  • red

    Red isn’t my favourite colour (cobalt blue is), but as I was going through my photo library deciding what I wanted to share today, these are the pictures that grabbed my attention.  

  • inspiration

    I’ve been very fortunate in the last few years to see some pretty amazing scenery in my travels.  I’ve posted a picture previously of the last morning on my trip through the Great Bear Rainforest as we headed back to Hartley Bay to meet the plane. But while the scenery itself was spectacular throughout the…

  • denial

    Since spring/summer weather was so late to arrive this year, I’m in denial that today is the first day of fall… so here are some pictures from the Summer Solstice at English Bay in Vancouver.  It was a beautiful evening and it felt like everyone in the city was out enjoying the warm summer night.…

  • gold

    This is the time of year when everything starts to turn to gold.  Spring and summer are my favourite seasons, but I have to admit this is a pretty time of the year (although not here today as it’s windy, grey, and wet).  November and March are my least favourite months of the year –…

  • Sunday Morning Miscellany

    A lazy Sunday morning seems like a good time to post a few miscellaneous pictures. I’ll likely do another “Photography Lessons – Things I’ve Learned” post soon as I feel like I’ve learned a lot this summer, but this morning I just feel like posting a variety of pics I’ve taken in the last few…

  • Photography Lessons – Patience and Persistence

    I’ve learned a lot of photography lessons this summer.  The first two are patience and persistence.  These occurred many times on my trip to the Great Bear Rainforest in mid-June with Ocean Adventures. The most memorable one was when we were on the zodiac for six hours one afternoon. We had a very hearty lunch…

  • sunflowers on a Saturday afternoon

    Is there a more cheerier flower than a sunflower?  I don’t think so. I took these pictures a few weeks ago on a very hot Saturday afternoon from a gravel road between two fields near Pangman, Saskatchewan (south of Regina).  The wind was blowing, so I had to sometimes hold the stems with one hand,…

  • The Road Not Taken

    I realized as I was going through my photo library today that I like to take pictures of roads. One of my favourite poems is The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost. So, today’s post is a combination of two of my favourite things (and yes, the last picture is not of a road, but…

  • Queen Elizabeth II Gardens

    The Queen Elizabeth II Gardens in front of the Legislative Building is always on my list of places to photograph. Since today is a holiday, it was the perfect time to get up early and take some photos before there were a lot of other people around with the same idea. What a beautiful morning.

  • “Open Your Eyes and Look!”

    “We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.” – Jawaharial Nehru Photography is a wonderful hobby because you start looking at everything you see in a whole new way. It…

  • Wooly Bully

    Most of my Saturday was spent south of the city taking pictures in the country, on a very hot day (about 35 degrees), starting at about noon til 8pm.  This fine specimen seemed like he wanted to model for me (I was across the road), so I obliged him and then for the rest of…

  • Sunset Silhouettes @ English Bay

    English Bay in Vancouver is one of my favourite places. These shots are from a beautiful Friday evening in June where it seemed like everyone was just happy to be outside enjoying the longest day of the year, watching the sunset at English Bay.  I focused in on these two as I found his body…
