Lately, I’ve been working on the floor, so this is my fault, but slobbery dogs, aaaaauuuugh. One of the doors in my studio opens onto the lav, and the door was open. I go in for around 10 seconds, and Jayne promptly stands over the painting and drools. Now he’s sleeping the sleep of the innocent (What? I didn’t do anything! Why are you yelling? Can I have a treat?)
Hi everyone.
I’m voyager and some of you may know me from the comments section. I’ve decided to take Caine up on her offer to provide a bit of content on Affinity and am starting a daily series called Jack’s Walk. Jack is my 10 year old chocolate lab and I thought it might be fun to chronicle the progress of the seasons while we go on our daily walk. I’ll post a photo or two with a comment and do my best to make it interesting.
You may be a bit curious about us, so here are a few tidbits.
We live in southwestern Ontario.
I’m a retired palliative care nurse/case manager who likes to wander and read. I playact with a local theatre troupe and would describe myself as a nerd. My screen name voyager is partly a reference to the Star Trek series of the same name. Yep, nerd.
Jack is not retired, just unemployed. His favorite things are food, swimming, food, belly rubs, food, sleeping. Did I mention food? His well-earned nickname is Mr. Heavy Bum and at 80 lbs he still likes to sit on laps.
I want to thank Caine for her trust and the new privileges. I’ll try not to break anything.
And now onto today’s walk.
Tulips! Today Jack and I found a few brave tulips poking their heads out. We also went to see the ducks and geese, but there was so much fowl poop we didn’t linger. Messy, messy birds.
Tulips, Nightjar has them! Oh, so pretty.

From Voyager & Jack: It was bright and sunny today, but still only 1 degree and icy. There are hundreds of tulips in the garden behind Jack and not a single one is up. Click for full size!

From Nerd of Redhead: From Nerd of Redhead: colorful flowers in an urn for the Redhead’s grave display. The urn is cast aluminum with hummingbirds on it. The flowers represent those in the yard, those she liked (birds of paradise), or something that just looked good to me. A celebration of the color she brought to my life. So beautiful, click for full size.

From Voyager: Hooray! Today Jack saw the first sure sign of spring. The maples have been tapped and the sap is flowing. The weather remains cold and dreary, but Jack is contentedly dreaming of pancakes and sausage with fresh maple syrup. Click for full size!
This is Jack.
