  • a trip to the camera store in Jasper…

    This is one of my favourite pics I took while camping in Jasper National Park.  After supper one night, we drove from Whistlers Campground to Jasper to check out the camera store.  It was closed, so we decided to go on an evening wildlife viewing drive in the Jasper Park Lodge area. While leaving town,…

  • go!

    “It’s opener, out there, in the wide, open air.” ― Dr. Seuss, Oh, The Places You’ll Go! Whether by plane.. or by train… Maybe by boat… But very likely by car… Whatever direction you choose… Just go somewhere this summer! (All this to say I’m looking forward to camping in Jasper very soon!)

  • look at that face

    An animal’s eyes have the power to speak a great language. – Martin Buber I’m not a vegetarian. I like crispy bacon and juicy steaks and bison burgers and chicken fajitas, and I’m not opposed to people who hunt in order to have meat in their freezer, but I am strongly opposed to hunting for…

  • Pelican in Profile

    Sometimes you take your camera with and just hope you find something interesting to photograph…and today didn’t disappoint…

  • Miss Abilene

    This is Abilene, my niece’s dog…she’s as sweet as pie…although I’m not sure she enjoyed her photo shoot (which consisted of me following her around the living room).

    Walking to the beach to watch one last sunset over the Pacific Ocean at Kaanapali Beach and this Egret caught my eye….

  • Surfing Goat Dairy

    I like goats. I like goat cheese.  There’s a dairy farm on Maui called Surfing Goat Dairy that makes goat cheese and offers tours of their farm where you can feed the goats – how could we not visit it?  The GPS had other thoughts (you would think it would be impossible to get lost…

  • spring!

    What a beautiful early spring Sunday! This friendly neighbourhood squirrel certainly looks like it had a good winter and is just as happy it’s spring as we all are… If you’ve visited before, I hope you like the changes to my site.  I’ve been sharing photos, thoughts, and quotes for the past few years now…

  • Surfing Goats in Upcountry Maui

    The weather in Maui has been unsettled for much of the week, but yesterday was a nice day to be a tourist so we headed to Upcountry Maui to visit Surfing Goat Dairy, Tedeschi Vineyards and Haleakala National Park.  It’s a really beautiful, lush area – we could have also visited a vodka distillery, a…

  • sleeping porcupine

    I didn’t take many pictures on my Christmas vacation (well, other than family selfies with my new selfie stick, it’s totally ridiculous, but it works!), but we did go out on a short excursion on Boxing Day to Finlayson Island in Battleford. And came upon a porcupine sleeping in a tree. You just never know…

    ….that moment when you are about to drift off and enjoy a nice Sunday afternoon nap and someone gets down on the floor and sticks a camera in your face…

  • squirrelly

    Just something silly for a Sunday morning….my collection of squirrel pictures. They are entertaining little creatures!
