  • warm holiday wishes

    I’m officially on holidays – yay!  Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of you and thank you for visiting my blog!

  • home

    I like to travel, but home is my favourite place. I love my balcony…in any season, the view usually doesn’t disappoint. It will be a few months before I can sit outside with a cup of coffee, though, and that’s disappointing. Why do I live where I live, again? (I think most prairie folks start…

  • My Favourite Places – Mackenzie Beach

    “The three great elemental sounds in nature are the sound of rain, the sound of wind in a primeval wood, and the sound of outer ocean on a beach. I have heard them all, and of the three elemental voices, that of ocean is the most awesome, beautiful and varied.” ― Henry Beston, The Outermost…

    My Favourite Places – Banff

    Since frigid temperatures are negatively impacting my photography hobby lately, my next few posts are going to be about some of my favourite places.   A couple of days ago I was looking at pictures from a trip to Banff in October 2012 so I’ll start there.  I could easily place Banff in my top three…

  • Taking A Chance

    This is one of my favourite pictures I’ve taken this year… (but it almost didn’t happen)… My birthday this year was a significant one.  I wanted to mark the occasion by doing something I’d never done before and by going somewhere I’d never been before. But, once I booked the trip with Ocean Adventures to…

  • learning and being taught

    I am always ready to learn although I do not always like being taught. Winston Churchill I like looking up quotes, especially when I’m avoiding doing something (I have a photo project on the go that is giving me some frustration) and I laughed when I read this quote.  Anyone who has tried to teach…

  • Grey Cup 101

    I had high hopes prior to last week that I would get some spectacular photos during Grey Cup Festival events and at the game itself.  Alas, I have excuses why I didn’t accomplish that goal! It was cold outside. Really cold.  (Although, perhaps that’s not really a good excuse because I did take pictures at…

  • Shannon Falls

    These are the last waterfall pictures from my trip to the Great Bear Rainforest (and Vancouver) in June.  These falls are just outside Squamish, BC on the scenic Sea to Sky Highway to Whistler (I’ve been to Whistler once, and it’s on my list of places to visit again…I have a very long list of…

  • Brandywine Falls

    Brandywine Falls, near Whistler, British Columbia, June 2013…

  • innocence

    If you’ve read my blog for awhile you’ll know I have a soft spot for bears (while at the time being deathly afraid of them).  Of the bear pictures I’ve taken this one is my favourite just because I love the expression of innocence.  He wasn’t scared or aggressive with us as we watched from…

  • Artistic Effect

    Just was playing around with the Artistic Effect in iPhoto on my iPad with these photos from the Great Bear Rainforest.  I probably rely on the effect a little too much for photos that don’t quite turn out, but it’s the closest I’ll ever come to being an artist (you know, since I can draw…

  • Saturday Night Sunset

    I was making supper on Saturday night and happened to look out the window and this is what I saw….so of course I turned down the burner on the stove, and went out and stood on my balcony (bare feet on cold concrete is a little chilly) to get a few pictures. This repeated itself…
