when in doubt, take pictures of clouds
Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.” ― Rabindranath Tagore, Stray Birds I took a lot of pictures of clouds this week. The first two were from my balcony last Monday night when I was experimenting with my tripod so…

Coffee Break
I worked the weekend, so I’m off today and thought I would tackle some spring cleaning projects (ie. organizing my storage closet where everything I didn’t know what to do with this winter ended up). My reward for my efforts was enjoying afternoon coffee on my balcony where I get full afternoon sun. (I took…

Build Me Up Buttercup
…and just like that we are into Spring, actually Summer-like, temperatures. It’s been a beautiful few days here and suddenly the never-ending winter is a thing of the past. We melted at work today and are hopeful tomorrow will be a bit cooler inside (I’m definitely not complaining about the outside temperature!) otherwise we may…

Hope
When I went grocery shopping the other day I picked up some lettuce and spinach seeds. It finally is starting to feel like spring (although there is snow in the forecast for tomorrow) and just having the seeds in my possession is giving me hope that, yes, maybe this never-ending winter will actually end. So,…

confused geese
The geese have returned to Wascana Park in droves as they do at this time of year, every year. Every June there are so many geese in the park, that a good number of them are rounded up and transported elsewhere. But they must be wondering what the heck right now. Snow! Cold! Only small…

The Continuing Chronicles of the Scottie Dogs
I went to my mom and dad’s this weekend and the Scotties came along too (courtesy my brother, while my sister-in-law stayed home with the flu). The Scotties are always photogenic. Here’s a picture of Casey in a quiet moment. He just wants everyone to like him. Followed by a picture of his distinguished older…

Albert Street Bridge
Spring has arrived! The snow is melting and the days are getting longer so I think it’s safe to say that this longer winter is finally coming to an end. I took a lot of pictures this weekend and it felt great to not have freezing fingers as I held my camera! These are…

hoar frost and an elephant
I love hoar frost. I think there is nothing prettier on a frigidly cold January day than a bright blue sky and hoar frost on the trees. We are well into March and still experiencing frigidly cold mornings and hoar frost on the trees. As I write this, the wind is gusting, the sky is…

fun with KitCam
It was a beautiful, sunny, cold day here and I had the day off. As much as I’m tired and uninspired by the snow, I thought I should actually take some pictures as it is now officially being reported that we’ve had the most amount of snow ever in this city – 196 cm (or…

Clouds
I love my balcony because it’s a great vantage point to take pictures of the sky at any time of the day. I was going through my photo library and re-discovered this one that I took in September. I never get tired of taking pictures of the sky and now that its getting warmer and…

Plaza de la Catedral (Cathedral Square), Havana
In Feburary 2009 we went to Varadero, Cuba for our winter vacation. Cuba is an interesting place to take pictures, and even though it wasn’t my favourite destination, I would like to go back just to take pictures (also because I think I’m a better photographer now and have a better camera!). It’s a very…
