  • Healthy Mindset – Day 1

    Adaptability. It’s a skill that most of us can now add to our résumés! We’ve all had to find ways to adapt to the world around us that is changing every day. There is new information to absorb and put into practice; changes and rules that affect how we live our lives; and in some…

  • Palermo Street Art

    With all that is going on in the world, I’ve been looking at my pictures from a trip to Italy last April and realized I haven’t shared any of them on my blog. Having spent a week in Florence and a week in Palermo, Sicily the lockdown there seems so surreal because the streets are…

  • Hello!

    Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.” ― Søren Kierkegaard 2019 has been quite a year for me! It’s been abundant with growth and change and learning. And even though I wasn’t posting pics, I was still out taking them…here is one of my favourites from this year. This is…

  • Who Lost their Yellow Balloon this Winter?

    Spring is when you feel like whistling even with a shoe full of slush.                                                                                  …

  • Regina Floral Conservatory

    It’s about -25 today so it’s a great day to share some pics from the Glimpse of the Tropics display at the Regina Floral Conservatory.  It’s one of the hidden gems in Regina, and on Sunday afternoon it was full of people escaping another cold January day.  I highly encourage a visit if you’re experiencing…

  • Rime Ice

    I’ve lived in Saskatchewan my whole life (which means I’ve endured a lot of cold winters) and I’ve never heard of rime ice.  The pictures below are examples of it and I’m pretty sure most of us thought it was hoar frost (which is way more fun to say than rime ice).  Anyway, rime ice results…

  • Went to Paris for the Seine

    It’s been an eventful year, and the other day, I was lamenting the fact that I haven’t taken that many photos this year compared to other years.  But, then one of my Paris pictures popped up on my screensaver, and I remembered I WAS THERE in the Spring! And, I took a lot of pictures!…

  • The Enchanted Forest

    The Enchanted Forest

    My favourite family vacation almost came to a tragic end at the Enchanted Forest, near Revelstoke, British Columbia.  My mom, dad, brother (with a box of comics between us in the backseat) and I had just finished walking through the Enchanted Forest and piled into our two door blue Dodge Aspen, pulling our Boler trailer,…

  • Plethora of Pelicans

    I had no idea there were so many pelicans in Wascana Park… The pictures above were taken a couple of weeks ago, so then I had to go into my photo library and have a look at the other pelican pictures I’ve taken, mostly near the Albert Street Bridge. The last two are my favourite,…

  • ceilings of the Louvre

    “Remember to look at the ceilings in the Louvre!” That’s the advice I took to heart in Paris.  The Louvre is intimidating – it’s the biggest and most visited museum in the world, so not only is there so much to see (over 35 000 works of art), you are often jockeying for a prime…

  • Walking Along the Seine

    One of my favourite parts of Paris was being near the Seine River. After a long, cold winter, the real purpose of the trip was not to visit the museums, eat the food, and drink the wine (okay that was part of it, too!!),  but to be outside and explore the city on foot. Every…

  • In Paris….around every corner…

    In Paris….around every corner…

    …is something delightful to discover! The Stravinsky Fountain was on my list….and we happened on it accidentally after a wine tasting lunch while walking through the historical Beaubourg District. I love this mural by Jef Aerosol called Chuuutttt! A few days into the trip, after lucking out and just coming upon the Fountain, the guidebook…
