  • Where Are You From?

    Where Are You From?

    “Where are you from?” If we’re travelling outside the country, of course the answer is Canada. (It’s fascinating to me that Americans always say the city they’re from if we’re doing some kind of group activity. So sure of their place in the world, never doubting we’ll have heard of it).   But, otherwise, I’ve…

  • Bow River Valley and Mount Rundle at sunset

    This was taken on July 1…nice to celebrate Canada Day by taking pictures of a quintessential Canadian landscape!

  • Spectacle Lake

    I’d forgotten about these pics until a few days ago when I was looking for pictures to go with my last post.  This is Spectacle Lake in Algonquin Park in Ontario.  This was just a one night stop at Spectacle Lake Lodge on a trip to Quebec City in 2010. It was a beautiful, peaceful…

  • My Great Bear Rainforest Adventure – Part 1 (Pics Only Version)

    Once we arrived in Hartley Bay, British Columbia to meet the boat, Great Bear II, our adventure in the Great Bear Rainforest took us through some of the most spectacular scenery one could ever hope to see. It was nature at its best and I feel so lucky to have witnessed it.  My country is…

  • Sunset In Prince Rupert

    After a day of flying on Sunday…Regina to Calgary to Vancouver to Prince Rupert this sunset was the reward. Tomorrow is the seaplane trip to meet the boat at a small aboriginal fishing village called Hartley Bay. Hopefully the next week will include lots of wildlife viewing and great weather to enjoy the amazing scenery.

  • Great Bear Rainforest

    My big trip is about a week and a half away…I’m excited and a little nervous, but mostly I’m just looking forward to seeing some amazing scenery, and experiencing a part of Canada that not many people know about.  I like the West Coast, especially Tofino and Ucluelet on the West Coast of Vancouver Island,…

  • confused geese

    The geese have returned to Wascana Park in droves as they do at this time of year, every year.  Every June there are so many geese in the park, that a good number of them are rounded up and transported elsewhere. But they must be wondering what the heck right now. Snow! Cold!  Only small…

  • through the clouds

    I’ve been on some pretty cool drives in North America – Maui’s Road to Hana, the Beartooth Highway outside Yellowstone, and Port Alberni to Tofino on Vancouver Island. They all are amazing in their own way and the drive between Banff and Lake Louise is no exception.  Banff will always be one of my favourite…

  • grey morning

    It’s a grey morning here today… it matches the sky in these pictures from my trip to Banff at the end of October. These were taken on the drive from Kananaskis to Banff which is really scenic (even on a dull, grey, snowy morning).

  • Mount Edith Cavell

    This is a picture of the drive up to Mount Edith Cavell in Jasper National Park in July.  While going through my photo library, I realized there are quite a few pics from that trip I haven’t posted yet (so I expect I’ll post more, along with some more current wintery Saskatchewan scenes in the…

  • Banff Springs Continued

    I was actually pretty happy that it snowed in Banff, everything looked so pretty.

  • Banff Springs

    I didn’t do too much planning for the trip to Banff so there were only  two things on my must do list – go to Lake Louise and actually go into the Banff Springs Hotel and wander around instead of just admiring it from the outside.  I did take some pictures inside, but I wasn’t…
