French Quarter after the rain
I loved taking photos at night in the French Quarter – it’s just as pretty and colourful at night as it is during the day. The restaurant in the picture, the Italian Barrel, was one of my favourites of the trip, and I’d highly recommend it if you find yourself in New Orleans. A block…

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…

macaws at the Audubon Zoo
New Orleans is such a great place because there is no shortage of things to do and see. The Audubon Zoo was on the list mostly because I enjoy taking pictures of animals and I hoped to take some elephant pictures (I’ve daydreamed about going on safari for my next significant birthday – since the…

At times it…

Walking in the French Quarter
Two things about walking in the French Quarter – drivers in New Orleans are crazy and so are cyclists. Pedestrians don’t have the right of way when crossing at an intersection and if you’re crossing a one way street make sure to look the other way so you don’t get hit by a cyclist (who…

the sun shines in New Orleans
Now that I’m home from New Orleans and have some new photos to share, I’ll be back to posting more regularly. For the foreseeable future, it will likely be very heavy on New Orleans pics. We arrived on a Tuesday evening, after the sun had set, checked in to the apartment I found on Airbnb,…

Jackson Square, New Orleans
On vacation for a few more days in New Orleans… St. Louis Cathedral is one of the most photographed buildings in the United States (and, apparently inspired Walt Disney’s Disney World Castle)…
