  • three little birds

    Healthy Mindset – Days 39 & 40 You know what song I immediately thought of when I saw these three birds last week at Wascana Marsh (I think it’s one of the hidden gems in Regina). I wish I’d brought my other camera to get a better picture, but sometimes you just have to go…

  • Poser

    Healthy Mindset – Days 35-38 I love photographing animals because you just have to stand back and capture what they give you. Most of the time it’s pure gold. How often do you see a llama by the side of the road? This one has loads of personality! Sometimes you just gotta let your inner…

  • A Sunny Spring Afternoon in Paris

    A Sunny Spring Afternoon in Paris

    Healthy Mindset – Day 33 & 34 One of the great things about posting regularly on my blog again is that it’s making me go back in my photo library and think about the places I’ve been (I think I might have said that last week, too. It’s hard to keep track of the days!).…

    Wildflowers in the Great Bear Rainforest

    Healthy Mindset – Day 32 One of my favourite days of the year is when I get dirt under my fingernails and plant my flowers. That’s still a few weeks off, but it was the first warm day here yesterday so I filled my pots with new soil, and figured what will go in each…

  • my favourite tree

    Healthy Mindset – Days 28-31 “You’ll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut.” Dr. Seuss Or, as my Mom would say when I was a kid and couldn’t find something I was looking for, “open your eyes and look!” I’m fascinated by this tree! I’ve photographed it before when it was full…

  • Scenes From A Walk

    Scenes From A Walk

    Healthy Mindset – Day 26 & 27 I feel very fortunate to live where I do. Even in the middle of the city, it’s not hard to find open space to go for a walk while maintaining physical distancing. Yesterday’s walk was the best part of my day, as it so often has been during…

  • Notre Dame – May 2018

    Notre Dame – May 2018

    Healthy Mindset – Day 25 Posting regularly on my blog again has meant reacquainting myself with photographs I haven’t look at in awhile, including the pictures I took of Notre Dame two years ago. As I mentioned the other day, climbing the narrow, winding stairs of the North Tower, was just a fun challengeq was…

  • …closer to home…

    Healthy Mindset – Day 24 With few exceptions in the last month, I’ve gone on a daily walk before making supper. It’s been a nice way to mark the transition from day to evening so it has become something I really look forward to. If you’re trying to find some separation in your days, give…

    …some of the places I’ve been…

    Healthy Mindset – Days 20-23 It will be quite awhile before we are able to travel widely again, and while I have lots of thoughts about what it could be like, for now, I thought it could be a nice challenge to pick one picture from each of the places I’ve been lucky enough to…

  • Face Towards the Sun

    Face Towards the Sun

    Healthy Mindset – Day 19 It was nice to see the sun today after a couple of miserable days here. It’s still a bit chilly, but somehow everything seems better when the sun is shining… “Keep your face always toward the sunshine – and the shadows will fall behind you.” Walt Whitman All the pictures…

  • A Year Ago Today

    A Year Ago Today

    Healthy Mindset – Day 18 Last year, at this time, I was on a two week trip to Italy with a week in Florence and a week in Palermo, Sicily. It seems like such a long time ago now, but a year ago today, we took a day trip to Segesta where the Temple is…

  • A Memorable Day in the Great Bear Rainforest

    A Memorable Day in the Great Bear Rainforest

    Healthy Mindset – Day 17 This photo is from one of my most memorable days ever. It was on a bear watching trip to the Great Bear Rainforest off the coast of northern British Columbia in June 2013. There were seven of us crammed in a zodiac drifting silently along hoping to spot this bear…
