Ottawa Ice Bow

Did you see the ice bow around the sun yesterday morning? I took some photos, but they were through dirty windows.

My Spaceship Woolie

Since I’m a member of the knithacker photo pool on Flickr, I uploaded photos of my favourite knitted item. It is the spaceship woolie that Manon made for me. It is mounted on my home office desk and reminds me to aim for the stars.

And aiming for the stars reminds me of my favourite James Thurber fable, the Moth and the Star. [Wikipedia entry]

Seasonal Video from Astronaut Love Triangle

Have you seen the exciting new holiday video from Astronaut Love Triangle?

I'm a Knithacker?

Last week, before the weather turned ugly and before my PowerShot died, I took this picture of a pole warmer on Gladstone Ave (north side, just west of Kent Street). On the weekend, I uploaded it to Flickr along with a few other shots of it and today I received this notice:

Group invites

You've been invited to add this photo to the group knithacker.

By group admin lily dustbin

Of course I clicked the "accept invitation" button. It took me to the knithacker page where I was told that to submit a photo, I would have to become a member. No membership fee, so I signed up and now my photo is one of the 5,306 items in the knithacker group pool.

I feel a bit like a fraud, but the invitation still made me happy.

p.s. I know that other local bloggers have spotted some of these, but I'm not sure if anybody caught this one and I don't have time to search around because I promised to have fried rice ready when Manon gets home.
