  • stopping on the side of the Trans-Canada Highway to take pictures of wildlife

    Since it’s always good to have something to aim for, I have a list in my head of things I’d like to take pictures of.  I like animals, so there are a lot of animals on that list. Whenever I’m in the mountains, I’m on the lookout for mountain goats. They were elusive in Jasper…

  • Bears

    I’ve shared these pics before, but I watched a great DisneyNature documentary the other night called Bears which made me go back and look at pictures I took in the Great Bear Rainforest last year. If you like nature documentaries and/or bears you will enjoy this film. The filmmakers captured amazing footage of a mother…

  • Wascana Waterfowl Park

    I hate to admit that even though I’ve lived in Regina for a long time I’ve never been to the Wascana Waterfowl Park – sure I’ve seen geese and ducks and pelicans around Wascana Lake, but the Waterfowl Park is a nice little area I’ve always known about, but just never checked it.  Next time…

  • snuggles

    Often on my trip to Banff with my parents, we’d go for a drive after supper and take in the sights.  One night we were driving through the Tunnel Mountain Campground and came upon a herd of elk. It was after 10 o’clock so the light wasn’t that great, and I don’t really even remember…

  • late Saturday afternoon walk

    It feels like Spring has finally sprung here, so it was great to be outside with a lighter jacket, go for a walk and take some pictures.  These are some of the things I saw…

  • Wascana Park Geese

    Of the 75 or so pictures I took of the geese in Wascana Park this afternoon, these are the only ones that somewhat turned out (and all of them are cropped to differing extents).  It was cold and holding the camera steady while reminding myself not to shiver, proved very challenging.  My index finger is…

  • Yes, You Got Me

    On last year’s trip to the Great Bear Rainforest we saw seals frequently. However, every time I got my camera ready to get a picture they escaped back under the water. Then it became a game to snap a picture and I was determined I’d get a decent one before the end of the trip.…

  • Road Trippin’ 2014

    I’m in the midst of planning a road trip for late spring along the West Coast of the US ending up in Wine Country…of course!  I always take pictures from the car and here’s a sampling of my road collection….

  • three dogs at Christmas

    It was a cold Christmas and the three dogs in my family didn’t go outside much during the frigid temperatures… Finnigan, my brother and sister-in-law’s Scottie, may have been daydreaming about warmer climates… like here maybe… Casey, Finnigan’s brother, just wanted someone to play with him… With his favourite red ball, like last Christmas…say the…

  • innocence

    If you’ve read my blog for awhile you’ll know I have a soft spot for bears (while at the time being deathly afraid of them).  Of the bear pictures I’ve taken this one is my favourite just because I love the expression of innocence.  He wasn’t scared or aggressive with us as we watched from…

  • Photography Lessons – Patience and Persistence

    I’ve learned a lot of photography lessons this summer.  The first two are patience and persistence.  These occurred many times on my trip to the Great Bear Rainforest in mid-June with Ocean Adventures. The most memorable one was when we were on the zodiac for six hours one afternoon. We had a very hearty lunch…

  • Wooly Bully

    Most of my Saturday was spent south of the city taking pictures in the country, on a very hot day (about 35 degrees), starting at about noon til 8pm.  This fine specimen seemed like he wanted to model for me (I was across the road), so I obliged him and then for the rest of…
