  • prairie crocus

    Healthy Mindset – Days 41-43 The top three subjects on my Saskatchewan-related photography list are crocuses, owls, and foxes. Finally, yesterday, I photographed some crocuses! They are a sure sign of spring, only bloom for a very short period of time, and difficult to find, usually only where natural prairie grassland still exists. As with…

  • three little birds

    Healthy Mindset – Days 39 & 40 You know what song I immediately thought of when I saw these three birds last week at Wascana Marsh (I think it’s one of the hidden gems in Regina). I wish I’d brought my other camera to get a better picture, but sometimes you just have to go…

  • Poser

    Healthy Mindset – Days 35-38 I love photographing animals because you just have to stand back and capture what they give you. Most of the time it’s pure gold. How often do you see a llama by the side of the road? This one has loads of personality! Sometimes you just gotta let your inner…

  • my favourite tree

    Healthy Mindset – Days 28-31 “You’ll miss the best things if you keep your eyes shut.” Dr. Seuss Or, as my Mom would say when I was a kid and couldn’t find something I was looking for, “open your eyes and look!” I’m fascinated by this tree! I’ve photographed it before when it was full…

  • Scenes From A Walk

    Scenes From A Walk

    Healthy Mindset – Day 26 & 27 I feel very fortunate to live where I do. Even in the middle of the city, it’s not hard to find open space to go for a walk while maintaining physical distancing. Yesterday’s walk was the best part of my day, as it so often has been during…

  • …closer to home…

    Healthy Mindset – Day 24 With few exceptions in the last month, I’ve gone on a daily walk before making supper. It’s been a nice way to mark the transition from day to evening so it has become something I really look forward to. If you’re trying to find some separation in your days, give…

  • Face Towards the Sun

    Face Towards the Sun

    Healthy Mindset – Day 19 It was nice to see the sun today after a couple of miserable days here. It’s still a bit chilly, but somehow everything seems better when the sun is shining… “Keep your face always toward the sunshine – and the shadows will fall behind you.” Walt Whitman All the pictures…

  • Sidewalk Messages

    Sidewalk Messages

    Healthy Mindset – Day 13 On an otherwise very blah day, this made my day….I don’t know Auntie Chan or Leo, but I love that she can look out her living room window and see this message! We are not in a full “lockdown” here, so going for a walk is still allowed. It’s essential…

    getting my hands dirty

    Healthy Mindset – Day 12 It was 12 degrees (celsius) on the weekend, and in the sun, it felt more like 25 degrees. That got me dreaming of gardening. Once the warm weather hits, I predict gardening is going to replace bread baking as the new “it” activity. I usually plant flowers, tomatoes and herbs…

  • Healthy mindset – Day 3

    Healthy mindset – Day 3

    I’ve seen a few different ways that individuals and families are trying to keep a sense of community while homebound like turning their Christmas lights back, sidewalk art with chalk or displaying hearts in windows. I like the the last one. When I went for a walk on Sunday, I saw one house with a…

  • 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…
