Photo Challenge - February

The theme of this month's photo challenge coordinated by P.J. over at a 'lilhoohaa is "red". Now I was pretty busy in February what with participating in a daily writing challenge and all. I did find the time to take the lovely Mrs. Dufus out for dinner and present her with a beautiful bouquet of red roses. Lucky for me, nudge, nudge.







Click on P.J.'s link up there and see how the rest of the photog bloggers dealt with the prompt.

I'm afraid I didn't get out much this month. So damn cold here.

Nice roses. These things do wonders, don't they?

Oh, they're like a secret weapon. Sometimes I buy them and it's not even Valentine's Day.

You'd BETTER buy her roses... after your dalliance with Dylan. For shame!

Hey that was fictional. The roses were real, though.

Valentine's Day passed us by without much notice...too busy enjoying vacation. I did miss the roses though - that is until the front desk at our hotel gave me one long-stemmed flower in the afternoon. The next morning, I saw red rose petals on the ground at the parking lot for the Franz Josef glacier trail, where we stopped to make the required observations to log an earthcache. They looked sad and water-trodden, but my photo didn't turn out very well, so it's in the digital trash can!

Leave it to you dufus! There's a way to do the challenge. And a nudge, nudge ... what about the wink, wink?

I bought them and gave them to my dear wife…and have the pictures to prove it.

You just can't go wrong with red roses...unless it sparkles (nudge, nudge)! Mrs. D is a fortunate woman. :-)

Twittercide is Painless

Hey, don't forget to stop by my caption contest - Pause, Ponder and Pun - and leave a caption. You might win exciting prizes. Well, no prizes really but significant web cred to have been awarded the I Be Hangin' With Dufus citation. Oh yeah, baby! Meanwhile on with today's post...

The debate on the positive versus negative impacts of social media networking continues, this time around the Catholic Church has waded in.

Me? In addition to having friends in the real world, I find such social media as Twitter, Facebook and my blog an interesting way to interact with new people across all social strata, age groups and geographic locations. Indeed, I think it's the technological equivalent of Walt Disney's philosophy: It's A Small World, After All. (I stress philosophy and not that annoying theme park song)





Couldn't watch it all, could you? But I digress...


I thought the Catholic Church ran out of feet to stand on a long time ago. But apparently it has as many feet…

Exercising My Rights (And My Lefts)

I confess, I'm not the most energetic of people. After all I'm a guy whose Facebook status reads "I'm not lazy. I'm just energy efficient". In fact, few people know but if you look up couch potato in the dictionary it has my picture.

At my house, we're so lazy even my cat is a couch potato.

But I've decided it's high time to do something about it. I've decided to undertake cross-country skiing. And, speaking of which, after our little session this morning, an undertake-r is something I could have really used. We're quite fortunate where we live. The ski trails are a five-minute walk (more exercise!). But miracle of miracles, I stayed upright the whole time. Putting the skis on was interesting.
"You put your right foot in, you take your right foot out..."
The trail itself was gorgeous, with hardly anyone else out at 9:30 in the morning. Which worked out fine for me. I didn't have to pull over to let faster skiers (read: everyone e…

Here's something unusual for an urban centre. In the heart of Canada's capital is a huge block of open land (400 hectares) called The Central Experimental Farm. It was established in 1886 (thats a long time for an "experiment") as the central research station for the federal Department of Agriculture. When I first entered the public service in the mid 80s (that's the 1990s) I worked at Agriculture in the Sir John Carling Building located on the farm.
