  • Summer in the City

    Healthy Mindset – Days 59-61 Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before. Dalai Lama Over the next few months, the challenge is to find that someplace close to home! I’ve lived in Regina for a long time now, and never walked around Wascana Marsh until about a month ago. It’s a beautiful spot…

  • Full Moon After A Spectacular Summer Day

    Full Moon After A Spectacular Summer Day

    Between 9am and midnight on Saturday, I spent a total of about an hour inside.  That is a perfect summer day in my books.  We are in the midst of a heatwave here (a thunderstorm with a good soaking rain would be most welcome). It’s the kind of heat that soaks into your bones, and…

    What caught my eye this week

    I took my camera out of my purse quite often this week…here’s a smattering of what caught my eye…

  • football players have the nicest arms

    This is a bit of a silly post, but it’s summer, it’s hot outside, and I’ve been busy at work, so a little fun is in order.  The Roughriders may be 0 and 3 to start the season and the crowd at tomorrow night’s game (night games are my favourite) could get even more rowdy…

  • Labour Day Classic

    Here are some pictures from my seat in Section 9 at Mosaic Stadium for the Labour Day Classic against the Blue Bombers – as usual for this game, it was a great atmosphere!

  • Mosaic Stadium at Taylor Field on a Saturday Night

    8 o’clock start time meant there was nice light at the beginning of the game… Turned out to be a nice night to watch football and the ‘Riders won which is even better! I’ll miss Taylor Field when the new stadium is done in 2017. I have mixed feelings about the cost of a new…

  • Grey Cup 101

    I had high hopes prior to last week that I would get some spectacular photos during Grey Cup Festival events and at the game itself.  Alas, I have excuses why I didn’t accomplish that goal! It was cold outside. Really cold.  (Although, perhaps that’s not really a good excuse because I did take pictures at…

  • “Open Your Eyes and Look!”

    “We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.” – Jawaharial Nehru Photography is a wonderful hobby because you start looking at everything you see in a whole new way. It…

  • sick day

    I have a cold.  It’s your regular, run of the mill cold – itchy watery eyes, runny nose, aches, pains and fever and no energy. I’m feeling pretty miserable right now.  To make matters worse I can’t sleep because new windows are getting installed on the floor below me so there has been some sawing…

  • a beautiful Sunday afternoon

    a beautiful Sunday afternoon

    What a perfect afternoon for a football game. The temperature was about 22 degrees, it was sunny, and there was no wind (and when it’s windy at Taylor Field it’s no fun for the players, and fans).  The Roughriders have had an up and down season, and really needed a win this afternoon, plus it’s…

  • Rider Pride

    The Canadian Football League season is in full-swing now, and my team, the Saskatchewan Roughriders, is the best team in the league right now, after a sub-par season last year.  If you aren’t familiar with the CFL, it’s an eight team professional football league that runs from July-November.  I love the CFL.  There are just…

  • Green

    Today’s theme is the colour green. I promised myself I wasn’t going to get carried away with the artistic effect, but the first picture was originally somewhat out of focus, and I like how it looks with the effect. Somewhere in Pacific Rim National Park trying to find a hiking trail, Vancouver Island. Underneath the…
