  • “Yeah we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun.”

    “Yeah we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun.” John Lennon I love watching the phases of the moon and I think it’s so awesome that I’m able to get so close with my new camera (Nikon p510)  Earlier in the week, I was able to get some good shots…

  • lighting

    A couple pics from this weekend – I’ve been trying to take pictures of the cobweb and the geraniums for awhile and finally got the shots I wanted.

    A couple shots of the moon from balcony this week.  I love my new camera!  

  • Flash Gordon

    The summer I was 11 or 12 I watched Flash Gordon on HBO probably 10 times.  It’s still in my top ten of favourite movies.  The soundtrack by Queen is awesome, the writing and acting is so bad it’s good, and I had such a crush on Sam Jones. What was your favourite movie when…

  • dahlias three ways

    Did you know that dahlias are the national flower of Mexico? I don’t remember seeing any dahlias in Puerto Vallarta in March, but then again I don’t think I took any flower pictures there.  It was more about eating good food, sticking my toes in the sand and taking sunset pictures. Summer is still in…

  • a beautiful summer weekend

    The weather was perfect this weekend.  It was cooler at the beginning of the week and I wore long pants to work and even uttered the word fall a few times, but thank goodness summer has returned.  These are a few pics from this weekend – a good portion of which was spent outside –…

  • Goats in Wascana Centre

    As a pilot project, goats were brought into Wascana Centre to deal with the overgrowth of vegetation in the park. What a great idea! Today was an opportunity to check out the goats and see what the project is all about. The farmer who owns the goats said the goats are raised for the meat.…

  • Queen Elizabeth II Gardens

    The Queen Elizabeth II Gardens in front of the Legislative Building in Regina re-opened on the weekend after a $1 million renovation.  I love the Leg. – I think it’s a beautiful building (although I certainly don’t love the governing party that is inhabiting it right now!).

  • walking in the woods

    walking in the woods

    “I have always found thick woods a little intimidating, for they are so secret and enclosed.  You may seem alone but you are not, for there are always eyes watching you.  All the wildlife of the woods, the insects, birds, and animals, are well aware of your presence no matter how softly you may tread,…

  • World’s Largest Easter Egg

    What’s a road trip without a stop at a roadside attraction?  The World’s Largest Ukrainian Easter Egg is located in Vegreville, Alberta – we passed it along the way to Elk Island National Park and we thought it deserved a look.  I particularly liked the stained glass artwork.  

  • Robin’s Egg Blue – Part 2

    I posted a picture of two perfect robin’s eggs a few weeks ago taken in my parents’ backyard.  They were so perfect that I may have accused my mom of planting two plastic eggs there as a bit of a joke.  We went camping for a week and when we came back, there were three…

  • love is…

    This has been my camping coffee mug for years. It’s one of my favourite camping rituals, along with nightly hot dog and marshmallow roasts around the fire before bedtime.
