Canada 150 – wide open spaces
I grew up in a house with a field just beyond our backyard, in a town that was seemingly plunked down in the middle of nowhere. It was surrounded by fields, and in one direction, beyond the fields were the Great Sandhills. I can tolerate crowds, I’ve lived in a city since I finished high…

Canada 150 – My Beautiful Country
Summer in Canada to me means going somewhere and seeing some of my beautiful country. Canada is such a wonderfully diverse country and I appreciate it all…prairies, mountains, ocean, and our cities, too. I’ve only been as far east as Quebec City, and would love to see the east coast of Canada someday. Summer Solstice,…

Canada 150 – Cypress Hills, Saskatchewan
When I was a kid, there were three places we’d drive to that I would look forward to with much anticipation. One was driving through Saskatoon on our way to my grandparents’ house. We’d drive by the beautiful University of Saskatchewan campus, and I’d imagine going to university there. I loved every second of my…

a bridge to watch the sunset
The pedestrian bridge over the North Saskatchewan River between Battleford and North Battleford has become one of my favourite places to photograph. If you’re ever in the area make sure to take in the sunset from the bridge. I’ve been visiting this area of Saskatchewan since birth, really, but it’s only in the last few…

…more than just books on the shelves…
One Sunday morning when I walked in to work and had the library to myself, I noticed there was nice light in the stacks and got out my phone and took a couple of pictures. One of the perks of being in the library before it opens, is walking through the stacks undisturbed! Fast forward…

leap of faith
Going for it! This squirrel is on a mission…. I may have to take back my last post about not liking November, or qualify it with “I usually don’t like November” because the last few days have been unusually warm here. This squirrel entertained me this afternoon while I was sitting outside drinking coffee…here’s the…

November!
“No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease, No comfortable feel in any member – No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees, No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds – November!” – Thomas Hood, No! I’m sure there is something good to be said about November, but in the meantime, here are some colourful…

too early for snow
Up until yesterday, when the snow started, my flowers were still blooming. It would’ve been nice to get another week or two out of them. It does look kind of pretty outside, but it would be prettier if it was December! At least the snow should be gone by the end of the weekend with…
