Chicks: death by plastic



These photos were taken by Chris Jordan at the Midway Atoll in the North Pacific. These are the remains of albatross chicks that were fed plastic by their parents until they died -- from starvation, poisoning and choking. I can't imagine the slow, horrible and confused death they must experience. The Midway Atoll, about 5,200 km from San Francisco and 4,100 km from Tokyo, is a National Wildlife Refuge, administered by the US Fish and Wildlife Service.

One day, we're going to pay for the horrors we're inflicting on the planet.

Thanksgiving weekend in Ottawa-Gatineau






Fall was definitely out in full bloom this Thanksgiving weekend in Ottawa-Gatineau ... and a hint of winter somewhere in the air. See more shots from this past weekend, here.

A summer walk in the park






Finally getting around to posting these ... the girls took me for a walk in the park for Father's Day this year. Took a few shots.

Queen West Art Crawl


Spent a little time last weekend out at Queen West, taking in a little of the Art Crawl after lunching at Fresh, where we had a totally healthy vegetarian lunch, that was wickedly overpriced.

The Beaches



A couple of photos I took back in the middle of summer, just hanging out at the Beaches. It's a great place for bumming around on the weekend. Lots of good, cheap places to eat, and to do some people watching.

Hubble is back



Hubble is back with the WFC3 taking some awesome shots! In this family portrait of the Abell 370 galaxy cluster, gravitational lensing can be seen in all its glory.

Vladimir and Dmitry



I saw this photo, and the first thing that popped into my head: kid on the bottom right, Vladimir Putin, and behind him is Dmitry Medvedev. And the kid on the left ... Putin just wants the damn candy apple!

These are some of the panoramic photos I took during our Iceland vacation. You can view the full set on Webshots. To fully appreciate it, you would need to be standing there in Iceland. The camera is a poor substitute. Having said that however, you may wish to view the set full screen on a large monitor. I uploaded the full, high resolution images, but Webshots would have compressed the jpegs to save on bytes.

More vacation photos are coming!
