It’s been decades since I’ve seen a sundog. I remember seeing them all the time when I lived on the prairies. Last night at sunset there was a huge rainbow-colored sundog:

a piece of my past

What a blast!
I’m in the process of retiring from my Educators’ Resources blog. So that the resources aren’t lost to my subscribers and site visitors, I’m passing the whole blog on to a colleague, Sylvia Currie.
Sylvia’s first post to the blog reviews a bit of our history. I had forgotten all the details of the online seminar in which we met, but Sylvia has posted some specific quotes from me. Wow, is it Very Strange to read myself from way back then when I was:
- new to the concept of virtual education and online learning, taking a seminar to find out what it was all about
- new to being an online presence/voice
- testing the waters with a (slightly strange) online persona & handle: PinkFlamingo.
Here’s what I just wrote to Sylvia in response to her post:
It was interesting to read what I’d written, because of course I have completely forgotten all the details. I was such an online newbie back then, but already showing what was to become of my online style — in person, an extremely shy and quiet person; online, a loud-mouth, opinionated, no-holdbacks blabbermouth. Too funny to see the beginnings of all that right there in print. It’s like peeking into a personal diary of some kind. Yikes.
I guess it’s a personal history lesson. It also confirms what we’re all warned about — taking care about who we are and what we do online. Whatever we do, write, post, are, or become, it all goes on record. It becomes history, like it or not. A lesson in taking care of ourselves and our profile at all times.
cool things on my deck

Spring on our skydeck. Sunshine comes and stays. Camera comes out. Nothing much to shoot on the deck, but I do find that everything out there creates an interesting pattern. Well, ok, just any excuse to snap a photo.

BC hummingbirds up close

I just found this bird video site. Hummingbirds are one of my favorites. This video features a group “that have been getting fed and returning to this location on a regular basis for over thirty years” near BC Ferries’ Saltery Bay terminal.
Here’s the link to the original site if you can’t see the video here on my page:
