sick day
I have a cold. It’s your regular, run of the mill cold – itchy watery eyes, runny nose, aches, pains and fever and no energy. I’m feeling pretty miserable right now. To make matters worse I can’t sleep because new windows are getting installed on the floor below me so there has been some sawing…

a beautiful Sunday afternoon
What a perfect afternoon for a football game. The temperature was about 22 degrees, it was sunny, and there was no wind (and when it’s windy at Taylor Field it’s no fun for the players, and fans). The Roughriders have had an up and down season, and really needed a win this afternoon, plus it’s…

morning walk
It’s another beautiful Saturday in Regina – the sun is shining and the air is crisp – quite appropriate for the first day of Fall. The temperature fell below zero overnight so I wanted to get a few flower pictures this morning before it’s too late, and I also took a few more pictures around…

Mount Robson
New windows were installed in my place today so last night was spent taking down curtains and blinds and moving things out of the way. I really should be putting everything back in place tonight but I’m feeling a bit lazy, so I re-hung my bedroom curtains, put a few things away, and the rest…

Neighbourhood Walk Part 2
All of these sights are in my neighbourhood. I’ve lived in Regina for a long time now, and I’ve never really thought of it as a pretty city. (I think I may have said this in a post a few months ago, too!) I appreciate many of the things the city has to offer,…

neighbourhood walk
It’s a beautiful day here so I decided to take my camera with me when I walked to the Canada Post outlet at Shoppers Drug Mart to pick up a parcel this morning. I’m a fast walker, but today I decided to amble along and really look around as I walked. I enjoyed my morning…

books in my office
These are some of the books I’ve collected in my office. Since I work in a library, it’s very easy to grab a book any time… and I do that often!

Some pics that are not of flowers, nature or landscapes…my usual subjects!

Elk Island
Earlier this summer I posted sunset pictures from Elk Island National Park in Alberta, near Edmonton. We stopped there for the night on our way to Jasper. The pictures I took there are some of my favourite I’ve ever taken – just being in the right place at the right time. Here’s one more from…

Athabasca Falls
I haven’t posted any pics from my camping trip with my parents to Jasper in July lately so here are a few from Athabasca Falls. The falls were quite close to the campground we were staying at so it was our first touristy stop. It was a rainy day and raining the evening before when…

flowers
It’s been a really nice summer here this year – lots of sunshine and heat (although I’m not sure I like the really hot days as much as I used to). The forecast is for a warm September so I hopefully I can make my flowers last a little longer, although the heat and wind…

Tomatoes!
A friend who is an amazing gardener gave me these tomatoes. He and has wife have a massive garden on their balcony, plus two community garden plots. He told me the names of the tomatoes but I don’t remember… I just know they tasted amazing! I made a simple salad – sliced tomatoes, fresh basil,…
