Maui Morning
It’s still cold here. I’ve gone out and about taking pictures in the cold a few times, but I’m not really inspired at the moment. So, I’m back to looking through my photo library and at this time of year, my pics from Maui are the ones that stand out. These are all from Kaanapali…

blue skies
As I write this, we are in the middle of another snowstorm. I’ve lost count at how many snowstorms we’ve had this winter. It’s getting to be a bit much… I took these cloud/blue sky pictures on Saturday which was a much nicer day! This is what it looked like downtown this afternoon…ugh… I will…

winter is not my favourite season, but it still can be pretty
“What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.” ― John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley: In Search of America It could be a long winter here. We’ve had snow since the end of October. A lot of snow. We’ve had freezing rain, too, making walking and driving treacherous…

Books In My Office 2
I have a vacation coming up in a week or so and am starting to collect books in my office to take on the trip. I’ll likely end up taking three or four after reading a few pages of each to make sure I like them enough to pack in my suitcase!

Happy Thanksgiving!
Since it’s Thanksgiving weekend in Canada, I just want to say thank you for visiting my blog. Still not quite sure where I’m going with it, but so far it’s been great motivation for taking more pictures and trying to look at things I see everyday in a new way. Thanks again for all the…

sick day
I have a cold. It’s your regular, run of the mill cold – itchy watery eyes, runny nose, aches, pains and fever and no energy. I’m feeling pretty miserable right now. To make matters worse I can’t sleep because new windows are getting installed on the floor below me so there has been some sawing…

“If You Go Out In the Woods Today”
I am terrified and fascinated by bears. If I sleep in a tent at a campground where there could be bears (and it’s been a few years since I’ve slept in a tent), I don’t sleep until the sun comes up. I hear every noise – every squirrel scurrying up a tree, every coyote howling…

Rider Pride
The Canadian Football League season is in full-swing now, and my team, the Saskatchewan Roughriders, is the best team in the league right now, after a sub-par season last year. If you aren’t familiar with the CFL, it’s an eight team professional football league that runs from July-November. I love the CFL. There are just…

Summer Reading
I’m going camping in a week. One of my favourite parts about camping is reading by the campfire until the last bit of sun is gone. Not sure I’ll have room in my luggage for all these books, though!

Summers Are for Road Trips – Montreal Edition
One full day in Montreal is obviously not enough time to even scratch the surface of all the sights in the city. Most of the pictures I took are from Place d’Armes (including Notre Dame Basilica), Old Montreal and a few while wandering downtown. These pics are from Place d’Armes, an area that dates back…

Summer Spaghettini Salad
I don’t profess to be an expert in the kitchen. I like to cook, I like to experiment, and I like to “jazz” things up. Sometimes my experiments are tasty, sometimes they are not. I’ve been a Type 1 diabetic for nine years (aka juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes) and have to account for everything…

Quebec City – Part Three
These are pictures from Lower Town in Old Quebec. Like I’ve said previously, you can spend lots of time just wandering around Old Quebec. You don’t really need a plan, just step out your hotel door and start walking (which is how most of my vacations end up – just a general plan and then…
