#AlphabetChallenge #WeekTforTelevision The Twilight Zone.

Occasional reminder that the Vimy Ridge Memorial is literally sat on Canadian soil. The French made an official state gift of it on an anniversary a while back. Which means Canada can not only join Eurovision, but technically qualifies for EU membership.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekNforNights I was playing with the night mode on my camera and managed to get stars and moonlit Autumn leaves at midnight.

Why isn't the Canadian gov't thinking out of the box? Why aren't we following the example of other countries who have already adapted their postal services? When those improved models are there and serving a broader purpose, it makes no sense to let ours become less rather than more functional.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekMforMemories I’m struggling with this one: all my photos are memories! This is a vestigial memory of Roman occupation in France.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekLforLines Lines and circles and half circles in La Rochelle church window.

#Alphabetchallenge #WeekJForKaraoke I would walk 500 miles (but not on coblestones)

I would like all the politicians who are not working to make air conditioning mandatory in long term care facilities to have to sit in a small unventilated room for 24 hours when it’s 37’C.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekGforGlass Drying fresh herbs on a glass door.

You know, instead of whining and complaining that we can't go into the woods, we could redirect that energy to pressuring our political leaders to take action on the climate crisis that exacerbates these dry conditions in the first place so that one day we can go back into the woods. #nbpoli #nspoli

#Alphabetchallenge #WeekFForFire Potential for fire.

#WeekDforDrivetime #AlphabetChallenge Tom Cochrane « Life is a highway” Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand. Sometimes you turn your back to the wind. There's a world outside every darkened door. Where blues won't haunt you anymore. Where the brave are free and lovers soar.

We need more museums, more galleries, more CBC and more Via Rail...not less. Yet these cuts threaten to erase all the campaign promises and put all the crown corps in a worse place. Somehow this didn’t make it into the election debates. 6/x

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekCForCommunication The Merlin app tells me who is communicating but not what is being said.

#WeekBforBars #AlphabetChallenge Kayak perspective.

Je me rend en Bretagne en septembre. Est-ce qu’il y a des monuments ou musée qui commémore les Acadiens a Belle Ile en mer? Je ne trouve pas grand chose sur les sites web pour les touristes.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekAforAlliteration Traveller transfixed by tenacious tilting tree. (With apologies to Sheena. I will keep trying for alliterative ‘a’)

Antonine Maillet had an obit in the NY Times. My partner met her a few times and she always said she was a hoot.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekNforNoise Halifax street in the rain.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekMforMulticoloured I’ve been struggling to find colours this week because late winter in Eastern Canada is mostly browns, grays and melting snow. But today i went to the YARN store!

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekLforLyrics You’ll remember me When the west wind moves Upon the fields of barley You’ll forget the sun In his jealous sky As we walk in fields of gold

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekKforKinetic I’m going back to Iceland photos for kinetic!

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekJforJobs And yes, in case you’re wondering, hospitals in eastern Canada do have watercolours of lobster traps in the hallways.
