  • Clouds

    I love my balcony because it’s a great vantage point to take pictures of the sky at any time of the day. I was going through my photo library and re-discovered this one that I took in September. I never get tired of taking pictures of the sky and now that its getting warmer and…

  • the Leg. on a Saturday Afternoon

    I took these pictures of the Legislative Building with my iPhone on Saturday after work. I haven’t taken a lot of pics this winter, but now that the days are getting longer and the temperature is getting warmer, I’m starting to come out of hibernation! It’s been a long winter, with a LOT of snow.…

  • escape

    I’m trying not to dwell on it, but this is going to be a long winter…and because the plan is to do a big trip later in the year (I have a milestone birthday this year and want to do something memorable), there is probably no winter escape in my future this year.  So, I…

  • blue skies

    As I write this, we are in the middle of another snowstorm.  I’ve lost count at how many snowstorms we’ve had this winter.  It’s getting to be a bit much… I took these cloud/blue sky pictures on Saturday which was a much nicer day! This is what it looked like downtown this afternoon…ugh… I will…

  • 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…

  • rooftops

    I went out on my balcony this morning (it was only about -6 outside, so not too bad!) and got this shot.  I’m quite happy with the way it turned out and how the brick on the First Baptist Church (foreground) and Knox-Metropolitan United Church looks on a grey Sunday morning. That’s Regina’s City Hall…

  • winter is not my favourite season, but it still can be pretty

    winter is not my favourite season, but it still can be pretty

    “What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.” ― John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley: In Search of America It could be a long winter here. We’ve had snow since the end of October. A lot of snow. We’ve had freezing rain, too, making walking and driving treacherous…

  • beam me up

    I was walking through Victoria Park on my supper break the other day and happened upon this scene.  These were taken with my iPhone and I planned to to take my Nikon to work the next day since my supper break was at the same time and try to capture some better images.  It was…

  • Los Muertos Beach

    It’s snowing here….again. We’ve had more snow this month than we had all last winter.  I don’t mind the snow, I think it’s quite pretty, in fact. A few months from now, though, I’ll be ready for a winter escape.  This is a pic from a trip to Puerto Vallarta in March.  I liked Puerto…

  • grey morning

    It’s a grey morning here today… it matches the sky in these pictures from my trip to Banff at the end of October. These were taken on the drive from Kananaskis to Banff which is really scenic (even on a dull, grey, snowy morning).

  • Sulphur Mountain

    Pretty drive up Sulphur Mountain to see if the Banff Upper Hot Springs were re-opened (they weren’t).  I really like the way the clouds and the trees look in this picture.  As a travel tip, there is a nice hotel called the Rimrock Resort Hotel across from the Hot Springs.  I got a really good…
