March 15 ~ Screen Shot

I took this photo directly from my computer, with my computer camera! A new trick!
It is a stunning shot of Quebec City, at sunset, when the xc ski races were being streamed, last week.

March 14 ~ Down Cycling Memory Lane - 2001!

For many years, a group of keen cyclist trained for, and participated in theRideau Lakes Bike tour, 180 km to Kingston, and back, on a weekend in June.
A big part of the fun was training for the event, and stopping for coffee. Here we are in Manotick, and the Millers Oven.

March 1~ Ski Tour Gatineau

This is a photo from my computer screen! Seeing as I was unable to be at the World Cup Ski Tour races in person, I watched live streaming on my computer and took this photo of skiers in perfect formation. Such intensity of excitement!
