    tropical kingfisher?

    Every morning in Puerto Vallarta while enjoying a cup of coffee, I’d have my camera ready to take pictures of activity in Banderas Bay – sometimes it was a cruise ship coming into port or fishing boats, but a lot of times I was trying to capture all the different birds that landed in view…

  • walking in Puerto Vallarta

    walking in Puerto Vallarta

    Puerto Vallarta is a wonderful city.  It also made me mad, sometimes!  (Mad, might be too strong a word).  But, the great thing about travel is it makes you adapt.  You can’t think things are going to be like they are at home.  That’s the point of travel – to see and experience different things.…

  • into the mystic

    “hark, now hear the sailors cry, smell the sea, and feel the sky let your soul & spirit fly, into the mystic…” ― Van Morrison Banderas Bay, Puerto Vallarta…many photographs to share after two weeks in Puerto Vallarta, but this is one of my favourites.

  • a day at the beach

    Just some pictures from Maui in March 2015  I don’t think I’ve posted before.  Maui is great for surfers – and they always attract a crowd from the shore.  Grab lunch in Paia and then go to Ho’okipa Beach Park and take in all the sights.

  • Happy New Year!

    And now we welcome the new year. Full of things that have never been.                                                                                         -Rainer Maria Rilke After a really nice, cozy Christmas, it’s now it’s back to the real world!  I actually don’t mind January, especially those cold days when the sun is shining, the sky is a brilliant blue, and the snow…

    take me back to New Orleans

    I imagine Halloween in New Orleans is pretty amazing with all the ghost stories, mystery, voodoo, and colourful, colorful characters.  New Orleans was amazing when I was there in March – so alive and loud, so much music and food, a little smelly down some streets, a little creepy, but so intriguing, and so unforgettable. …

    animal therapy

    For when you have a week that needs a little cute animal therapy to get you through it! And my favourite animal picture I’ve ever taken….just look at that face.  The Great Bear Rainforest in British Columbia is beautiful in so many different ways, but to get this close to a bear who trusted that…

  • Island Lake Lodge

    Island Lake Lodge

    I enjoy planning trips – I like doing the research just as much as actually going on the trip.  Usually the trips are planned well in advance, but this one was planned with about two weeks notice – a look at work schedules and a desire to get out of the city for a few…

    a little creature in a big world

    While I put together a longer post with pictures of a place that according to their website National Geographic Traveler Magazine called one of the most unique and authentic places to stay in Canada, here’s a pic I snapped of a little creature lucky enough to call that part of the world of the home. …

    What a summer it’s been for storms on the prairies!  Here’s a shot of storm clouds from the side of the road near Gull Lake, Saskatchewan on Saturday morning.

  • Prince Albert National Park Sunset

    Prince Albert National Park Sunset

    Waskesiu Lake sunset at Prince Albert National Park….my favourite part of camping in the park was listening to the sounds of loons calling in the distance.  If you look at this picture long enough, you just might be able to hear their distinctive and haunting song. Made me think of how many National Parks I’ve…
