  • Elk Island National Park (Astotin Lake Sunset)

    Just a picture I thought I posted earlier in the summer.  It’s been a busy summer where other things have taken precedence over photography, so I don’t have a lot of new pictures to post.  When I have had the time and the inclination, the sky has been a smoky haze from forest fires. There…

  • This week’s view

    View from the campsite at Jasper National Park… home for the next week…   

  • Bow Lake

    This is the first full day of my annual camping adventure with Mom and Dad – this year we’re in Banff. We spent the day driving towards the Columbia Icefields and stopping for any promising photo opportunities. I’ll have a picture of a black bear I took with my Nikon d7000 to post when I…

  • Elk Island National Park

      I just got back from my annual camping trip with my parents.  Our main destination this year was Jasper National Park, but on the way we camped at Elk Island National Park for a night. Elk Island is about an hour from Edmonton and is a less busy park than Banff and Jasper. After…

  • bears

    The sign that greets campers at one of the campgrounds in Jasper National Park. One road side bear sighting so far – I’ll post the pics when I get home.

  • Summer Reading

    I’m going camping in a week. One of my favourite parts about camping is reading by the campfire until the last bit of sun is gone. Not sure I’ll have room in my luggage for all these books, though!
