  • vacation

    I work today then I’m on vacation for a little over a week – going to one of my favourite places, Vancouver Island.  This picture was taken near Tofino at Mackenzie Beach a couple of years ago.  That isn’t the destination this time, although I’d love to go back there. I’m really looking forward to…

  • petunias and blue sky

    This has been a pretty perfect weekend weather-wise – hello summer!  Went grocery shopping yesterday before supper and everyone looked sun-kissed (or burnt!) and mellow and just content.  We had what seemed like six months of winter (the sad part is that’s not a big exaggeration), we needed this summer weather. Now I have to…

  • Favourite Day of the Year

    Yesterday, when the guy at the greenhouse asked me if I was happy with my purchases as I was leaving, I told him choosing my flowers was one of my favourite days of the year. I planted my flowers today, and enjoyed every minute of digging my hands in the soil, so it’s one of…

  • Lunch Break Post

    It’s finally starting to feel like Spring, and time to enjoy the outdoors on my lunch breaks at work. Every so often, I’m planning to do posts of things I see on my walks. This is what I saw today. This is part of the Immigrant Recognition Sculpture titled Regina Lace in front of City…

  • the lowly petunia

    I used to think petunias were boring.  When I first started planting flowers on my balcony,  I would choose plants at the greenhouse that were more interesting and prettier – gerbera daisies, garden mums, fuchsias and a host of flowers that bloomed once and never again. I was attracted to the flash of colour and…

  • reflection

    At this time last year, I was anticipating my trip to the Great Bear Rainforest in northern BC.  I had lots of conflicting thoughts – did I make the right decision in choosing this trip to celebrate a momentous birthday?  I wanted to do something outside my comfort zone, but at the same time, why…

  • Sunflower against a farmer’s field

    Just a pretty picture of a sunflower taken in late August last year near Pangman, SK. I’ve posted this one before, but it’s one of my favourites. I enjoy photography as a hobby because it makes me look at my surroundings differently (I’ve likely written that before). I like to observe things and photography is…

  • side of the road

    Some lyrics from one of my favourite songs, “Side of the Road” by one of my favourite bands, Blue Rodeo…and because the pictures remind me of my summer job in university spent walking through farmers’ fields doing a corrosion survey of a pipeline. I remember one particular moment very clearly. I was done walking my…

  • Old Quebec

    When I was a little kid, we had to drive long distances to visit relatives.  I used to wish there was a fast forward button so we could just get there.  On this rainy, dreary April Sunday afternoon, I would use that fast forward button to go to Quebec City, specifically Old Quebec. I loved…

  • Spectacle Lake

    I’d forgotten about these pics until a few days ago when I was looking for pictures to go with my last post.  This is Spectacle Lake in Algonquin Park in Ontario.  This was just a one night stop at Spectacle Lake Lodge on a trip to Quebec City in 2010. It was a beautiful, peaceful…

  • Let’s Go For A Walk in the Woods Today

    A collection of a few of my favourite pics taken while walking in the woods…

  • Butchart Gardens

    I’m planning a trip to Vancouver Island and really looking forward to visiting Butchart Gardens in Victoria again.  Looking back at pictures from 2009 when I was there for the first time, I realized this is where my love of taking close up pictures of flowers began!
