  • a Saskatchewan sunset

    Whether it’s an ocean, mountain or prairie view (or from my balcony), I love taking sunset pictures.  Here’s one from the other night in the Battlefords River Valley and a view of the Battlefords Goose Project…

  • Mount Norquay and the Bow River

    I’m excited to upload my pictures tomorrow and see how they turned out…but here’s one more iPhone pic from a few days ago.

  • Hoodoos

    Back in Saskatchewan now, but earlier in the day we passed through Drumheller, the heart of the Canadian Badlands, and stopped at the Hoodoos for one last touristy photo op of the trip. The photos I’ve posted this week were all taken with my iPhone and I’ll be anxious to upload my Nikon d7000 pics…

  • Banff Springs Hotel

    I took many pictures of the Banff Springs Hotel, here’s one version taken from the Surprise Corner Viewpoint.

  • Lake Louise

    It seemed like every tourist in the Banff area decided to visit Lake Louise today. It was busy!!! But, also beautiful. Someday, I went to spend the night at the Chateau Lake Louise.

  • Mt. Rundle and the Hoodoos

  • Butchart Gardens Close-ups

    A few of my favourite shots from Butchart Gardens in Victoria….

  • walking to the beach

    There are a lot of beaches to check out between Sooke and Port Renfrew.  To get to most of them you have to walk through beautiful forests (downhill all the way, some of the uphill walks on the way back were a killer on the thighs!).

  • Shirley Delicious

    To get to Orveas Bay Resort you take a left turn at Shirley Delicious if you are coming from Sooke.  Shirley is the name of the district between Sooke and Jordan River, hence the name Shirley Delicious.  This little cafe is a gem. We passed by it several times before we stopped in and I’m…

  • You know you are having a relaxing vacation when….

    I’ve seen hummingbirds before, of course.  But, added up, over the course of six days at Orveas Bay, hours were spent just watching three hummingbirds come and go at the feeder. I didn’t realize how entertaining they can be – they chased each other away from the feeder and around the yard and then would…
