Sucker Lake, originally uploaded by Gavatron. Product of my first real foray into night sky photography.

Oh hai!, originally uploaded by Gavatron. One of hundreds, if not thousands of shrimps that live in the tidal pools around St-Malo. I fell in love with these arthropods—watching any pool, they would simply morph into view. Now they were always there, but it required a certain amount of intentionality on my part to see […]

Rue de Petit Fort, originally uploaded by Gavatron. This road was a highlight of the trip. Funny, I know. Dinan is a city with a thousand-year history: founded at the narrowing of the Rance River, a bridge was built and boat traffic was charged a toll to pass. As the town grew on the flats […]

Last of the Romantics, originally uploaded by Gavatron. While walking the dogs, I found this discarded magnetic poetry set in front of one of the local frat houses.

Fort National, from the Sillon Beach, originally uploaded by Gavatron. Taken on our Honeymoon.

Water & Waves, originally uploaded by Gavatron. We’re back from our annual kayak trip to Cedar Island & Northern Georgian Bay. We had a great trip: Ollie enjoyed himself (as usual) and Griff went on his first kayak trip. Rather than being the crazy puppy that we expected him to be, he cooled down after […]

Child saftey measures circa 1979, originally uploaded by Gavatron. This is a photo taken of me sometime in the late seventies. While I look like I’m enjoying my breakfast, the best part of this photograph is the corner-of-the-table protection installed. What is that? A doubled up napkin and a piece of masking tape?
