  • Grow

    I took this pic on May 5 last year… And this one is from April 7 the year before (if I remember correctly after all the snow melted we had a big snowstorm the day or so before I took this picture). My prediction is this year’s pic will be somewhere in between those dates…can’t…

  • It’s Always Getting Better

    It was nice enough tonight to stand outside on my balcony without a jacket to take a few pics of the clouds I noticed while I was making supper.   Considering that the last time I saw something out my window I wanted to take pics of, I had to stand inside with the door…

  • March is a weird month

    March is that weird month when the sidewalks are treacherously icy on the morning walk to work and on the walk home you have to avoid all the puddles and slush. You don’t dare stand or walk on the edge of the sidewalk unless you take pleasure in getting soaked by passing cars.  It’s not…

  • Albert Street Bridge pillars

    The pillars on the Albert Street Bridge are likely my most photographed subject in Regina.  This one I took at about about 6pm tonight just might be my favourite.

  • The Big Melt

    Hopefully, the long cold part of winter is over. Temps for the next week are forecast to be above freezing – bye bye snow! (Realistically, if this March is like last March more snow is on the horizon, but the relief from the cold and spending more time outside without the threat of frozen eyelashes,…

  • anxiously awaiting the colours of spring and summer

    The sky is a brilliant blue today, and it’s a balmy -28 degrees (-38 with the windchill) and these Blue Rodeo lyrics (song is “Get Through To You”) are going through my head: Looks like winter’s never gonna leave this grey town I think it’s going to snow all summer Okay, I know winter will…

  • Things I do to distract myself while doing the dishes

    I don’t like doing dishes.  Tonight, while I was standing in the kitchen doing dishes, I happened to turn around and saw a pretty nice sunset developing outside my living room window.  So, I dried my hands, grabbed my cameras (I’m trying out a new one), opened my balcony door (it was about -16 at…

  • summer over winter

    As I’ve written before, I think Regina is quite a pretty city.  However, I much prefer it in this season… Than in this season… It is currently minus 32 degrees here.  Shudder.  The debate at work is would you rather have the massive amount of snow of the never-ending winter of 2013 or the mind-numbingly…

  • Oh Canada

    I’m a big fan of the Olympics and a bit sad that they are pretty much over. I could wait to post this after the Canada-Sweden men’s hockey gold medal game, but regardless if Canada wins or not, I’ve enjoyed watching all the Canadian athletes. My favourite moments were Regina’s own snowboarder, Mark McMorris, winning…

  • Peruvian Lily

    Just some pretty flowers in nice light…

  • A Colourful Day in Regina

    Temperatures were above freezing here today for the first time in 2014 (at least I think it was the first time this year, it’s been a long winter!) and it was the Family Day holiday, so I spent the afternoon with my camera in my hands (which was also the first time I’ve taken any…

  • Yes, You Got Me

    On last year’s trip to the Great Bear Rainforest we saw seals frequently. However, every time I got my camera ready to get a picture they escaped back under the water. Then it became a game to snap a picture and I was determined I’d get a decent one before the end of the trip.…
