  • Morning coffee view

    Day two in paradise… aka Kaanapali Beach….

  • sunset sail

    The number of sleeps until Maui is now in the single digits!  I’ve planned sight-seeing/photography activities for six of the ten days, leaving room to read by the pool, go to the beach, and just generally laze about if that’s what the day feels like. The only activity I’ve booked in advance is a sunset…

  • Sheringham Point Lighthouse

    I was going through my pictures to find something I haven’t posted before and realized I never got around to posting pictures from a walk to the Sheringham Point Lighthouse (built in 1912) near Sooke on Vancouver Island from a trip there in June.  

  • to brighten a cold February day

    Just a pretty tulip to brighten a cold February day…  

  • Ocean Village

    I was going through my photo library and realized 2011 was a good travel year – Maui in March, Tofino, BC in June, and camping at Emma Lake, SK in August.  It’s not likely that sequence will be repeated this year, but I would love to go back to Tofino and Ocean Village Resort at…

  • Oh Maui, It’s On!

    This Kaanapali Beach scene (taken a couple of hours before I got on the plane to come home in March 2011) has been the desktop picture on my laptop for quite awhile… …in about six weeks or so, hopefully, I’ll have a a new version!

  • feels like -43

    It’s cold here. The first week of January is always cold.  It’s minus 30, but with the windchill it feels like -43. So, Kaanapali Beach in Maui is looking pretty darn appealing right about now…

  • lazy Sunday afternoon

    ….that moment when you are about to drift off and enjoy a nice Sunday afternoon nap and someone gets down on the floor and sticks a camera in your face…

  • Lake Louise

    …a classic Canadian scene…Lake Louise, late October 2012

  • “come sail away”

    Who wouldn’t love to sail off into the sunset on a cold, snowy, Monday? …and now I’m going to spend the rest of the evening with the Styx song “Come Sail Away” in my head! Come sail away with me Come sail away come sail away Come sail away with me

  • Finlayson Island

    October’s weather has been nothing short of spectacular throughout Saskatchewan. The petunias are still blooming on my balcony and my cherry tomato plant is still producing – and the number of days I’ve had to wear socks this month is in the single digits! I was in Battleford on the weekend and went to Finlayson…

  • Mount Rundle

    Thought I shared this one already, but here’s Mount Rundle in Banff. We stayed at the Tunnel Mountain Trailer Park campground in July with Mount Rundle as the view. Can’t beat that!
