  • sunflowers on a Saturday afternoon

    Is there a more cheerier flower than a sunflower?  I don’t think so. I took these pictures a few weeks ago on a very hot Saturday afternoon from a gravel road between two fields near Pangman, Saskatchewan (south of Regina).  The wind was blowing, so I had to sometimes hold the stems with one hand,…

  • happy

    I loved this wildflower meadow…these yellow flowers just look happy.

  • Chocolate Lilies

    Many of the inlets we visited were full of beautiful wild flowers, some of which I’d never seen before…like the chocolate lily.

  • My Great Bear Rainforest Adventure – Part 2

    The seaplane trip from Prince Rupert to Hartley Bay was 45 minutes – I’m generally not prone to motion sickness but we hit a few air pockets that had my stomach in my mouth, but I managed to pull it together and continue taking pictures from the plane. I can’t say I loved the seaplane…

  • pretty light on a Saturday night

    Flowers on my balcony…

  • 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…

  • garden mums in January

    I usually don’t post twice in one day, but I liked these garden mum pics.  The mums bloomed into October and then it snowed and I never got around to cleaning out the pots.  Surprisingly, they don’t look too bad, so I’ll leave them for the rest of the winter.  I took the frosty pic…

  • petunias

    Brrr….there was a bit of snow here this morning.  It melted as soon as it hit the ground… I really don’t mind snow… but it’s too early! I still haven’t gotten around to cleaning up all my flowers (although the garden mum still looks great) and took these petunia pictures early last week. I played…

  • ladybug trilogy

    I came across this ladybug when I was tidying up the flowers on my balcony and thought it would be good practice to try to take some pictures of it.  

  • 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…

  • morning walk

    morning walk

    It’s another beautiful Saturday in Regina – the sun is shining and the air is crisp – quite appropriate for the first day of Fall.  The temperature fell below zero overnight so I wanted to get a few flower pictures this morning before it’s too late, and I also took a few more pictures around…

  • neighbourhood walk

    It’s a beautiful day here so I decided to take my camera with me when I walked to the Canada Post outlet at Shoppers Drug Mart to pick up a parcel this morning.  I’m a fast walker, but today I decided to amble along and really  look around as I walked.  I enjoyed my morning…
