  • the lowly petunia

    I used to think petunias were boring.  When I first started planting flowers on my balcony,  I would choose plants at the greenhouse that were more interesting and prettier – gerbera daisies, garden mums, fuchsias and a host of flowers that bloomed once and never again. I was attracted to the flash of colour and…

  • side of the road

    Some lyrics from one of my favourite songs, “Side of the Road” by one of my favourite bands, Blue Rodeo…and because the pictures remind me of my summer job in university spent walking through farmers’ fields doing a corrosion survey of a pipeline. I remember one particular moment very clearly. I was done walking my…

  • late Saturday afternoon walk

    It feels like Spring has finally sprung here, so it was great to be outside with a lighter jacket, go for a walk and take some pictures.  These are some of the things I saw…

  • Geese in Flight

    Here’s one more shot of the geese in Wascana Park on Sunday afternoon…this one needed a bit of work as the Legislative Bldg was badly out of focus in the original…

  • Albert Street Bridge pillars

    The pillars on the Albert Street Bridge are likely my most photographed subject in Regina.  This one I took at about about 6pm tonight just might be my favourite.

  • 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,…

  • 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…

  • summer over winter

    As I’ve written before, I think Regina is quite a pretty city.  However, I much prefer it in this season… Than in this season… It is currently minus 32 degrees here.  Shudder.  The debate at work is would you rather have the massive amount of snow of the never-ending winter of 2013 or the mind-numbingly…

  • 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…

  • Sunset Walk

    I’ve been experimenting in Photoshop lately, and these photos are the ones I’m willing to share…so far!  These are from a walk around Wascana Park in early October where the reward at the end of the walk was a beautiful sky at sunset.

  • Road Trippin’ 2014

    I’m in the midst of planning a road trip for late spring along the West Coast of the US ending up in Wine Country…of course!  I always take pictures from the car and here’s a sampling of my road collection….

  • flowers for a Monday in January

    Just some flower pictures for a wintery Monday…
