  • 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…

  • Plethora of Pelicans

    I had no idea there were so many pelicans in Wascana Park… The pictures above were taken a couple of weeks ago, so then I had to go into my photo library and have a look at the other pelican pictures I’ve taken, mostly near the Albert Street Bridge. The last two are my favourite,…

  • Canada 150 – wide open spaces

    I grew up in a house with a field just beyond our backyard, in a town that was seemingly plunked down in the middle of nowhere. It was surrounded by fields, and in one direction, beyond the fields were the Great Sandhills.  I can tolerate crowds, I’ve lived in a city since I finished high…

    early spring on the prairies

    “Not a breath of air stirred over the free and open prairie; the clouds were like light piles of cotton; and where the blue sky was visible, it wore a hazy and languid aspect.” -Francis Parkman   A quick break from New Orleans pics…this is just south of Regina last week. The last few weeks…

  • Blessed Sacrament Church

    I’m not a religious person, but I like to take pictures of churches.  Blessed Sacrament is Regina’s second oldest church still in use (built in 1905), although it’s currently closed for renovations.

  • The Honouring Tree

    The Honouring Tree was installed in Wascana Centre on August 31, 2011, and I have to admit for all the many, many times I’ve walked around the lake since then, this fall was the first time I noticed it. It was a project initiated by the Saskatchewan African Canadian Heritage Museum Board, and is meant…

  • Wascana Park Benches

    Fog on Monday morning made for mysterious, moody scenes in Wascana Park…fitting for the week of Halloween.

  • beauty of open space

    The question is not what you look at, but what you see. – Thoreau I don’t understand people who don’t see the beauty of the prairies! So, if you’re not from here, and you happen to be driving through Saskatchewan on your summer vacation, veer off the TransCanada Highway for a bit on a grid…

  • conserve water

    This may not be a common sight in Regina for the next little while since we’re being asked to conserve water because of a water quality issue. The first call to conserve water went out on Monday (I took this pic on Sunday!) and apparently there’s been no significant reduction in the amount of water…

  • cherry blossoms on a beautiful May weekend

    That is one good thing about this world…there are always sure to be more springs -L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Avonlea I love summer, but spring is my favourite time of the year…specifically, late spring when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom…

  • Pelican in Profile

    Sometimes you take your camera with and just hope you find something interesting to photograph…and today didn’t disappoint…
