  • City Square Plaza

    Regina’s City Square Plaza is a controversial space for a lot of different reasons – for me the three biggest are that it was massively over budget, cars and pedestrians share the space which in my opinion is a recipe for disaster, and the architectural features are ugly.  Don’t get me wrong, I actually think…

  • denial

    Since spring/summer weather was so late to arrive this year, I’m in denial that today is the first day of fall… so here are some pictures from the Summer Solstice at English Bay in Vancouver.  It was a beautiful evening and it felt like everyone in the city was out enjoying the warm summer night.…

  • “Open Your Eyes and Look!”

    “We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.” – Jawaharial Nehru Photography is a wonderful hobby because you start looking at everything you see in a whole new way. It…

  • Sunset Silhouettes @ English Bay

    English Bay in Vancouver is one of my favourite places. These shots are from a beautiful Friday evening in June where it seemed like everyone was just happy to be outside enjoying the longest day of the year, watching the sunset at English Bay.  I focused in on these two as I found his body…

  • My Saskatchewan

    Today is Saskatchewan Day (which means it’s a long weekend here) so I thought I’d share a few pictures I’ve taken in the last few weeks, including some of my favourite places in Saskatchewan.

  • Evening in the Great Bear Rainforest

    Prior to the trip, I imagined spending evenings on the deck of the boat watching the setting sun with my camera by my side and a book in my hands.  Since the Great Bear Rainforest is fairly far north and the trip was the week before the summer solstice, it didn’t get dark until about…

  • 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…

  • Sunset In Prince Rupert

    After a day of flying on Sunday…Regina to Calgary to Vancouver to Prince Rupert this sunset was the reward. Tomorrow is the seaplane trip to meet the boat at a small aboriginal fishing village called Hartley Bay. Hopefully the next week will include lots of wildlife viewing and great weather to enjoy the amazing scenery.

  • 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…

  • another Saskatchewan sunset

    I love fall sunsets and the view from my balcony…  

  • colours of fall

    These are mostly pictures I took this morning. I went for a walk, not really planning what I wanted to take pictures of and found a tree with brilliant red leaves. That inspired me to try to get enough pictures to do a “colours of fall” post.  When you really look at your surroundings, beauty…

  • Fall Sunset

    I spent a very frustrating day off setting up my new laptop. I had hoped to go out late this afternoon to try to take some fall scene pictures, but by then I was just frustrated, so that’s when I take to the kitchen!  I made meatloaf (which when you think about is a really…
