  • leap of faith

    leap of faith

    Going for it! This squirrel is on a mission…. I may have to take back my last post about not liking November, or qualify it with “I usually don’t like November” because the last few days have been unusually warm here.  This squirrel entertained me this afternoon while I was sitting outside drinking coffee…here’s the…

  • animal therapy

    animal therapy

    For when you have a week that needs a little cute animal therapy to get you through it! And my favourite animal picture I’ve ever taken….just look at that face.  The Great Bear Rainforest in British Columbia is beautiful in so many different ways, but to get this close to a bear who trusted that…

  • a little creature in a big world

    a little creature in a big world

    While I put together a longer post with pictures of a place that according to their website National Geographic Traveler Magazine called one of the most unique and authentic places to stay in Canada, here’s a pic I snapped of a little creature lucky enough to call that part of the world of the home. …

  • sunny days

    sunny days

    We are in the midst of a spring heatwave here…so, after soaking up the sun, it’s nice to just hang out in the shade, too…

  • macaws at the Audubon Zoo

    macaws at the Audubon Zoo

    New Orleans is such a great place because there is no shortage of things to do and see. The Audubon Zoo was on the list mostly because I enjoy taking pictures of animals and I hoped to take some elephant pictures (I’ve daydreamed about going on safari for my next significant birthday – since the…

  • the sun shines in New Orleans

    the sun shines in New Orleans

    Now that I’m home from New Orleans and have some new photos to share, I’ll be back to posting more regularly. For the foreseeable future, it will likely be very heavy on New Orleans pics. We arrived on a Tuesday evening, after the sun had set, checked in to the apartment I found on Airbnb,…

  • counting down the days…

  • Squirrel Poses

    It’s not that I love squirrels, it’s just that they pose so nicely for pictures…. (and I love how it doesn’t even look like winter here in these pictures!  It was so nice to hear birds chirping and squirrels scurrying like it was Spring here on the weekend).

  • Holiday Wishes from Mr. Squirrel

    Warm wishes for a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I hope, like Mr. Squirrel, you enjoy a few treats over the holidays….

  • ways of dealing with things…

    You could be stoic… You could just let it all out… Or just be cute and hope someone helps you out… Just hang out and watch the world go by… Eat! Or just have a nice long nap… It’s your choice!  

  • Donkey close-ups on a Saturday morning

    I’ve likely said it previously, but animals have become my favourite subject matter to photograph. Saturday’s plan was take pictures of a little church on the prairies near Regina that I spotted last year, but the road to get to it had been washed out. After successfully finding the church, and enjoying the peacefulness of…

  • the cutest thing you’ve seen today!

    Sometimes it pays to be patient.  Three years ago when I went to Jasper on the annual camping adventure with my parents, I really wanted to get a picture of a mountain goat, just because I didn’t have one and I like taking pictures of animals.  It’s good to have goals, but no mountain goats…
