Canada 150 – wide open spaces
I grew up in a house with a field just beyond our backyard, in a town that was seemingly plunked down in the middle of nowhere. It was surrounded by fields, and in one direction, beyond the fields were the Great Sandhills. I can tolerate crowds, I’ve lived in a city since I finished high…

Canada 150 – My Beautiful Country
Summer in Canada to me means going somewhere and seeing some of my beautiful country. Canada is such a wonderfully diverse country and I appreciate it all…prairies, mountains, ocean, and our cities, too. I’ve only been as far east as Quebec City, and would love to see the east coast of Canada someday. Summer Solstice,…

Canada 150 – Cypress Hills, Saskatchewan
When I was a kid, there were three places we’d drive to that I would look forward to with much anticipation. One was driving through Saskatoon on our way to my grandparents’ house. We’d drive by the beautiful University of Saskatchewan campus, and I’d imagine going to university there. I loved every second of my…

Canada 150 – Island Lake Lodge
Throughout this month, in honour of Canada’s 150th birthday on July 1, I’m going to share photos of some of the places I’ve visited in my beautiful country. You’ll find Island Lake Lodge up, up, up a long, winding road on the outskirts of Fernie, British Columbia. Beautiful scenery, delicious food, hiking trails for every…

Great Bear Rainforest
You only need sit still long enough in some attractive spot in the woods that all its inhabitants may exhibit themselves to you by turns. Henry David Thoreau In the case of these photos, the attractive spot was on the water, in a zodiac with six other people being as still and quiet as possible…

a bridge to watch the sunset
The pedestrian bridge over the North Saskatchewan River between Battleford and North Battleford has become one of my favourite places to photograph. If you’re ever in the area make sure to take in the sunset from the bridge. I’ve been visiting this area of Saskatchewan since birth, really, but it’s only in the last few…

up on the roof
Still have some Puerto Vallarta pics to share which is a good thing! Between being busy at work and figuring out how I’m going to handle my workload, and being uninspired by the April landscapes this year, I haven’t picked up a camera in awhile. The prospect of May flowers, though, will change that soon!…

…more than just books on the shelves…
One Sunday morning when I walked in to work and had the library to myself, I noticed there was nice light in the stacks and got out my phone and took a couple of pictures. One of the perks of being in the library before it opens, is walking through the stacks undisturbed! Fast forward…

the sky is my endless fascination
As in Maui in 2015, I don’t think I missed a sunset in Puerto Vallarta. The sky is my endless fascination. Most of the sunset pictures I took in Puerto Vallarta were from the rooftop pool. I don’t really have a bucket list, but I’ve always wanted to stay somewhere with a private pool. …a…

tropical kingfisher?
Every morning in Puerto Vallarta while enjoying a cup of coffee, I’d have my camera ready to take pictures of activity in Banderas Bay – sometimes it was a cruise ship coming into port or fishing boats, but a lot of times I was trying to capture all the different birds that landed in view…

walking in Puerto Vallarta
Puerto Vallarta is a wonderful city. It also made me mad, sometimes! (Mad, might be too strong a word). But, the great thing about travel is it makes you adapt. You can’t think things are going to be like they are at home. That’s the point of travel – to see and experience different things.…
