href="http://www.robink.ca/blog/7-random-facts-meme-part-1/"><strong>That 7-things meme really took it out of me.</strong></a> Blurting out all those random facts all at once &#8211; it&#8217;s unnatural! I had to take a breather.</p><p>I still don&#8217;t have anything to say. Here&#8217;s a few pics. Let&#8217;s start with a light bulb. It represents all the new inspiration that is coming my way this winter. (You too.)</p><p><img

/>I&#8217;m pretty impressed with all the people who are doing the NaBloPoMo thing &#8211; <a
href="http://www.nablopomo.com/"><strong>National blog posting month</strong></a>. They&#8217;re posting every single day in November. And most of them already exhausted from doing the 7-random-things meme!</p><p>You might think posting every single day would make for some very dull posts, but I find I&#8217;m enjoying them. I just like reading blogs. Especially local Ottawa ones. Here are the blogs I know about that are posting every day in November:</p><ul><li><a

/><p>I know I swore off pictures of leaves, but what else is there? This is such a one-track place, this Canada. Nothing but leaves and then before you know it, it&#8217;s nothing but snow. And summer&#8217;s just green, green, as far as the eye can see. (Spring is kind of fun though.)</p><p>These leaves are floating on the water of the canal. At least they&#8217;re not all red and hanging on a tree or something. I like the variety of textures you get in a mass of dead leaves.</p><p><img
id="image2361" alt=leaves1.jpg src="http://www.robink.ca/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/leaves1.jpg" /></p><p>This one has got some of those lush green things that grow under the surface. (Sigh&#8230; more things I don&#8217;t know the name of.)</p><p><img
id="image2362" alt=leaves2.jpg src="http://www.robink.ca/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/leaves2.jpg" /></p><p>OK, just one more leaf pic. I promise. I like this one for the range of colours in it.</p><p><img
id="image2363" alt=leaves3.jpg src="http://www.robink.ca/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/leaves3.jpg" /></p><p>Red light. Not a leaf.</p><p><img
id="image2364" alt=red.jpg src="http://www.robink.ca/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/red.jpg" /></p><p>Hallowe&#8217;en thing</p><p><img
id="image2365" alt=thing.jpg src="http://www.robink.ca/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/thing.jpg" /></p><p>That&#8217;s about it. It&#8217;s Remembrance Day. This is a pretty big deal, here in the nation&#8217;s capital, so maybe I&#8217;ll go down and see if I can get any pics. Thing is, I&#8217;ve been to it before and I know it&#8217;s an extreme crowd scene. You end up watching it on TV in person.</p><p>As Yogi Berra said, &#8220;Nobody goes there anymore because it&#8217;s too crowded.&#8221; That&#8217;s pretty much the way I feel about everything. So I might see you later.</p><hr
