  • Soon

    Spring will come soon, the snow will melt, puddles will dry up, trees will bud, tulips will emerge from the ground…. But c’mon, more snow? More cold? Soon can’t come soon enough! I need new pictures to post here instead of posting from deep within my photo library! Bleak grey skies and dirty snow don’t…

  • Wascana Park Geese

    Of the 75 or so pictures I took of the geese in Wascana Park this afternoon, these are the only ones that somewhat turned out (and all of them are cropped to differing extents).  It was cold and holding the camera steady while reminding myself not to shiver, proved very challenging.  My index finger is…

  • The Big Melt

    Hopefully, the long cold part of winter is over. Temps for the next week are forecast to be above freezing – bye bye snow! (Realistically, if this March is like last March more snow is on the horizon, but the relief from the cold and spending more time outside without the threat of frozen eyelashes,…

  • anxiously awaiting the colours of spring and summer

    The sky is a brilliant blue today, and it’s a balmy -28 degrees (-38 with the windchill) and these Blue Rodeo lyrics (song is “Get Through To You”) are going through my head: Looks like winter’s never gonna leave this grey town I think it’s going to snow all summer Okay, I know winter will…

  • summer over winter

    As I’ve written before, I think Regina is quite a pretty city.  However, I much prefer it in this season… Than in this season… It is currently minus 32 degrees here.  Shudder.  The debate at work is would you rather have the massive amount of snow of the never-ending winter of 2013 or the mind-numbingly…

  • Lahaina Public Library

    Since my brother and sister-in-law are off to Hawaii this week, I’ve been going through my Maui pictures and dreaming of a tropical paradise. Maybe I should apply for a job here. I’m very well qualified. And the Pacific Ocean… just around the corner? I don’t think I could get used to to that at…

  • lazy Sunday reading

    When this is what you wake up to on a Sunday morning: City of Regina 6:13 AM CST Sunday 26 January 2014 Blowing snow warning for City of Regina continued A strong Arctic cold front has pushed across Southern Saskatchewan this morning. This front is ushering in strong northerly winds gusting to 70 or 80…

  • Battleford, SK

    A few photos I took on my Christmas vacation…. Now on to one of my favourite months – January! Really, I do like January. Calling it one of my favourite months might be pushing it a bit, but I don’t hate it! (This is a relatively new thing, I used to hate it). Yes, it’s…

  • three dogs at Christmas

    It was a cold Christmas and the three dogs in my family didn’t go outside much during the frigid temperatures… Finnigan, my brother and sister-in-law’s Scottie, may have been daydreaming about warmer climates… like here maybe… Casey, Finnigan’s brother, just wanted someone to play with him… With his favourite red ball, like last Christmas…say the…

  • home

    I like to travel, but home is my favourite place. I love my balcony…in any season, the view usually doesn’t disappoint. It will be a few months before I can sit outside with a cup of coffee, though, and that’s disappointing. Why do I live where I live, again? (I think most prairie folks start…

  • 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…

  • fun with KitCam

    It was a beautiful, sunny, cold day here and I had the day off.  As much as I’m tired and uninspired by the snow, I thought I should actually take some pictures as it is now officially being reported that we’ve had the most amount of snow ever in this city – 196 cm (or…
