  • side of the road

    Some lyrics from one of my favourite songs, “Side of the Road” by one of my favourite bands, Blue Rodeo…and because the pictures remind me of my summer job in university spent walking through farmers’ fields doing a corrosion survey of a pipeline. I remember one particular moment very clearly. I was done walking my…

  • Old Quebec

    When I was a little kid, we had to drive long distances to visit relatives.  I used to wish there was a fast forward button so we could just get there.  On this rainy, dreary April Sunday afternoon, I would use that fast forward button to go to Quebec City, specifically Old Quebec. I loved…

  • Spectacle Lake

    I’d forgotten about these pics until a few days ago when I was looking for pictures to go with my last post.  This is Spectacle Lake in Algonquin Park in Ontario.  This was just a one night stop at Spectacle Lake Lodge on a trip to Quebec City in 2010. It was a beautiful, peaceful…

  • Let’s Go For A Walk in the Woods Today

    A collection of a few of my favourite pics taken while walking in the woods…

  • Butchart Gardens

    I’m planning a trip to Vancouver Island and really looking forward to visiting Butchart Gardens in Victoria again.  Looking back at pictures from 2009 when I was there for the first time, I realized this is where my love of taking close up pictures of flowers began!

  • well, I tried…but

    The weather didn’t co-operate last night, so a glimpse (and pics) of the Lunar Eclipse didn’t really work out (I got one very dim pic). Instead here are a couple of my favourite full moon pics I’ve taken….

  • a grey April day

    On a very grey April afternoon, I thought a shot of vivid colour would be nice…

  • late Saturday afternoon walk

    It feels like Spring has finally sprung here, so it was great to be outside with a lighter jacket, go for a walk and take some pictures.  These are some of the things I saw…

  • Soon

    Spring will come soon, the snow will melt, puddles will dry up, trees will bud, tulips will emerge from the ground…. But c’mon, more snow? More cold? Soon can’t come soon enough! I need new pictures to post here instead of posting from deep within my photo library! Bleak grey skies and dirty snow don’t…

  • Geese in Flight

    Here’s one more shot of the geese in Wascana Park on Sunday afternoon…this one needed a bit of work as the Legislative Bldg was badly out of focus in the original…

  • Wascana Park Geese

    Of the 75 or so pictures I took of the geese in Wascana Park this afternoon, these are the only ones that somewhat turned out (and all of them are cropped to differing extents).  It was cold and holding the camera steady while reminding myself not to shiver, proved very challenging.  My index finger is…

  • First Day of Spring

    How about a little snow on the first day of Spring?
