Sir Paul McCartney at Mosaic Stadium
Last night was a pretty fantastic night in the Queen City. Sir Paul McCartney was in town and played to a sold-out Mosaic Stadium (I think that was the final word – there was some debate beforehand why it didn’t sell-out sooner). I’m not a Paul McCartney superfan, but I definitely knew I was going…

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,…

flowers
It’s been a really nice summer here this year – lots of sunshine and heat (although I’m not sure I like the really hot days as much as I used to). The forecast is for a warm September so I hopefully I can make my flowers last a little longer, although the heat and wind…

“Yeah we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun.”
“Yeah we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun.” John Lennon I love watching the phases of the moon and I think it’s so awesome that I’m able to get so close with my new camera (Nikon p510) Earlier in the week, I was able to get some good shots…

Flash Gordon
The summer I was 11 or 12 I watched Flash Gordon on HBO probably 10 times. It’s still in my top ten of favourite movies. The soundtrack by Queen is awesome, the writing and acting is so bad it’s good, and I had such a crush on Sam Jones. What was your favourite movie when…

dahlias three ways
Did you know that dahlias are the national flower of Mexico? I don’t remember seeing any dahlias in Puerto Vallarta in March, but then again I don’t think I took any flower pictures there. It was more about eating good food, sticking my toes in the sand and taking sunset pictures. Summer is still in…

a beautiful summer weekend
The weather was perfect this weekend. It was cooler at the beginning of the week and I wore long pants to work and even uttered the word fall a few times, but thank goodness summer has returned. These are a few pics from this weekend – a good portion of which was spent outside –…

love is…
This has been my camping coffee mug for years. It’s one of my favourite camping rituals, along with nightly hot dog and marshmallow roasts around the fire before bedtime.

Rider Pride
The Canadian Football League season is in full-swing now, and my team, the Saskatchewan Roughriders, is the best team in the league right now, after a sub-par season last year. If you aren’t familiar with the CFL, it’s an eight team professional football league that runs from July-November. I love the CFL. There are just…

Summers Are for Road Trips – Montreal Edition
One full day in Montreal is obviously not enough time to even scratch the surface of all the sights in the city. Most of the pictures I took are from Place d’Armes (including Notre Dame Basilica), Old Montreal and a few while wandering downtown. These pics are from Place d’Armes, an area that dates back…
