There’s a sunrise and a sunset every single day, and they’re absolutely free. Don’t miss so many of them.

Hoarfrost around town
On the morning of Dec. 31st, there was quite a bit of hoarfrost. I grabbed my camera and went north of the river to take some photos.

To whoever left this on the sidewalk in front of Hairistocracy, thank you for brightening my morning.

Pylons down
I took this photo just outside Headingley on my way home from Winnipeg. I’m not sure if the ones lying down were felled in the Thanksgiving storm, or if they’re meant to replace weakened pylons (though I lean toward the former).
[Update, 8 Jan. 2020] They’re replacing the pylons, or supplementing them. The last time we went into Winnipeg, on Boxing Day, the pylons were now standing, though not yet strung with wires.
A bit of excitement
I pulled up at Chez Angela not long after a car accident. As I was preparing to leave, the ambulance pulled up and parked next to me, boxing me in, so I went back into the bakery and had a coffee to wait them out.
The cars involved are on the other side of the fire truck in the photo. I felt it would be bad form to wander around the site taking photos. Plus it was way warmer inside, sipping my coffee, than out in the street.
When I left, about ten minutes later, the police were still there, and two tow trucks had showed up.
As far as I could tell, no one was seriously hurt, but at least one of the vehicles was not in great shape.
Volleyball action
My nephew Isaac is in town for a volleyball tournament again, so I snapped a few photos. I posted ’em on Facebook, but not everyone is on Facebook (hi, Mom!), so I’m putting them here too.
Isaac’s team (Collège Louis Riel) won in 3 sets: 25–14, 18–25, 15–12.
Hallowe’en sunrise
To quote Jo Walton: “There’s a sunrise and a sunset every single day, and they’re absolutely free. Don’t miss so many of them.”
I snapped this photo on my way to work this morning.
Campus Visitors
They must feel safe now that Thanksgiving¹ has passed.

The last few days
Our friend Tess dropped by for a visit last weekend, and stayed overnight. I decided to snap a photo of her, and one of Kathleen as well.

Then I saw a lovely red-and-yellow autumn tree on my way to work.
And today it snowed.
