  • happy place

    I didn’t plan to post anything today.  My plan was to be at the Roughriders pre-season game enjoying this beautiful evening, but I woke up at 6am with a terrible headache that has managed to last all day.  I toughed it out at work just in case I felt well enough to go the game…

  • Valley of Fire

    These pictures were taken at Valley of Fire State Park near Las Vegas.  I would love to go back someday and take more pictures because the rock formations are so interesting – I love the faces in the formations.  The first picture is my favourite.

  • no, it’s not snow

    Sure looks like snow on the first day of summer, but we had quite a bit of hail and rain here early in the evening.  I snapped a few quick pics with my iphone out the back door of the library – there was thunder and lightning, too, so I didn’t spend too much time…

  • Cobalt – Part 2

    Just a quick post tonight. Took this from my balcony at the end of April. I love the view of the night sky from my balcony.

  • three photos and a poem

    I’m not a morning person. I don’t jump out of bed, raring to go.  I gain momentum as the day goes on and tend to get more done at night.  However, I was in Maui last winter and found it really easy to get up early in the morning and go to bed earlier than…

  • playing

    This is my week of work where I only have one day off.  I’m anticipating an interesting week, so I wanted to get all the usual errands done, but also have some down time.  I ended up taking a bunch of pictures around my place this afternoon with my iPhone and then went for a…

  • Green

    Today’s theme is the colour green. I promised myself I wasn’t going to get carried away with the artistic effect, but the first picture was originally somewhat out of focus, and I like how it looks with the effect. Somewhere in Pacific Rim National Park trying to find a hiking trail, Vancouver Island. Underneath the…

  • fun with editing

    So, I discovered editing with the iPhoto app and am now obsessed with the artistic effect.  Here are a few pics I edited using it : New York, New York Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas, April 2010 Wascana Park, Regina, Sk, Tuesday night Algonquin Park, Ontario, June 2010 Grand Tetons, near Jackson Hole, Wyoming, July…

  • Rainbow

    One of the prettiest rainbows I’ve seen in a long time…

  • a trio of sunsets

    A trio of sunsets from a trip to Puerto Vallarta in March… The view from the Vista Grill in the Alta Vista neighbourhood of Puerto Vallarta with a spectacular view of Banderas Bay. Sunset sail around Banderas Bay (this was the highlight of the trip for me). View from a restaurant on the Malecon

  • chocolate, banana, blueberry

    I worked this weekend, so I’m off for the next two days. The forecast for today was rainy and cool so I decided I was going to bake bread.  I love to cook, but I’m not a great baker, and I’ve never made a loaf of bread before from scratch. I used a basic whole…

  • Beach Finds

    A continuation of photos from my Vancouver Island road trip last June.  These pictures were taken at Mackenzie Beach.
