off to the mountains
Two days of work and then I’m off to the mountains…not the mountains in this picture just outside of Banff…but close. Not sure if I’ll be posting anything while I’m away, maybe the odd pic from my phone. Thank you for your visits so far, hopefully I’ll have lots of interesting pics to post when…

Miscellaneous Montreal
Today’s pics are from a day in Montreal in June 2010. Old Montreal Phillips Square dates back to 1842. The statue of King Edward VII was erected in 1914. Too bad about all the pigeon poop.

Rider Pride
The Canadian Football League season is in full-swing now, and my team, the Saskatchewan Roughriders, is the best team in the league right now, after a sub-par season last year. If you aren’t familiar with the CFL, it’s an eight team professional football league that runs from July-November. I love the CFL. There are just…

Summer Reading
I’m going camping in a week. One of my favourite parts about camping is reading by the campfire until the last bit of sun is gone. Not sure I’ll have room in my luggage for all these books, though!

Summers Are for Road Trips – Montreal Edition
One full day in Montreal is obviously not enough time to even scratch the surface of all the sights in the city. Most of the pictures I took are from Place d’Armes (including Notre Dame Basilica), Old Montreal and a few while wandering downtown. These pics are from Place d’Armes, an area that dates back…

Summer Spaghettini Salad
I don’t profess to be an expert in the kitchen. I like to cook, I like to experiment, and I like to “jazz” things up. Sometimes my experiments are tasty, sometimes they are not. I’ve been a Type 1 diabetic for nine years (aka juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes) and have to account for everything…

Quebec City – Part Three
These are pictures from Lower Town in Old Quebec. Like I’ve said previously, you can spend lots of time just wandering around Old Quebec. You don’t really need a plan, just step out your hotel door and start walking (which is how most of my vacations end up – just a general plan and then…

Quebec City – Part Two
Old Quebec is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It’s compromised of Upper Town and Lower Town, and the ramparts surrounding Old Quebec are a National Historic Site of Canada. These are pictures from walking around Upper Town. If you like to walk and wander and admire beautiful surroundings this is a perfect place to visit.…

Summers Are For Road Trips – Quebec City
I love Quebec City, specifically Old Quebec. I’ve never been to Europe, but I imagine it’s like being in a European city. Founded in 1608, it’s one of North America’s oldest cities. The Chateau Frontenac is reported to be one of the most photographed hotels in the world. I took my fair share of pictures.…

Summers Are for Road Trips
I love summer road trips. My next one will be a camping trip to Jasper National Park in a couple of weeks. Over the next week or so, my plan is to post pictures from a road trip to Ontario and Quebec in June, 2010. These are pictures from the Women are Persons! Monument in…

Lunch Break Post
Just a quick post while on my lunch break. Daisies are my all-time favourite flowers. I’m pretty certain I’ve never quoted Drew Barrymore before, but she likes daisies too and said, “daisies are like sunshine to the ground.” Now I’m off to spend the rest of my lunch break outside. Hope it’s equally as nice…
