Sunflower against a farmer’s field
Just a pretty picture of a sunflower taken in late August last year near Pangman, SK. I’ve posted this one before, but it’s one of my favourites. I enjoy photography as a hobby because it makes me look at my surroundings differently (I’ve likely written that before). I like to observe things and photography is…

Soon
Spring will come soon, the snow will melt, puddles will dry up, trees will bud, tulips will emerge from the ground…. But c’mon, more snow? More cold? Soon can’t come soon enough! I need new pictures to post here instead of posting from deep within my photo library! Bleak grey skies and dirty snow don’t…

March is a weird month
March is that weird month when the sidewalks are treacherously icy on the morning walk to work and on the walk home you have to avoid all the puddles and slush. You don’t dare stand or walk on the edge of the sidewalk unless you take pleasure in getting soaked by passing cars. It’s not…

The Big Melt
Hopefully, the long cold part of winter is over. Temps for the next week are forecast to be above freezing – bye bye snow! (Realistically, if this March is like last March more snow is on the horizon, but the relief from the cold and spending more time outside without the threat of frozen eyelashes,…

anxiously awaiting the colours of spring and summer
The sky is a brilliant blue today, and it’s a balmy -28 degrees (-38 with the windchill) and these Blue Rodeo lyrics (song is “Get Through To You”) are going through my head: Looks like winter’s never gonna leave this grey town I think it’s going to snow all summer Okay, I know winter will…

Things I do to distract myself while doing the dishes
I don’t like doing dishes. Tonight, while I was standing in the kitchen doing dishes, I happened to turn around and saw a pretty nice sunset developing outside my living room window. So, I dried my hands, grabbed my cameras (I’m trying out a new one), opened my balcony door (it was about -16 at…

Oh Canada
I’m a big fan of the Olympics and a bit sad that they are pretty much over. I could wait to post this after the Canada-Sweden men’s hockey gold medal game, but regardless if Canada wins or not, I’ve enjoyed watching all the Canadian athletes. My favourite moments were Regina’s own snowboarder, Mark McMorris, winning…

A Colourful Day in Regina
Temperatures were above freezing here today for the first time in 2014 (at least I think it was the first time this year, it’s been a long winter!) and it was the Family Day holiday, so I spent the afternoon with my camera in my hands (which was also the first time I’ve taken any…

Taking A Moment
The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself. ― Henry Miller These are two of my favourite pictures from my trip to the Great Bear Rainforest last June. I’ve posted them before, but these jumped out at me again when I…

a good book
A good book is a good book, wherever you are reading it, but a good book enjoyed while sitting outside is one of my favourite things. These are pics taken during a trip to Cypress Hills this past summer when I was taking a break from reading at our campsite. The book I was reading…

Battleford, SK
A few photos I took on my Christmas vacation…. Now on to one of my favourite months – January! Really, I do like January. Calling it one of my favourite months might be pushing it a bit, but I don’t hate it! (This is a relatively new thing, I used to hate it). Yes, it’s…

My Favourite Places – Banff
Since frigid temperatures are negatively impacting my photography hobby lately, my next few posts are going to be about some of my favourite places. A couple of days ago I was looking at pictures from a trip to Banff in October 2012 so I’ll start there. I could easily place Banff in my top three…
