Battleford, SK
A few photos I took on my Christmas vacation…. Now on to one of my favourite months – January! Really, I do like January. Calling it one of my favourite months might be pushing it a bit, but I don’t hate it! (This is a relatively new thing, I used to hate it). Yes, it’s…

home
I like to travel, but home is my favourite place. I love my balcony…in any season, the view usually doesn’t disappoint. It will be a few months before I can sit outside with a cup of coffee, though, and that’s disappointing. Why do I live where I live, again? (I think most prairie folks start…

Grey Cup 101
I had high hopes prior to last week that I would get some spectacular photos during Grey Cup Festival events and at the game itself. Alas, I have excuses why I didn’t accomplish that goal! It was cold outside. Really cold. (Although, perhaps that’s not really a good excuse because I did take pictures at…

a walk in the park

a walk around Wascana Lake
For a flat prairie city, plunked in the middle of nowhere, Regina is actually a very pretty city. When I moved here many years ago I certainly didn’t think it was, and didn’t plan to stay very long, but this is my home now. Wascana Park is one of my favourite places in Regina. I…

City Square Plaza
Regina’s City Square Plaza is a controversial space for a lot of different reasons – for me the three biggest are that it was massively over budget, cars and pedestrians share the space which in my opinion is a recipe for disaster, and the architectural features are ugly. Don’t get me wrong, I actually think…

Queen Elizabeth II Gardens
The Queen Elizabeth II Gardens in front of the Legislative Building is always on my list of places to photograph. Since today is a holiday, it was the perfect time to get up early and take some photos before there were a lot of other people around with the same idea. What a beautiful morning.

Wooly Bully
Most of my Saturday was spent south of the city taking pictures in the country, on a very hot day (about 35 degrees), starting at about noon til 8pm. This fine specimen seemed like he wanted to model for me (I was across the road), so I obliged him and then for the rest of…

My Saskatchewan
Today is Saskatchewan Day (which means it’s a long weekend here) so I thought I’d share a few pictures I’ve taken in the last few weeks, including some of my favourite places in Saskatchewan.

confused geese
The geese have returned to Wascana Park in droves as they do at this time of year, every year. Every June there are so many geese in the park, that a good number of them are rounded up and transported elsewhere. But they must be wondering what the heck right now. Snow! Cold! Only small…

Albert Street Bridge
Spring has arrived! The snow is melting and the days are getting longer so I think it’s safe to say that this longer winter is finally coming to an end. I took a lot of pictures this weekend and it felt great to not have freezing fingers as I held my camera! These are…

hoar frost and an elephant
I love hoar frost. I think there is nothing prettier on a frigidly cold January day than a bright blue sky and hoar frost on the trees. We are well into March and still experiencing frigidly cold mornings and hoar frost on the trees. As I write this, the wind is gusting, the sky is…
