  • Sunday in the park

    Beautiful day for a picnic in Wascana Park…   

  • storm clouds on the prairies

    Wednesday afternoon near Shaunavon, SK after crossing the border back into Canada after a quick road trip to Glacier National Park in Montana… There are many things to like about Montana, and I will include my thoughts and photos in a post in the near future, but this is actually my favourite picture from the…

  • a country drive

    Pictures from last Saturday morning’s drive in the country… the goal was to take pictures of the St. Nicholas Anglican Church near Craven in the Qu’Appelle Valley and see what else we could find along the way (like the donkeys in my last post!).  Off to Montana tomorrow where it’s going to be hot, hot,…

  • Donkey close-ups on a Saturday morning

    I’ve likely said it previously, but animals have become my favourite subject matter to photograph. Saturday’s plan was take pictures of a little church on the prairies near Regina that I spotted last year, but the road to get to it had been washed out. After successfully finding the church, and enjoying the peacefulness of…

  • Monday Quotes

    Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them – that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.  – Lao Tzu The prairie skies can always make you see more than what you believe. ― Jackson Burnett, The Past Never Ends

  • football players have the nicest arms

    This is a bit of a silly post, but it’s summer, it’s hot outside, and I’ve been busy at work, so a little fun is in order.  The Roughriders may be 0 and 3 to start the season and the crowd at tomorrow night’s game (night games are my favourite) could get even more rowdy…

  • Great Bear Rainforest inlet reflection

    In my last post, I said that a lot of the pictures I took in the Great Bear Rainforest two years ago were of reflections in the water….this is one of my favourites.  It’s such a beautiful place, far off the beaten path (which, truth be told, was a bit of an odd feeling). Some…

  • beauty of open space

    The question is not what you look at, but what you see. – Thoreau I don’t understand people who don’t see the beauty of the prairies! So, if you’re not from here, and you happen to be driving through Saskatchewan on your summer vacation, veer off the TransCanada Highway for a bit on a grid…

  • bleeding heart

    Today’s find – these pretty bleeding heart.  I’m always happy to come across something I’ve never photographed before (I found these in a nice spring flower garden on the east side of the Legislative Building this afternoon).

  • conserve water

    This may not be a common sight in Regina for the next little while since we’re being asked to conserve water because of a water quality issue. The first call to conserve water went out on Monday (I took this pic on Sunday!) and apparently there’s been no significant reduction in the amount of water…

  • cherry blossoms on a beautiful May weekend

    That is one good thing about this world…there are always sure to be more springs -L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Avonlea I love summer, but spring is my favourite time of the year…specifically, late spring when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom…

  • I love a sunny day

    Like this one, last Sunday…here’s to many more this summer…
