The sound of Maplelawn, one of Westboro’s best kept secrets

Posted by andrea tomkins in: - Westboro|Multimedia experiments

Radio was one of my favourite classes during my time at Carleton. I ended up focusing on documentary film production (which was actually what I wanted to do with my life at the time) but the magic of sound never really left me.

Sound is a very powerful thing. It brings you places that mere words and silent photos cannot. That’s why I recorded the sound of our dark and foggy walk this morning.

If you’re reading this now, I urge you to take a moment to turn up your speakers and listen to the sound behind the photographs I took for you. :)

Take a deep breath of cool foggy air, and come linger with me for a minute among the blackbirds and grey gravel pathways. Click the arrow below to begin. :)

omg…The male red-wing blackbirds have arrived! A big old raven flew over this afternoon while the kids munched on some tender little chives. Spring has sprung. Thanks for the recording.

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in the Westboro area of Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Piper who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. We also have two human offspring: Emma (24) and Sarah (22). During the day I work as a writer at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.

If you'd like to contact me, please use this form. If you're so inclined, you can read more about me here. Thank you for visiting!
