travel musings
I always think of going on vacation and coming home kind of like a new start. It’s a chance to take a deep breath, see new sights, maybe experience new things, and maybe even come home with a new perspective on something that’s been on your mind. My suitcase is neatly packed the night before…

Lunch Spot
This was a scenic, unique place to eat lunch today! It’s at Botany Bay/Botanical Beach near Port Renfrew. There are two ways to reach it – you can take the rainforest trail until you reached the beach and then scamper up a few boulders or you could take the shoreline route which is shorter but…

I Heart Regina Cherry Blossoms
A cherry blossom pic I took this morning, now I must start packing!

vacation
I work today then I’m on vacation for a little over a week – going to one of my favourite places, Vancouver Island. This picture was taken near Tofino at Mackenzie Beach a couple of years ago. That isn’t the destination this time, although I’d love to go back there. I’m really looking forward to…

petunias and blue sky
This has been a pretty perfect weekend weather-wise – hello summer! Went grocery shopping yesterday before supper and everyone looked sun-kissed (or burnt!) and mellow and just content.

Favourite Day of the Year
Yesterday, when the guy at the greenhouse asked me if I was happy with my purchases as I was leaving, I told him choosing my flowers was one of my favourite days of the year. I planted my flowers today, and enjoyed every minute of digging my hands in the soil, so it’s one of…

Lunch Break Post
It’s finally starting to feel like Spring, and time to enjoy the outdoors on my lunch breaks at work. Every so often, I’m planning to do posts of things I see on my walks. This is what I saw today. This is part of the Immigrant Recognition Sculpture titled Regina Lace in front of City…

the lowly petunia
I used to think petunias were boring. When I first started planting flowers on my balcony, I would choose plants at the greenhouse that were more interesting and prettier – gerbera daisies, garden mums, fuchsias and a host of flowers that bloomed once and never again. I was attracted to the flash of colour and…

reflection
At this time last year, I was anticipating my trip to the Great Bear Rainforest in northern BC. I had lots of conflicting thoughts – did I make the right decision in choosing this trip to celebrate a momentous birthday? I wanted to do something outside my comfort zone, but at the same time, why…

Sunflower against a farmer’s field
Just a pretty picture of a sunflower taken in late August last year near Pangman, SK. I’ve posted this one before, but it’s one of my favourites. I enjoy photography as a hobby because it makes me look at my surroundings differently (I’ve likely written that before). I like to observe things and photography is…
