin and their kid.

    For now I want to share some of the scarecrow highlights.

  • I had a great time at the Beat Beethoven 7.5K race today.

    I was happy with my pace of 4:59 and finishing 29th in a field of 368. Not bad for my first in-person race since 2018.

    After the run was a performance by Symphony Nova Scotia, including a wonderful, stirring Star Trek medley.

  • Mikel released Poké & Chill 2 and listening to this album is starting my day off right.

  • I picked up my race bib yesterday afternoon. I'm looking forward to doing my first in-person race in years, especially with the fun gimmick of having a live performance of Beethoven along the route.

  • I stopped to capture this mural by Shelby Plume while I was on Spring Garden Road yesterday.

  • When I was a kid I visited an Egyptian exhibit at a museum in Ottawa. My souvenir from the experience was scarab beads that were lost some time after that.

    This week I found the same beads again.

  • Dahlias at The Public Gardens are at their peak right now.

  • We visited the Oval today so Celestine could use rollerblades, a bike, and a scooter.
