My final trudge through the snow taking photos for Historic Walks of Regina and Moose Jaw took me to the Warehouse District, where I saw–you guess it–lots of warehouses.

Snow slogging and photo blogging–in Moose Jaw!
Yes, today I took my Historic Walks of Regina and Moose Jaw travelling photography act on the road to Moose Jaw. Moose Jaw has many fine old buildings. Look, there’s one now!

Snow slogging and photo blogging

My apologies for the light blogging…
…I’ve been struggling with computer problems that culminated today in my taking my desktop machine to the shop. Then I spent several more hours getting my laptop (on which I’m writing this) set up as my temporary desktop machine. By way of making amends, I offer several photos taken while I was strolling around the …

This morning I drove up to Lipton, about 90 km northeast of Regina, for two readings at Lipton School: one to Grades 5 to 8, and one to Grade 9 to 12. I read a little bit of Andy Nebula to the younger group and a bit of Jimi Hendrix: Kiss the Sky to the …

Think the sun is kind of boring, just hanging around up there burning brightly? Well, just wait. In about five billion years it will look something like this: Credit: NASA, ESA, and K. Noll (STScI) Acknowledgement: The Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA)
