I run around outside with a camera, on my legs. I've worked in #communications most of my adult life. I post my own photos except reposts. I live on Treaty 6 land in #yeg #canada . I like #art and minding my business.

One for My Old Doctor...
(wherever she is)

Two years ago she told me to start lifting weights.

"Not a lot, Jeff. Don't overdue it. We both know you often overdo it..."

Narrator: He over did it.

Weak Warm Winter Light...
I was spared from a job cut due to funding weirdness this week; just being asked to work harder with less. Sounded like the future to me.

A Little (False) Spring In Your Step...
A fake-spring was blooming on Jasper Ave. this week. It won't last. When February air in Edmonton doesn't hurt your face, it's a #win. Go for stroll. Jump a few puddles.

The Next Move...
This photo makes me miss my Dad. He died this month six years ago, on Family Day, because the cosmos like irony. Some old men remind me of him. Old men like to ponder...

Opportunity Rover on Mars...
(& back here we're selling selling Propane for cooking on Earth.) That rover explored Mar's Meridiani Planum.
Like me, it set new endurance records.

My whole midweek-vibe in one photo.

(The warm temps caused our old Halloween pumpkin to deflate on this outdoor pot holder. I laugh every time I look at it.)

Thaw It All...
temptation, toilet paper, hope, sin — and a lot of puddles... downtown had it all. A few Images from a 13 km run yesterday before dusk, through the city.

Bad Bunny...
I am hoping to give a talk to local poets in spring about how I see poetry and photography as artistic siblings. One way they diverge, is around timing.

The Cornstalk Moon...
It's actually called 'the Snow Moon' — or maybe it's a super moon now, because we need to super-size everything — even the moon. Personally I just want special light that turns the cornstalks pink.

One other one for #stunday...

Sometimes, for a few minutes, the clouds are very heavy with colour. I like that. If I I see them like that, and dont have a camera, I press down with my index finger and say 'click'.

Make it a #Stunday...
Went to a funeral for a physician yesterday. A remarkable celebration of a local, but very international, life. He was a #buddhist. What stayed with me was: "From nothing, to nothing." And that his last words were 'Thank you'

My Other Day Job...
A quote from one of my kids, pulled from an application to University. I saw it this morning on my desk and it hurt my chest a bit, in a good way. Parenting, for me, reminds me of those those paintings over top of paintings. It's #art that never ends...

A figure like an Inuksuk but human — kinda like me, before morning coffee.
