  • Kaanapali Beach Reminiscing

    I’ve collected quotes for as long as I can remember, and this is one of my favourites.  (I came across it again the other day and thought I’d share it with some of my favourite pictures from Kaanapali Beach in March – watching the sunset every night was my favourite part of the trip). “The…

  • Monday Quotes

    Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them – that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.  – Lao Tzu The prairie skies can always make you see more than what you believe. ― Jackson Burnett, The Past Never Ends

  • “what we do see depends mainly on what we look for”

    “What we do see depends mainly on what we look for…In the same field the farmer will notice the crop, the geologists the fossils, botanists the flowers, artists the colouring, sportmen the cover for the game. Though we may all look at the same things, it does not all follow that we should see them.”…

  • March is a weird month

    March is that weird month when the sidewalks are treacherously icy on the morning walk to work and on the walk home you have to avoid all the puddles and slush. You don’t dare stand or walk on the edge of the sidewalk unless you take pleasure in getting soaked by passing cars.  It’s not…

  • Oh Canada

    I’m a big fan of the Olympics and a bit sad that they are pretty much over. I could wait to post this after the Canada-Sweden men’s hockey gold medal game, but regardless if Canada wins or not, I’ve enjoyed watching all the Canadian athletes. My favourite moments were Regina’s own snowboarder, Mark McMorris, winning…

  • Taking A Moment

    The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself. ― Henry Miller These are two of my favourite pictures from my trip to the Great Bear Rainforest last June. I’ve posted them before, but these jumped out at me again when I…

  • a good book

    A good book is a good book, wherever you are reading it, but a good book enjoyed while sitting outside is one of my favourite things.  These are pics taken during a trip to Cypress Hills this past summer when I was taking a break from reading at our campsite. The book I was reading…

  • My Favourite Places – Mackenzie Beach

    “The three great elemental sounds in nature are the sound of rain, the sound of wind in a primeval wood, and the sound of outer ocean on a beach. I have heard them all, and of the three elemental voices, that of ocean is the most awesome, beautiful and varied.” ― Henry Beston, The Outermost…

  • learning and being taught

    I am always ready to learn although I do not always like being taught. Winston Churchill I like looking up quotes, especially when I’m avoiding doing something (I have a photo project on the go that is giving me some frustration) and I laughed when I read this quote.  Anyone who has tried to teach…

  • innocence

    If you’ve read my blog for awhile you’ll know I have a soft spot for bears (while at the time being deathly afraid of them).  Of the bear pictures I’ve taken this one is my favourite just because I love the expression of innocence.  He wasn’t scared or aggressive with us as we watched from…

  • a walk in the park

    “All truly great thoughts are conceived while walking.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols A few more colourful shots from my Thanksgiving morning walk in the park…

  • Calm

    It was easy to take reflection pictures, when the water was so calm.
