  • a good book

    A good book is a good book, wherever you are reading it, but a good book enjoyed while sitting outside is one of my favourite things.  These are pics taken during a trip to Cypress Hills this past summer when I was taking a break from reading at our campsite. The book I was reading…

  • Maybe everytime it snows I’ll post pictures of flowers instead…

    We had our first snowfall yesterday and I’m so not inspired to take pictures of snow yet. Instead, I was inspired to go through my photo library and look for pictures of flowers I haven’t posted yet… anyone who lived through the Year of Winter 2012-2013 will understand why!

  • gold

    This is the time of year when everything starts to turn to gold.  Spring and summer are my favourite seasons, but I have to admit this is a pretty time of the year (although not here today as it’s windy, grey, and wet).  November and March are my least favourite months of the year –…

  • Sunday Morning Miscellany

    A lazy Sunday morning seems like a good time to post a few miscellaneous pictures. I’ll likely do another “Photography Lessons – Things I’ve Learned” post soon as I feel like I’ve learned a lot this summer, but this morning I just feel like posting a variety of pics I’ve taken in the last few…

  • sunflowers on a Saturday afternoon

    Is there a more cheerier flower than a sunflower?  I don’t think so. I took these pictures a few weeks ago on a very hot Saturday afternoon from a gravel road between two fields near Pangman, Saskatchewan (south of Regina).  The wind was blowing, so I had to sometimes hold the stems with one hand,…

  • Queen Elizabeth II Gardens

    The Queen Elizabeth II Gardens in front of the Legislative Building is always on my list of places to photograph. Since today is a holiday, it was the perfect time to get up early and take some photos before there were a lot of other people around with the same idea. What a beautiful morning.

  • happy

    I loved this wildflower meadow…these yellow flowers just look happy.

  • Chocolate Lilies

    Many of the inlets we visited were full of beautiful wild flowers, some of which I’d never seen before…like the chocolate lily.

  • My Great Bear Rainforest Adventure – Part 2

    The seaplane trip from Prince Rupert to Hartley Bay was 45 minutes – I’m generally not prone to motion sickness but we hit a few air pockets that had my stomach in my mouth, but I managed to pull it together and continue taking pictures from the plane. I can’t say I loved the seaplane…

  • pretty light on a Saturday night

    Flowers on my balcony…

  • Coffee Break

    I worked the weekend, so I’m off today and thought I would tackle some spring cleaning projects (ie. organizing my storage closet where everything I didn’t know what to do with this winter ended up).  My reward for my efforts was enjoying afternoon coffee on my balcony where I get full afternoon sun.  (I took…

  • Build Me Up Buttercup

    …and just like that we are into Spring, actually Summer-like, temperatures.  It’s been a beautiful few days here and suddenly the never-ending winter is a thing of the past. We melted at work today and are hopeful tomorrow will be a bit cooler inside (I’m definitely not complaining about the outside temperature!) otherwise we may…
