  • Where Are You From?

    Where Are You From?

    “Where are you from?” If we’re travelling outside the country, of course the answer is Canada. (It’s fascinating to me that Americans always say the city they’re from if we’re doing some kind of group activity. So sure of their place in the world, never doubting we’ll have heard of it).   But, otherwise, I’ve…

  • Clouds

    Healthy Mindset – Weeks 16 & 17 It’s been an amazing couple of weeks for cloud photography in and around Regina. These pics are from about two weeks ago – standing in the middle of a gravel road marvelling at all the different cloud structures in every direction was nothing short of awe-inspiring. I’ve been…

  • For the Birds (and a bunny)

    Healthy Mindset – Week 15 Being in the right place, at the right time, and then paying attention to what’s around you….photography is a really great hobby because it’s the paying attention and then focusing on whatever has caught your eye that makes it relaxing (at least for me anyway). It’s a great reason to…

  • raindrops

    Finally….rain!!!! I snapped these pics about an hour ago after it had stopped raining. It was a pitiful rain, and I thought, “that’s it”?. We need a good long rain here, and now I’m typing this as a thunderstorm is brewing, and a steady rain is falling. Perfect. “Around us, life bursts with miracles–a glass…

    Late Spring in Saskatchewan

    Healthy Mindset – Days 74-79 I haven’t been posting as much lately as I’m in the final stretch of finishing my business website (it’s been quite a process to get to this point!), but I have been out taking a lot of pictures. Here’s this week’s collection:

  • The Wisdom of Trees

    Healthy Mindset – -Days 68-73 With so much to take in right now, I wanted to share a little bit of inspiration. One day when you wake, you will find that you have become a forest. You have grown roots and found strength in them that no one thought you had. You have become stronger…

  • Downtown After the Storm

    Downtown After the Storm

    Healthy Mindset – Day 66-67 Yay! Finally, something that isn’t cancelled! A summer storm! The storm hit downtown at about 7pm tonight, and the clouds afterwards were amazing!

  • Cherry Blossoms on a Sunday Afternoon

    Cherry Blossoms on a Sunday Afternoon

    Healthy Mindset – Days 62-65 Things are really starting to bloom and grow here now, and a yearly rite of passage is photographing the cherry blossom collection in front of the Mackenzie Art Gallery. I’ve said it before, but my favourite part of Spring this year has been to actually take the time pay attention…

  • Summer in the City

    Healthy Mindset – Days 59-61 Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before. Dalai Lama Over the next few months, the challenge is to find that someplace close to home! I’ve lived in Regina for a long time now, and never walked around Wascana Marsh until about a month ago. It’s a beautiful spot…

  • favourite weekend of the year

    Healthy Mindset – Days 53-58 Everything that slows us down and forces patience, everything that sets us back into the slow circles of nature, is a help. Gardening is an instrument of grace. May Sarton The May long weekend is usually one of my favourites of the year because it’s the unofficial beginning of summer.…

  • Spring in Colour

    Spring in Colour

    Healthy Mindset – Days 47 – 49 This is my favourite time of the year, and I’m happy that despite the uncertainty that still surrounds us, the one thing we can count on is that Spring will come. (Although as I type this, it sure doesn’t feel like a warm Spring day). The deep roots…

    enough room for everyone

    Healthy Mindset – Days 44-46 The thing that has given me the greatest peace of mind through all of this has been going outside. From the beginning, I didn’t interpret “stay home” as having to stay inside. I took it to mean don’t go out unnecessarily (limit shopping to once a week and if the…
