  • 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…

  • Things I do to distract myself while doing the dishes

    I don’t like doing dishes.  Tonight, while I was standing in the kitchen doing dishes, I happened to turn around and saw a pretty nice sunset developing outside my living room window.  So, I dried my hands, grabbed my cameras (I’m trying out a new one), opened my balcony door (it was about -16 at…

  • 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…

  • Oh Canada

    I’m a big fan of the Olympics and a bit sad that they are pretty much over. I could wait to post this after the Canada-Sweden men’s hockey gold medal game, but regardless if Canada wins or not, I’ve enjoyed watching all the Canadian athletes. My favourite moments were Regina’s own snowboarder, Mark McMorris, winning…

  • Peruvian Lily

    Just some pretty flowers in nice light…

  • A Colourful Day in Regina

    Temperatures were above freezing here today for the first time in 2014 (at least I think it was the first time this year, it’s been a long winter!) and it was the Family Day holiday, so I spent the afternoon with my camera in my hands (which was also the first time I’ve taken any…

  • Yes, You Got Me

    On last year’s trip to the Great Bear Rainforest we saw seals frequently. However, every time I got my camera ready to get a picture they escaped back under the water. Then it became a game to snap a picture and I was determined I’d get a decent one before the end of the trip.…

  • Happy Valentine’s Day

    -from my elephant collection and a little fun with Photoshop  

  • Sunset Walk

    I’ve been experimenting in Photoshop lately, and these photos are the ones I’m willing to share…so far!  These are from a walk around Wascana Park in early October where the reward at the end of the walk was a beautiful sky at sunset.

  • Moon shots from my balcony

    I wish I could say that these are recent shots because then it would mean it was actually warm enough to hang out on my balcony!  These are from last May when I set up my tripod and spent about an hour watching the sun go down, revealing a crescent moon.  I’ve said it before,…

  • Road Trippin’ 2014

    I’m in the midst of planning a road trip for late spring along the West Coast of the US ending up in Wine Country…of course!  I always take pictures from the car and here’s a sampling of my road collection….

  • Taking A Moment

    The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself. ― Henry Miller These are two of my favourite pictures from my trip to the Great Bear Rainforest last June. I’ve posted them before, but these jumped out at me again when I…
