  • One of those lazy, hazy, heatwave days

    Heatwave!  If you live pretty much anywhere in Saskatchewan this week and find yourself away from an air-conditioned environment, you’ll be searching for a tree to at least get out of the sun. Hard to escape the sweat, though, factoring in the humidex, it will be +40 here tomorrow!

  • Sunday in the park

    Beautiful day for a picnic in Wascana Park…   

  • storm clouds on the prairies

    Wednesday afternoon near Shaunavon, SK after crossing the border back into Canada after a quick road trip to Glacier National Park in Montana… There are many things to like about Montana, and I will include my thoughts and photos in a post in the near future, but this is actually my favourite picture from the…

  • a country drive

    Pictures from last Saturday morning’s drive in the country… the goal was to take pictures of the St. Nicholas Anglican Church near Craven in the Qu’Appelle Valley and see what else we could find along the way (like the donkeys in my last post!).  Off to Montana tomorrow where it’s going to be hot, hot,…

  • Donkey close-ups on a Saturday morning

    I’ve likely said it previously, but animals have become my favourite subject matter to photograph. Saturday’s plan was take pictures of a little church on the prairies near Regina that I spotted last year, but the road to get to it had been washed out. After successfully finding the church, and enjoying the peacefulness of…

  • Monday Quotes

    Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them – that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.  – Lao Tzu The prairie skies can always make you see more than what you believe. ― Jackson Burnett, The Past Never Ends

  • football players have the nicest arms

    This is a bit of a silly post, but it’s summer, it’s hot outside, and I’ve been busy at work, so a little fun is in order.  The Roughriders may be 0 and 3 to start the season and the crowd at tomorrow night’s game (night games are my favourite) could get even more rowdy…

  • the cutest thing you’ve seen today!

    Sometimes it pays to be patient.  Three years ago when I went to Jasper on the annual camping adventure with my parents, I really wanted to get a picture of a mountain goat, just because I didn’t have one and I like taking pictures of animals.  It’s good to have goals, but no mountain goats…

  • 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,…

  • Astotin Lake Sunset

    Astotin Lake at Elk Island National Park  in Alberta (approximately 45 minutes east of Edmonton) on the last night of my annual camping adventure with my parents… We saw a lot of wildlife while we were in Jasper National Park (I’ll share pics in upcoming posts), but the best sunset of the trip was at…

  • Maligne Lake boat house

    Of the sightseeing we did in Jasper, Maligne Lake was my favourite stop. I think I may even prefer it to Lake Louise which I wasn’t expecting. It’s still a very touristy spot, but has a more relaxed atmosphere, and of course, the scenery is beautiful. The bonus of a cloud-filled sky made for pretty…

  • Maligne Lake

    Maligne Lake in Jasper National Park…black bears galore on the drive up!
