  • For the Birds (and a bunny)

    Healthy Mindset – Week 15 Being in the right place, at the right time, and then paying attention to what’s around you….photography is a really great hobby because it’s the paying attention and then focusing on whatever has caught your eye that makes it relaxing (at least for me anyway). It’s a great reason to…

  • Spring in Colour

    Spring in Colour

    Healthy Mindset – Days 47 – 49 This is my favourite time of the year, and I’m happy that despite the uncertainty that still surrounds us, the one thing we can count on is that Spring will come. (Although as I type this, it sure doesn’t feel like a warm Spring day). The deep roots…

  • Poser

    Healthy Mindset – Days 35-38 I love photographing animals because you just have to stand back and capture what they give you. Most of the time it’s pure gold. How often do you see a llama by the side of the road? This one has loads of personality! Sometimes you just gotta let your inner…

  • A Memorable Day in the Great Bear Rainforest

    A Memorable Day in the Great Bear Rainforest

    Healthy Mindset – Day 17 This photo is from one of my most memorable days ever. It was on a bear watching trip to the Great Bear Rainforest off the coast of northern British Columbia in June 2013. There were seven of us crammed in a zodiac drifting silently along hoping to spot this bear…

  • All the feelings

    Healthy Mindset – Day 9 Some days in the last few weeks have been exactly like this! Recognizing that it’s normal to have thoughts and feelings come and go throughout the day, even at the best of times, is one way of being kind to yourself. Not getting stuck in the thoughts and feelings that…

  • Plethora of Pelicans

    I had no idea there were so many pelicans in Wascana Park… The pictures above were taken a couple of weeks ago, so then I had to go into my photo library and have a look at the other pelican pictures I’ve taken, mostly near the Albert Street Bridge. The last two are my favourite,…

  • Happy New Year

    Celebrate endings, for they precede new beginnings.      Jonathan Lockwood Huie …and cheers to a fresh start in 2018…my only New Year’s resolution is to take more pictures!

  • Full Moon After A Spectacular Summer Day

    Full Moon After A Spectacular Summer Day

    Between 9am and midnight on Saturday, I spent a total of about an hour inside.  That is a perfect summer day in my books.  We are in the midst of a heatwave here (a thunderstorm with a good soaking rain would be most welcome). It’s the kind of heat that soaks into your bones, and…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • …chill…

    During the busy Christmas season, it’s important to just chill-out a little, too, like Finnigan here….(However, I’m not sure he’s pleased that I got down on the floor, stuck a camera in front of his face and interrupted his quiet time).
