  • cherry blossoms on a beautiful May weekend

    That is one good thing about this world…there are always sure to be more springs -L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Avonlea I love summer, but spring is my favourite time of the year…specifically, late spring when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom…

  • Haleakala mystery

    Does anyone know what this is? I haven’t been able to figure it out.  I didn’t want to touch it so I don’t know if it was growing there (there were no other plants growing nearby) or more likely the wind blew it there. Whatever the case, I’m always attracted to colour so I was…

  • daisies at Orveas Bay

    These are daisies at Orveas Bay Resort on Vancouver Island near Sooke (about 45 minutes from Victoria).  I spent about an hour one morning just wandering around taking pictures of all the daisies on the property.  It was one of my favourite memories of that trip (and I highly recommend staying at Orveas Bay if…

  • outside my window

    There’s always a camera on the arm of the chair in my living room so when I see something outside my window, I’m ready to go.  These are some of the the images I’ve captured in the last couple of weeks…

  • gerbera daisy four ways

    Just something pretty on a grey, gloomy, windy day…  

  • bright morning sunshine

    My last post lamented the onset of fall because it means winter is that much closer…considering we’re in the middle of a heatwave (31 on Thursday is the forecast!) it might have seemed a bit silly.  The optimist in me hopes we don’t have snow until late November (December 24 would be ideal actually), but…

  • petunias

    Petunias on my balcony…

  • lilies and a gerbera daisy

    Flowers are my favourite subject matter for photography…these are my favourite ones I’ve taken lately. I took the lily picture last Sunday in Rotary Park – I’ve walked there plenty of times but I guess never when the lilies were blooming because I’m pretty sure I would have noticed!  They were spectacular that day.  I…

  • fuchsia

    I always buy one Fuchsia plant for my balcony every spring – two years ago it bloomed well into September, last year it died by this time, and this year it’s hanging in there and is going to erupt in blooms again any day now. (I took these pictures in late June.)

  • Lake Louise Tulips

    Just some pretty tulips spotted by the Chateau Lake Louise sign (I was happier with this picture than with the pictures I took of Lake Louise, actually).

  • Butchart Gardens Close-ups

    A few of my favourite shots from Butchart Gardens in Victoria….

  • featured daisy

    Since daisies are my favourite flowers, I was thrilled to see so many wild daisies at Orveas Bay Resort.  One morning I spent about an hour with my camera just trying to capture them in different ways.  Here’s one… ….and to continue from yesterday’s post, after I thought about what I wrote, I realized a…
