  • 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…

  • Neighbourhood Walk Part 2

    All of these sights are in my neighbourhood.  I’ve lived in Regina for a long time now, and I’ve never really thought of it as a pretty city. (I think I may have said this in a post a few months ago, too!)   I appreciate many of the things the city has to offer,…

  • Queen Elizabeth II Gardens

    The Queen Elizabeth II Gardens in front of the Legislative Building in Regina re-opened on the weekend after a $1 million renovation.  I love the Leg. – I think it’s a beautiful building (although I certainly don’t love the governing party that is inhabiting it right now!).

  • “If You Go Out In the Woods Today”

    “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…

  • Elk Island National Park

      I just got back from my annual camping trip with my parents.  Our main destination this year was Jasper National Park, but on the way we camped at Elk Island National Park for a night. Elk Island is about an hour from Edmonton and is a less busy park than Banff and Jasper. After…

  • 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…

  • Quebec City – Part Two

    Old Quebec is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.  It’s compromised of Upper Town and Lower Town, and the ramparts surrounding Old Quebec are a National Historic Site of Canada.  These are pictures from walking around Upper Town.  If you like to walk and wander and admire beautiful surroundings this is a perfect place to visit.…

  • Summers Are For Road Trips – Quebec City

    I love Quebec City, specifically Old Quebec.  I’ve never been to Europe, but I imagine it’s like being in a European city. Founded in 1608, it’s one of North America’s oldest cities. The Chateau Frontenac is reported to be one of the most photographed hotels in the world.  I took my fair share of pictures.…

  • Mammatus Clouds

    A continuation of my last post – I’m still fascinated by these clouds that appeared after the brief storm last night. I’ve never seen anything like it!  It was such an eerie, awe-inspiring feeling to look up at the sky.

  • like a little kid

    I feel like a little kid tonight.  My new camera arrived – a Nikon Coolpix p510 – I was so excited to open the box!  I really enjoy taking pictures, but I’m not ready (nor can I really afford) to spend big money on a camera.  This one was highly recommended, and is in my…
