standing amongst the clouds
Healthy Mindset – Days 50-52 I’ve been thinking a lot about Maui lately as somewhere I would like to go when it’s “safe” (I’m very tired of that word) to travel more widely again, and when I feel ready to get on a plane again (there will be some time in between the two). It…

Spring in Colour
Healthy Mindset – Days 47 – 49 This is my favourite time of the year, and I’m happy that despite the uncertainty that still surrounds us, the one thing we can count on is that Spring will come. (Although as I type this, it sure doesn’t feel like a warm Spring day). The deep roots…

enough room for everyone
Healthy Mindset – Days 44-46 The thing that has given me the greatest peace of mind through all of this has been going outside. From the beginning, I didn’t interpret “stay home” as having to stay inside. I took it to mean don’t go out unnecessarily (limit shopping to once a week and if the…

prairie crocus
Healthy Mindset – Days 41-43 The top three subjects on my Saskatchewan-related photography list are crocuses, owls, and foxes. Finally, yesterday, I photographed some crocuses! They are a sure sign of spring, only bloom for a very short period of time, and difficult to find, usually only where natural prairie grassland still exists. As with…

three little birds
Healthy Mindset – Days 39 & 40 You know what song I immediately thought of when I saw these three birds last week at Wascana Marsh (I think it’s one of the hidden gems in Regina). I wish I’d brought my other camera to get a better picture, but sometimes you just have to go…

Poser
Healthy Mindset – Days 35-38 I love photographing animals because you just have to stand back and capture what they give you. Most of the time it’s pure gold. How often do you see a llama by the side of the road? This one has loads of personality! Sometimes you just gotta let your inner…

A Sunny Spring Afternoon in Paris
Healthy Mindset – Day 33 & 34 One of the great things about posting regularly on my blog again is that it’s making me go back in my photo library and think about the places I’ve been (I think I might have said that last week, too. It’s hard to keep track of the days!).…

Wildflowers in the Great Bear Rainforest
Healthy Mindset – Day 32 One of my favourite days of the year is when I get dirt under my fingernails and plant my flowers. That’s still a few weeks off, but it was the first warm day here yesterday so I filled my pots with new soil, and figured what will go in each…

my favourite tree
Healthy Mindset – Days 28-31 “You’ll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut.” Dr. Seuss Or, as my Mom would say when I was a kid and couldn’t find something I was looking for, “open your eyes and look!” I’m fascinated by this tree! I’ve photographed it before when it was full…

Scenes From A Walk
Healthy Mindset – Day 26 & 27 I feel very fortunate to live where I do. Even in the middle of the city, it’s not hard to find open space to go for a walk while maintaining physical distancing. Yesterday’s walk was the best part of my day, as it so often has been during…

Notre Dame – May 2018
Healthy Mindset – Day 25 Posting regularly on my blog again has meant reacquainting myself with photographs I haven’t look at in awhile, including the pictures I took of Notre Dame two years ago. As I mentioned the other day, climbing the narrow, winding stairs of the North Tower, was just a fun challengeq was…

…closer to home…
Healthy Mindset – Day 24 With few exceptions in the last month, I’ve gone on a daily walk before making supper. It’s been a nice way to mark the transition from day to evening so it has become something I really look forward to. If you’re trying to find some separation in your days, give…
