  • Old Quebec

    When I was a little kid, we had to drive long distances to visit relatives.  I used to wish there was a fast forward button so we could just get there.  On this rainy, dreary April Sunday afternoon, I would use that fast forward button to go to Quebec City, specifically Old Quebec. I loved…

  • City Square Plaza

    Regina’s City Square Plaza is a controversial space for a lot of different reasons – for me the three biggest are that it was massively over budget, cars and pedestrians share the space which in my opinion is a recipe for disaster, and the architectural features are ugly.  Don’t get me wrong, I actually think…

  • the Leg. on a Saturday Afternoon

    I took these pictures of the Legislative Building with my iPhone on Saturday after work. I haven’t taken a lot of pics this winter, but now that the days are getting longer and the temperature is getting warmer, I’m starting to come out of hibernation! It’s been a long winter, with a LOT of snow.…

  • rooftops

    I went out on my balcony this morning (it was only about -6 outside, so not too bad!) and got this shot.  I’m quite happy with the way it turned out and how the brick on the First Baptist Church (foreground) and Knox-Metropolitan United Church looks on a grey Sunday morning. That’s Regina’s City Hall…

  • morning walk

    morning walk

    It’s another beautiful Saturday in Regina – the sun is shining and the air is crisp – quite appropriate for the first day of Fall.  The temperature fell below zero overnight so I wanted to get a few flower pictures this morning before it’s too late, and I also took a few more pictures around…

  • Neighbourhood Walk Part 2

    All of these sights are in my neighbourhood.  I’ve lived in Regina for a long time now, and I’ve never really thought of it as a pretty city. (I think I may have said this in a post a few months ago, too!)   I appreciate many of the things the city has to offer,…

  • neighbourhood walk

    It’s a beautiful day here so I decided to take my camera with me when I walked to the Canada Post outlet at Shoppers Drug Mart to pick up a parcel this morning.  I’m a fast walker, but today I decided to amble along and really  look around as I walked.  I enjoyed my morning…

  • Queen Elizabeth II Gardens

    The Queen Elizabeth II Gardens in front of the Legislative Building in Regina re-opened on the weekend after a $1 million renovation.  I love the Leg. – I think it’s a beautiful building (although I certainly don’t love the governing party that is inhabiting it right now!).

  • Summers Are for Road Trips – Montreal Edition

    One full day in Montreal is obviously not enough time to even scratch the surface of all the sights in the city.  Most of the pictures I took are from Place d’Armes (including Notre Dame Basilica), Old Montreal and a few while wandering downtown.  These pics are from Place d’Armes, an area that dates back…

  • no, it’s not snow

    Sure looks like snow on the first day of summer, but we had quite a bit of hail and rain here early in the evening.  I snapped a few quick pics with my iphone out the back door of the library – there was thunder and lightning, too, so I didn’t spend too much time…
