Misty Moisty Morning

Candace — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 11:53:46 +0000

It’s been misty the past few mornings and I’m starting to notice the nights are longer and the sun rising later. This is my favourite time of year. Now if I can just guard against catching the nasty colds that are going around.

Hawk Face

It’s hawk migration time. Holiday Beach hosted their annual Hawk Festival last weekend and the one before. I’m definitely keeping my distance from this bird.

In the Trees

Candace — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 12:19:51 +0000

Windsor still has a bit of green space left. On the far west side, bordering Lasalle, Ojibway Park is home for this deer. If you’re quiet (and lucky) you could see it too. For anyone interested in bringing home some green, Ojibway is having their annual native tree and plant sale this Saturday. Contact the centre for more details.

Fishies!

Backyard ponds are a lot more common today than they were when I was a kid. Are these the fish that will stay at the bottom on the pond all winter long?

A bonus of having a pond in your backyard is all the mosquitoes that they eat.

Monarch Time

Candace — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 13:17:51 +0000

The monarchs are here! Soon they’ll be starting their migration to warmer climates but for the next few weeks they’ll be wherever they can find milkweed, their favourite food.

HDR Elephant

Candace — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 11:43:19 +0000

This elephant elephant is out for a stroll in Windsor’s Sculpture Garden along Riverside Drive. The photo was processed using HDR imaging (High Dynamic Range) to give it the extra funky lighting effects. There’s more about the process on Wikipedia.

Math in Nature

Candace — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 12:39:33 +0000

According to lepiaf.geo, the photographer here, this spiral can be described by as a logarithmic spiral. It’s been a long time since I’ve done this sort of math but here it is:

In parametric form, the curve is
x(t)=r cos(t)=(ae)exp(bt) cos(t)
Y(t)=r sin(t)=(ae)exp(bt) sin(t)

with real numbers a and b.

Taking Time

Candace — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 11:25:00 +0000

Do you rush? I know I always have ten times the number of goals that I can actually accomplish in a day. I’d like to be this snail, slowly wandering through a garden of freshly rained on flowers.

Hello!, originally uploaded by groovyholly.

Have a great day and try and take your time today.
