  • Spectacle Lake

    I’d forgotten about these pics until a few days ago when I was looking for pictures to go with my last post.  This is Spectacle Lake in Algonquin Park in Ontario.  This was just a one night stop at Spectacle Lake Lodge on a trip to Quebec City in 2010. It was a beautiful, peaceful…

    A collection of a few of my favourite pics taken while walking in the woods…

  • Butchart Gardens

    I’m planning a trip to Vancouver Island and really looking forward to visiting Butchart Gardens in Victoria again.  Looking back at pictures from 2009 when I was there for the first time, I realized this is where my love of taking close up pictures of flowers began!

  • anxiously awaiting the colours of spring and summer

    The sky is a brilliant blue today, and it’s a balmy -28 degrees (-38 with the windchill) and these Blue Rodeo lyrics (song is “Get Through To You”) are going through my head: Looks like winter’s never gonna leave this grey town I think it’s going to snow all summer Okay, I know winter will…

  • Yes, You Got Me

    On last year’s trip to the Great Bear Rainforest we saw seals frequently. However, every time I got my camera ready to get a picture they escaped back under the water. Then it became a game to snap a picture and I was determined I’d get a decent one before the end of the trip.…

  • Road Trippin’ 2014

    I’m in the midst of planning a road trip for late spring along the West Coast of the US ending up in Wine Country…of course!  I always take pictures from the car and here’s a sampling of my road collection….

  • Taking A Moment

    The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself. ― Henry Miller These are two of my favourite pictures from my trip to the Great Bear Rainforest last June. I’ve posted them before, but these jumped out at me again when I…

  • Lahaina Public Library

    Since my brother and sister-in-law are off to Hawaii this week, I’ve been going through my Maui pictures and dreaming of a tropical paradise. Maybe I should apply for a job here. I’m very well qualified. And the Pacific Ocean… just around the corner? I don’t think I could get used to to that at…

  • a good book

    A good book is a good book, wherever you are reading it, but a good book enjoyed while sitting outside is one of my favourite things.  These are pics taken during a trip to Cypress Hills this past summer when I was taking a break from reading at our campsite. The book I was reading…
