Great Bear Rainforest
You only need sit still long enough in some attractive spot in the woods that all its inhabitants may exhibit themselves to you by turns. Henry David Thoreau In the case of these photos, the attractive spot was on the water, in a zodiac with six other people being as still and quiet as possible…

up on the roof
Still have some Puerto Vallarta pics to share which is a good thing! Between being busy at work and figuring out how I’m going to handle my workload, and being uninspired by the April landscapes this year, I haven’t picked up a camera in awhile. The prospect of May flowers, though, will change that soon!…

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.…

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. …

simple things
I always have a camera in my bag (well, two if you count my phone)…but these are the results of actually taking a camera out of my bag! Work has been a little stressful, and as an antidote to that stress, I’ve been taking more pictures, and thinking about why I started my blog so…

wise words
or just create your own…. I still gush about New Orleans to anyone who asks (and some who don’t), but there is just so much to explore in the city. If you find yourself in New Orleans, and want a (quiet) break from the action in the French Quarter, check out at the sculpture garden…

French Quarter after the rain
I loved taking photos at night in the French Quarter – it’s just as pretty and colourful at night as it is during the day. The restaurant in the picture, the Italian Barrel, was one of my favourites of the trip, and I’d highly recommend it if you find yourself in New Orleans. A block…

Royal Street window shopping at night
My favourite street in the Quarter, especially for window shopping at night. This is part one (I took a lot of pictures on Royal Street).

Frenchmen Street at night
There are many reasons to love Frenchmen Street – the music on the streets and in all the clubs and restaurants, the awesome people watching, the great food at Three Muses (ate there twice), and I still think longingly about all the necklaces and bracelets I left un-bought at the Art Market. At times it…

Walking in the French Quarter
Two things about walking in the French Quarter – drivers in New Orleans are crazy and so are cyclists. Pedestrians don’t have the right of way when crossing at an intersection and if you’re crossing a one way street make sure to look the other way so you don’t get hit by a cyclist (who…

the sun shines in New Orleans
Now that I’m home from New Orleans and have some new photos to share, I’ll be back to posting more regularly. For the foreseeable future, it will likely be very heavy on New Orleans pics. We arrived on a Tuesday evening, after the sun had set, checked in to the apartment I found on Airbnb,…

clouds on the prairies
I declare this world is so beautiful that I can hardly believe it exists. – Ralph Waldo Emerson There is much to be sad, troubled, and outraged about what goes on in the world, but there is also much to celebrate, to admire and to find peace and happiness in. The trick is not to…
