  • 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…

    Healthy Mindset – Day 2

    Sunday was a beautiful day. When I was out for a walk, it felt like winter is finally behind us here in Saskatchewan. My boots got muddy, I saw geese returning to Wascana Lake, and I heard lots of different birds singing. All the normal signs of Spring. Being outside felt normal. Keeping some things…

  • Palermo Street Art

    With all that is going on in the world, I’ve been looking at my pictures from a trip to Italy last April and realized I haven’t shared any of them on my blog. Having spent a week in Florence and a week in Palermo, Sicily the lockdown there seems so surreal because the streets are…

  • Hello!

    Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.” ― Søren Kierkegaard 2019 has been quite a year for me! It’s been abundant with growth and change and learning. And even though I wasn’t posting pics, I was still out taking them…here is one of my favourites from this year. This is…

  • Went to Paris for the Seine

    It’s been an eventful year, and the other day, I was lamenting the fact that I haven’t taken that many photos this year compared to other years.  But, then one of my Paris pictures popped up on my screensaver, and I remembered I WAS THERE in the Spring! And, I took a lot of pictures!…

  • The Enchanted Forest

    The Enchanted Forest

    My favourite family vacation almost came to a tragic end at the Enchanted Forest, near Revelstoke, British Columbia.  My mom, dad, brother (with a box of comics between us in the backseat) and I had just finished walking through the Enchanted Forest and piled into our two door blue Dodge Aspen, pulling our Boler trailer,…

  • ceilings of the Louvre

    “Remember to look at the ceilings in the Louvre!” That’s the advice I took to heart in Paris.  The Louvre is intimidating – it’s the biggest and most visited museum in the world, so not only is there so much to see (over 35 000 works of art), you are often jockeying for a prime…

  • Walking Along the Seine

    One of my favourite parts of Paris was being near the Seine River. After a long, cold winter, the real purpose of the trip was not to visit the museums, eat the food, and drink the wine (okay that was part of it, too!!),  but to be outside and explore the city on foot. Every…

  • In Paris….around every corner…

    In Paris….around every corner…

    …is something delightful to discover! The Stravinsky Fountain was on my list….and we happened on it accidentally after a wine tasting lunch while walking through the historical Beaubourg District. I love this mural by Jef Aerosol called Chuuutttt! A few days into the trip, after lucking out and just coming upon the Fountain, the guidebook…

  • Paris in the Spring

    Paris is always a good idea. -Audrey Hepburn After two weeks in Paris, it’s back to work and back to the real world.  Paris was everything I imagined it would be and more.  It sparked my imagination, and I wanted to check off the “study” box on my customs form on the return to Canada…

  • Saturday by the Seine

    A beautiful afternoon in Paris….

  • Sunday Night in Paris

    It was a rainy first day in Paris, but the rain made for some pretty picture taking opportunities…this is at the end of the bridge (Pont Saint-Louis) which links the two islands in Paris – Ile Saint Louis and Ile de la Cite.
