Classic Canadiana

A glimpse of the Banff Springs Hotel (someday I’ll stay here, but a visit to the Rundle Lounge in the Hotel is the next best thing!) And further down the road, a sliver of beautiful Lake Louise…. Since this is the first of my… Continue Reading “Classic Canadiana”

October Colours in Regina

Thanksgiving Monday was a beautiful day in Regina.  My camera has not been out as much as I would have liked this summer, but the holiday was the perfect opportunity to go for a wander, camera in hand.

I’ve only been as far east as Quebec City, and would… Continue Reading “Canada 150 – My Beautiful Country”

Canada 150 – Cypress Hills, Saskatchewan

When I was a kid, there were three places we’d drive to that I would look forward to with much anticipation.  One was driving through Saskatoon on our way to my grandparents’ house.  We’d drive by the beautiful University of Saskatchewan campus, and I’d… Continue Reading “Canada 150 – Cypress Hills, Saskatchewan”
