The Bit in “Plane” View
I just love a good view – from the higher up the better! Earlier this year when I flew from LA to New York, I took advantage of the opportunity to grab a few high elevation shots along the way! Afterwards, I was inspired to take a stroll through my photo collection in search of […]
The Travels With My Dad Bit
Yup – summertime is here! Time for barbecues, beach days, and from the days of my youth, time for hitting the road! I devoted my last post to trips I took with dear Mummy, so I thought it only fair to shift my focus for Father’s Day month to travels with my dad! Of course, […]
The Bit Where I Turn Five!
Well, no – I’m not actually turning five. (That happened, uh, rather a long time ago…) But it was five years ago that I embarked on a journey like none I’d taken before – I started Tesserology! Now, given that I can’t even keep a house plant alive for five years, this is a major […]

To celebrate “The True North’s” sesquicentennial, I’m doin’ a list! […]
The Fluid State of Grace Bit
Over several roamings around Alberta, Canada, I’ve been thoroughly charmed by the spectacular scenery – especially by the lakes and rivers! And through visits in different seasons, I’ve gotten to enjoy them in a variety of states (well, provinces, technically). There’s so much geologic beauty there to take in and learn about! While in the […]
EDMONTON: THE STATUES, FORTS AND TIMBITS BIT
So the NHL season ended with Mum’s beloved Blackhawks’ capturing the Stanley Cup for the third time in six years! No more thrills now until the Fall – and yet I’ve still got hockey on the brain… I was just at this annual black tie event, having a fine time people-watching and swillin’ the bubbly when I noticed my […]
