I wanted to write today but was not sure what to say or show. I'm not given to grand thoughts or deep introspection but I think it is important to have some quiet, introspective time today, to remember those who have fought and died for for our freedoms and beliefs, and to think of those who are taking up that calling now.

These photos are from a walk I took for an afternoon break last week when the sun decided to show itself. They are not in any way related to Remembrance Day but to me they have a quiet thoughtful quality that I felt might be appropriate.





If you would like to see more of my walk you can find it on my flickr.

We went to the Noodle House for lunch yesterday. We hadn't been there for a long time and the food was so good. I love the big chunks of ice the give you in your drink.


Rob had the combination beef noodle soup - cooked beef, rare beef and beef balls on top of noodles and been shoots in good, hot broth.


I had saté beef and spring rolls on vermicelli - lettus and cumcumber and lots of ground peanuts too.

A bit of yellow at work. This is an origami flower Joyce left on my desk a while ago.  I like the way it brightens up my empty tea cup.
