  • The Road Not Taken

    I realized as I was going through my photo library today that I like to take pictures of roads. One of my favourite poems is The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost. So, today’s post is a combination of two of my favourite things (and yes, the last picture is not of a road, but…

  • Queen Elizabeth II Gardens

    The Queen Elizabeth II Gardens in front of the Legislative Building is always on my list of places to photograph. Since today is a holiday, it was the perfect time to get up early and take some photos before there were a lot of other people around with the same idea. What a beautiful morning.

  • “Open Your Eyes and Look!”

    “We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.” – Jawaharial Nehru Photography is a wonderful hobby because you start looking at everything you see in a whole new way. It…

  • Wooly Bully

    Most of my Saturday was spent south of the city taking pictures in the country, on a very hot day (about 35 degrees), starting at about noon til 8pm.  This fine specimen seemed like he wanted to model for me (I was across the road), so I obliged him and then for the rest of…

  • Sunset Silhouettes @ English Bay

    English Bay in Vancouver is one of my favourite places. These shots are from a beautiful Friday evening in June where it seemed like everyone was just happy to be outside enjoying the longest day of the year, watching the sunset at English Bay.  I focused in on these two as I found his body…

  • storm clouds at sunset

    This post could also have been called “When Clouds Attack” as the ominous colour of the clouds seemed surreal to me.  I took these pictures about a month ago after a storm that came and went very suddenly.  It was about 9 o’clock, and close to getting dark, when I went outside to investigate picture…

  • Sir Paul McCartney at Mosaic Stadium

    Last night was a pretty fantastic night in the Queen City.  Sir Paul McCartney was in town and played to a sold-out Mosaic Stadium (I think that was the final word – there was some debate beforehand why it didn’t sell-out sooner).  I’m not a Paul McCartney superfan, but I definitely knew I was going…

  • Hot Springs for the Weary Traveler

    I’m not naming many of the inlets we visited on our trip through the Great Bear Rainforest because most of the other tour operators don’t visit them, and we were asked not to name them if we were posting stories/photos on the internet once we got home. However, the hot springs at Bishop Bay (where…

  • like being in another world

    I’m back to posting pics from my trip to the Great Bear Rainforest off the coast of Northern British Columbia.  This was my favourite morning of the trip (and actually the last morning of the trip as we were heading back to Hartley Bay to catch the seaplane back to Prince Rupert and then on…

  • My Saskatchewan

    Today is Saskatchewan Day (which means it’s a long weekend here) so I thought I’d share a few pictures I’ve taken in the last few weeks, including some of my favourite places in Saskatchewan.

  • Evening in the Great Bear Rainforest

    Prior to the trip, I imagined spending evenings on the deck of the boat watching the setting sun with my camera by my side and a book in my hands.  Since the Great Bear Rainforest is fairly far north and the trip was the week before the summer solstice, it didn’t get dark until about…

  • My Favourite Bear

    My Favourite Bear

    I love bears! This trip came to be when I googled “bear watching” back in November and looking to do something memorable to celebrate the “big 4-0” this year.  This trip was so much more than just bear watching, but to be able to watch bears munching on grass while being perfectly aware of seven…
