  • Summers Are For Road Trips – Quebec City

    I love Quebec City, specifically Old Quebec.  I’ve never been to Europe, but I imagine it’s like being in a European city. Founded in 1608, it’s one of North America’s oldest cities. The Chateau Frontenac is reported to be one of the most photographed hotels in the world.  I took my fair share of pictures.…

  • Summers Are for Road Trips

    I love summer road trips.  My next one will be a camping trip to Jasper National Park in a couple of weeks.  Over the next week or so, my plan is to post pictures from a road trip to Ontario and Quebec in June, 2010. These are pictures from the Women are Persons! Monument in…

  • Lunch Break Post

    Just a quick post while on my lunch break. Daisies are my all-time favourite flowers. I’m pretty certain I’ve never quoted Drew Barrymore before, but she likes daisies too and said, “daisies are like sunshine to the ground.” Now I’m off to spend the rest of my lunch break outside. Hope it’s equally as nice…

  • close, closer, closest

    Practising with my new camera. Petunias…. …and a Garden Mum

  • Summer Bites

    For today’s post I thought I’d share some appetizers I made for a Canada Day BBQ.  I wanted to make light, fresh tasting bites so I did a google search for summer appetizers and adapted these from various recipes I found. (You’ll notice I’m not very precise with my measurements!)  This is also my first…

  • Happy Canada Day!

    Note the Made in USA… We’re friends, it’s okay!

  • Maui – Land of Living Skies Part 2

    This week’s theme seems to be pictures of the sky (other than a brief interlude with a post about dogs and Mr. Dressup), so I thought I’d end the week with photos from Maui in March 2011. “Land of Living Skies” is the slogan on license plates here and people say there is nothing like…

  • the Scotties

    Just for a change of pace from my usual posts, here are my brother and sister-in-law’s dogs, Casey and Finnegan. Names inspired, of course, from the TV show, Mr. Dressup (it ran on the CBC from 1967-1996).  I loved summer mornings as a kid, I’d go out outside and play, then run inside for Mr.…

  • Mammatus Clouds

    A continuation of my last post – I’m still fascinated by these clouds that appeared after the brief storm last night. I’ve never seen anything like it!  It was such an eerie, awe-inspiring feeling to look up at the sky.

  • like a little kid

    I feel like a little kid tonight.  My new camera arrived – a Nikon Coolpix p510 – I was so excited to open the box!  I really enjoy taking pictures, but I’m not ready (nor can I really afford) to spend big money on a camera.  This one was highly recommended, and is in my…

  • Land of Living Skies

    It was really hot here today and the weather is supposed to be unsettled for the next day or so.  There is even the possibility of tornadoes around the province.  The timing is uncanny. June 30 is the 100th anniversary of the Regina Cyclone that devastated the city. This is some information about it, I…

  • gorgeous weekend

    Finally, a beautiful weekend!  The weather was just right – 25 and sunny. The dahlias are still my favourite this year. The tiger lilies are blooming. I’m not really a beer drinker, but this is a light, crisp beer that is refreshing in the middle of a bright summer day. My favourite Malbec.  About $13…
