  • “Ocean View”

    “Ocean view” can mean many things when you book accommodations for a trip.  It could mean you if you stand on the very end of your balcony and lean the top half of your body just so over the railing… there it is…an ocean view!  So, I tried not to have too many expectations about…

  • Surfing Goats in Upcountry Maui

    The weather in Maui has been unsettled for much of the week, but yesterday was a nice day to be a tourist so we headed to Upcountry Maui to visit Surfing Goat Dairy, Tedeschi Vineyards and Haleakala National Park.  It’s a really beautiful, lush area – we could have also visited a vodka distillery, a…

  • Kaanapali sunset

    Monday’s sunset at Kaanapali Beach…it’s raining lightly right now so any sunset pictures taken tonight will be from the lanai…I know, life is very tough right now!  The pics I post this week will be from my iPhone, but I’ve already taken a lot of pics with my Nikons so I can’t wait (well, I…

  • 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…

  • Victoria Park winter scene

    Winter can be very pretty, but I’m still anticipating Maui in March – one month to go!

  • Wascana Park on a mid-October Sunday Afternoon

    I seem to either take a lot of pictures on a Sunday afternoon or post pictures on a Sunday afternoon and this is one of my favourite Sunday afternoon pics. I took this one on a warm, beautiful fall afternoon last year.

  • January Sunset

    Just some beautiful colours in the sky on Friday evening…
