Maybe everytime it snows I’ll post pictures of flowers instead…
We had our first snowfall yesterday and I’m so not inspired to take pictures of snow yet. Instead, I was inspired to go through my photo library and look for pictures of flowers I haven’t posted yet… anyone who lived through the Year of Winter 2012-2013 will understand why!

Thanksgiving Day Morning Walk
I went for a walk this morning with the intention of finally getting some fall pictures and was happy to discover a beautiful maple tree I’ve never noticed before behind Darke Hall at the University of Regina’s College Avenue Campus…

a walk around Wascana Lake
For a flat prairie city, plunked in the middle of nowhere, Regina is actually a very pretty city. When I moved here many years ago I certainly didn’t think it was, and didn’t plan to stay very long, but this is my home now. Wascana Park is one of my favourite places in Regina. I…

City Square Plaza
Regina’s City Square Plaza is a controversial space for a lot of different reasons – for me the three biggest are that it was massively over budget, cars and pedestrians share the space which in my opinion is a recipe for disaster, and the architectural features are ugly. Don’t get me wrong, I actually think…

red
Red isn’t my favourite colour (cobalt blue is), but as I was going through my photo library deciding what I wanted to share today, these are the pictures that grabbed my attention.

inspiration
I’ve been very fortunate in the last few years to see some pretty amazing scenery in my travels. I’ve posted a picture previously of the last morning on my trip through the Great Bear Rainforest as we headed back to Hartley Bay to meet the plane. But while the scenery itself was spectacular throughout the…

denial
Since spring/summer weather was so late to arrive this year, I’m in denial that today is the first day of fall… so here are some pictures from the Summer Solstice at English Bay in Vancouver. It was a beautiful evening and it felt like everyone in the city was out enjoying the warm summer night.…

gold
This is the time of year when everything starts to turn to gold. Spring and summer are my favourite seasons, but I have to admit this is a pretty time of the year (although not here today as it’s windy, grey, and wet). November and March are my least favourite months of the year –…

Sunday Morning Miscellany
A lazy Sunday morning seems like a good time to post a few miscellaneous pictures. I’ll likely do another “Photography Lessons – Things I’ve Learned” post soon as I feel like I’ve learned a lot this summer, but this morning I just feel like posting a variety of pics I’ve taken in the last few…

Photography Lessons – Patience and Persistence
I’ve learned a lot of photography lessons this summer. The first two are patience and persistence. These occurred many times on my trip to the Great Bear Rainforest in mid-June with Ocean Adventures. The most memorable one was when we were on the zodiac for six hours one afternoon. We had a very hearty lunch…

sunflowers on a Saturday afternoon
Is there a more cheerier flower than a sunflower? I don’t think so. I took these pictures a few weeks ago on a very hot Saturday afternoon from a gravel road between two fields near Pangman, Saskatchewan (south of Regina). The wind was blowing, so I had to sometimes hold the stems with one hand,…
