Anyone got any pictures?...
Go to the photo gallery area and click on "Around the world in pictures", then choose Canada?

The problem with using pictures to see "what life in Canada is like" is that few people include pictures of commuter trains, office desks and supermarkets in their albums. Our blog is mostly pictures but it's more Yuppies emulating The Good Life than it is typical life in Canada.

Just a few taken the last couple of weeks. Lake Huron was frozen to about a mile out enabling us to walk out quite a way.

The squirrel is a regular visitor to the window right here at the computer.

You've started something here, you know!

Re. Your blog. What exactly is the latest picture of? (The mysterious object on the deck.) Also, lucky that you are still with us rather than trapped in the back of your van body. Without the cellphone how long would it have taken for your absence to be noted?

I'm not an expert in these matters but I believe that to be an ornamental bedpan. At least I hope it was ornamental, it was on the lawn.

I would have been ok, I would have been wanted for dinner or when my autistic child next needed to be pulled out of something "flithy, vile, absolutely horrible". Your point is well taken though, the virtual m-i-l frets massively about the prospect of her daughter dying in a ditch unnoticed by anyone after a horse or tractor mishap.

I assume that you could indeed supply these kind of photos if requested though.

By all means, I even have a picture I sent when I first arrived of the hell that is the Square One area of Mississauga. I expect I can also find some more bed pan pictures if there's a demand.

Whilst I'd agree with dbd that what we really need are pictures of homes, commutes, offices, shops, that dodgy subdivision/street/suburb we don't really like to stop in, potholes, etc etc, I don't have any of those to hand. So here are some random pictures of Newfoundland for your delight.

Agreed. It's tricky though. I got caught taking photos in a grocery store... the Safeway goons thought I was a 'price checker' from Walmart. "Do I look like someone with a job?!" I was insulted on so many levels.

I hear you. Several times I've tried to get some shots of the ugly tranny and been spat at for my trouble.
