Maple Leaf Wreath – Simple Version
I have a design in my head, mostly. This is a much simpler version of it.

Canada Day 2020 The Great Indoors
I had planned to make a wreath of maple leaves for Canada Day this year. But, it is not taking shape quickly enough. On the plus side, I have a head start on it for next Canada Day. Here is what I finished today. Something to celebrate the low point of 2020. I hope they stop dragging this on!… Read the rest
My ASCII Art for Canada Day, So Far
The images are close to the order I made them in. The last new Canada Day themed art I made was the row of maple leaves at the end of the post.
HI Canada Hostels Logo
An ASCII art based on the logo for HI Hostels Canada. I like the bottom one better. The top I tried to make more like the actual logo. I stayed at hostels in Winnipeg, Regina and Vancouver almost 20 years ago. The Jericho Beach hostel is still open. Backpackers are now flashbackers, fancier.
Remembrance Day Poppy ASCII Text Art
I’ve made a few poppies for Remembrance Day. This year I want to make something different. I haven’t decided what it will be yet. But, it is the 100th year since the end of WWI. That’s something to work with.

They looked so sad (near death) in the pet stores. They didn’t live to an old age in our fish tank but at least they had more fish for company and they looked a lot healthier.… Read the rest
I Like Making ASCII Art
This post was originally posted to Squidoo while I was writing there. That site was closed in 2014.
Maybe you have seen ASCII art and didn’t know what it was.
I make pictures using my computer keyboard – the characters of the keyboard, the text letters, punctuation marks and the numbers too. I enjoy ASCII art.… Read the rest
Fireworks and Victoria Day (a Canadian Holiday Tradition) in ASCII Text Art
Victoria Day is, formally, the celebration of the birthday of Queen Victoria. But, it’s become a holiday to celebrate the start of the summer season. Canadians traditionally celebrate Victoria Day with fireworks.
Most of the ASCII art I can find for Victoria Day comes from the US Independence Day or Canada Day. This just shows how Victoria Day has become a forgotten holiday the farther back in history Queen Victoria gets.
