It’s that time of year when the northern lights – or more accurately, the Aurora Borealis – is typically seen. In the digital and social media age, this means it’s the time of year when there are pictures plastered everywhere. So, when I was told that a solar storm was headed our way – yes, […]
With a few days off of work this week and clear highway conditions, I took the opportunity to go visit a friend in North Battleford. The last time I was there was for work so it didn’t occur to me then to take my camera. This time, I brought it with me and made sure […]
Yes, I have another belated post here as this should have been a Valentine’s Day thing, but alas, life once again got in the way. I’d like to think though, that beautiful pictures can be posted and viewed at any time of the year. Am I right? I had to work during Valentine’s Day this […]
For some time now, I’ve been getting really frustrated with the look of this website. The clean, simple, white layout was nice, but it also created a considerable amount of frustration for me as it became more and more constricting. The last straw was when I noticed my photo galleries coming out in single file […]
Everyone knows how much I love taking pictures and how much I love flowers so, of course, the two things are going to be a recurring theme on my web page! The amaryllis bulb that I bought for a few bucks when I last worked at the University of Saskatchewan has once again […]
Wintershines is once again upon Saskatoon! I can’t honestly say though that this is a festival that I totally understand, but that’s probably because I tend to go to check it out in the middle of the day when there isn’t much going on. Most events, I believe, are in the evenings and weekends, but that’s […]
This weekend, there was a Wildlife Festival at Prairieland Park put on by The Canadian Raptor Conservancy, Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo and The Backyard Conservation Fund of Canada. Of course, I love critters so I had to check it out! Silly Sally here didn’t think to bring her DSLR though so cell phone photos will […]
I had always wanted to play with a ‘fish eye’ lens, but could never justify spending the crazy amounts of money for them. There’s just something so interesting about an 180 degree field of view though that’s appealing. A couple of years ago, I discovered that a company called Bower who makes aftermarket photography supplies made an […]
“All a musician can do is to get closer to the sources of nature, and so feel that he is in communion with the natural laws.” – John Coltrane As I have actually been putting in a solid effort into studying music these days, I can’t help but come across the wisdom of the greats […]
Despite living so close to the Forestry Farm Park & Zoo, I haven’t been to the zoo in ages. In fact, I think the last time I was there was in high school. It’s extra silly too since it’s free in the winter time and with the temperatures right now in the minus single digits, […]
