  • blue skies

    As I write this, we are in the middle of another snowstorm.  I’ve lost count at how many snowstorms we’ve had this winter.  It’s getting to be a bit much… I took these cloud/blue sky pictures on Saturday which was a much nicer day! This is what it looked like downtown this afternoon…ugh… I will…

  • garden mums in January

    I usually don’t post twice in one day, but I liked these garden mum pics.  The mums bloomed into October and then it snowed and I never got around to cleaning out the pots.  Surprisingly, they don’t look too bad, so I’ll leave them for the rest of the winter.  I took the frosty pic…

  • rooftops

    I went out on my balcony this morning (it was only about -6 outside, so not too bad!) and got this shot.  I’m quite happy with the way it turned out and how the brick on the First Baptist Church (foreground) and Knox-Metropolitan United Church looks on a grey Sunday morning. That’s Regina’s City Hall…

  • the Scotties at Christmas

    In June, I posted a couple of pics of my brother and sister-in-law’s Scotties, Casey and Finnigan.  I think they are particularly photogenic.  Finnigan is like the elder statesman, watching over all the proceedings, and Casey is like the kid brother who always wants to tag along and just wants everyone to like him.  He…

  • winter is not my favourite season, but it still can be pretty

    winter is not my favourite season, but it still can be pretty

    “What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.” ― John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley: In Search of America It could be a long winter here. We’ve had snow since the end of October. A lot of snow. We’ve had freezing rain, too, making walking and driving treacherous…

  • Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays

    I intended to post more holiday themed pictures this past week, but a bad cold and Christmas preparations meant I didn’t take many pictures. I’ll be back to more regular posts in the New Year, but I just wanted to say thank you for visiting my site!

  • a few of my favourite things

    It’s been cold here lately so my plan to go out and about in the evening to take pictures of Christmas light displays has been sidelined.  It’s supposed to be nice on the weekend so hopefully I can take some pictures of the lights at the Legislative Building, in particular.  In the meantime, I’ve been…

  • beam me up

    I was walking through Victoria Park on my supper break the other day and happened upon this scene.  These were taken with my iPhone and I planned to to take my Nikon to work the next day since my supper break was at the same time and try to capture some better images.  It was…

  • chocolate peanut butter fudge

    My chocolate peanut butter fudge picture is not Martha Stewart worthy, but it tastes pretty good. I’m a Type 1 diabetic, and when I started looking for fudge recipes I was horrified by the amount of sugar that was in some of them.  I’ve made “diabetic” fudge in the past with Splenda, and it was…

  • through the clouds

    I’ve been on some pretty cool drives in North America – Maui’s Road to Hana, the Beartooth Highway outside Yellowstone, and Port Alberni to Tofino on Vancouver Island. They all are amazing in their own way and the drive between Banff and Lake Louise is no exception.  Banff will always be one of my favourite…

  • Los Muertos Beach

    It’s snowing here….again. We’ve had more snow this month than we had all last winter.  I don’t mind the snow, I think it’s quite pretty, in fact. A few months from now, though, I’ll be ready for a winter escape.  This is a pic from a trip to Puerto Vallarta in March.  I liked Puerto…

  • grey morning

    It’s a grey morning here today… it matches the sky in these pictures from my trip to Banff at the end of October. These were taken on the drive from Kananaskis to Banff which is really scenic (even on a dull, grey, snowy morning).
