My Great Bear Rainforest Adventure – Part 1
I turned 40 a few months ago. I spent a lot of year 39 thinking about turning 40 and wanted to mark the occasion with something memorable. Last November, I googled “bear watching” as I’ve loved (and been terrified) of bears since I was about five years old when there was a bear in our…

Great Bear Rainforest
My big trip is about a week and a half away…I’m excited and a little nervous, but mostly I’m just looking forward to seeing some amazing scenery, and experiencing a part of Canada that not many people know about. I like the West Coast, especially Tofino and Ucluelet on the West Coast of Vancouver Island,…

when in doubt, take pictures of clouds
Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.” ― Rabindranath Tagore, Stray Birds I took a lot of pictures of clouds this week. The first two were from my balcony last Monday night when I was experimenting with my tripod so…

Coffee Break
I worked the weekend, so I’m off today and thought I would tackle some spring cleaning projects (ie. organizing my storage closet where everything I didn’t know what to do with this winter ended up). My reward for my efforts was enjoying afternoon coffee on my balcony where I get full afternoon sun. (I took…

Build Me Up Buttercup
…and just like that we are into Spring, actually Summer-like, temperatures. It’s been a beautiful few days here and suddenly the never-ending winter is a thing of the past. We melted at work today and are hopeful tomorrow will be a bit cooler inside (I’m definitely not complaining about the outside temperature!) otherwise we may…

Hope
When I went grocery shopping the other day I picked up some lettuce and spinach seeds. It finally is starting to feel like spring (although there is snow in the forecast for tomorrow) and just having the seeds in my possession is giving me hope that, yes, maybe this never-ending winter will actually end. So,…

hoar frost and an elephant
I love hoar frost. I think there is nothing prettier on a frigidly cold January day than a bright blue sky and hoar frost on the trees. We are well into March and still experiencing frigidly cold mornings and hoar frost on the trees. As I write this, the wind is gusting, the sky is…

fun with KitCam
It was a beautiful, sunny, cold day here and I had the day off. As much as I’m tired and uninspired by the snow, I thought I should actually take some pictures as it is now officially being reported that we’ve had the most amount of snow ever in this city – 196 cm (or…

Clouds
I love my balcony because it’s a great vantage point to take pictures of the sky at any time of the day. I was going through my photo library and re-discovered this one that I took in September. I never get tired of taking pictures of the sky and now that its getting warmer and…

Plaza de la Catedral (Cathedral Square), Havana
In Feburary 2009 we went to Varadero, Cuba for our winter vacation. Cuba is an interesting place to take pictures, and even though it wasn’t my favourite destination, I would like to go back just to take pictures (also because I think I’m a better photographer now and have a better camera!). It’s a very…

the Leg. on a Saturday Afternoon
I took these pictures of the Legislative Building with my iPhone on Saturday after work. I haven’t taken a lot of pics this winter, but now that the days are getting longer and the temperature is getting warmer, I’m starting to come out of hibernation! It’s been a long winter, with a LOT of snow.…

Grand Canyon of Yellowstone
In the summer of 2008, we went on a road trip through South Dakota to the Black Hills and then on to Yellowstone. It was on this trip that I started to become more interested in photography and to put some thought into taking pictures rather than pointing the camera at something and just shooting.…
