  • the Leg. on a Saturday Afternoon

    I took these pictures of the Legislative Building with my iPhone on Saturday after work. I haven’t taken a lot of pics this winter, but now that the days are getting longer and the temperature is getting warmer, I’m starting to come out of hibernation! It’s been a long winter, with a LOT of snow.…

  • Grand Canyon of Yellowstone

    In the summer of 2008, we went on a road trip through South Dakota to the Black Hills and then on to Yellowstone.  It was on this trip that I started to become more interested in photography and to put some thought into taking pictures rather than pointing the camera at something and just shooting.…

  • Love is…

    Happy Valentine’s Day!  When I go camping with my parents every summer, this is the mug I have to drink my coffee from!  

  • Weekend Reading

    These are some of the books I’ve accumulated in my office this week.  I definitely won’t read them all this weekend, but it’s a sampling of some of my current interests – reading about the northern rainforest in preparation for my dream trip in late spring/early summer, looking for recipes for a nice Saturday night…

  • Maui in the evening

    “I went to Maui to stay a week and remained five. I never spent so pleasant a month before, or bade any place goodbye so regretfully. I have not once thought of business, or care or human toil or trouble or sorrow or weariness, and the memory of it will remain with me always.” ― Mark…

  • Maui Morning

    It’s still cold here.  I’ve gone out and about taking pictures in the cold a few times, but I’m not really inspired at the moment.  So, I’m back to looking through my photo library and at this time of year, my pics from Maui are the ones that stand out.  These are all from Kaanapali…

  • escape

    I’m trying not to dwell on it, but this is going to be a long winter…and because the plan is to do a big trip later in the year (I have a milestone birthday this year and want to do something memorable), there is probably no winter escape in my future this year.  So, I…

  • blue skies

    As I write this, we are in the middle of another snowstorm.  I’ve lost count at how many snowstorms we’ve had this winter.  It’s getting to be a bit much… I took these cloud/blue sky pictures on Saturday which was a much nicer day! This is what it looked like downtown this afternoon…ugh… I will…

  • garden mums in January

    I usually don’t post twice in one day, but I liked these garden mum pics.  The mums bloomed into October and then it snowed and I never got around to cleaning out the pots.  Surprisingly, they don’t look too bad, so I’ll leave them for the rest of the winter.  I took the frosty pic…

  • rooftops

    I went out on my balcony this morning (it was only about -6 outside, so not too bad!) and got this shot.  I’m quite happy with the way it turned out and how the brick on the First Baptist Church (foreground) and Knox-Metropolitan United Church looks on a grey Sunday morning. That’s Regina’s City Hall…

  • the Scotties at Christmas

    In June, I posted a couple of pics of my brother and sister-in-law’s Scotties, Casey and Finnigan.  I think they are particularly photogenic.  Finnigan is like the elder statesman, watching over all the proceedings, and Casey is like the kid brother who always wants to tag along and just wants everyone to like him.  He…

  • winter is not my favourite season, but it still can be pretty

    winter is not my favourite season, but it still can be pretty

    “What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.” ― John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley: In Search of America It could be a long winter here. We’ve had snow since the end of October. A lot of snow. We’ve had freezing rain, too, making walking and driving treacherous…
