I’m just going to come out and say it: This has not been a good summer for me. I usually complain about the weather not being just right for whatever summer activities I have planned. In the past few years, it’s been my health also getting in the way of plans. This year, I learned […]
Last year, I was invited to North Battleford to do some public astronomy programming. Unfortunately, I was too busy with wedding shoot planning and editing and I was unable to find anyone else who was interested. I was contacted again this year but as I am no longer a member of the astronomy club both […]
This July, we have a furry little visitor with us. With her humans out of the country, Penny the poodle is staying with us. She was pretty homesick for the first week so I was desperately trying to distract her and what better distraction for a dog than a walk! Bella and I hadn’t done […]
Every year, I do one of three things on my birthday: veg out at jazz fest, go shopping for birthday swag, or go kayaking. For the past few years, jazz fest moved to July so that leaves me with one of two choices. This year, I went kayaking on the river. It was such a […]
June is one of my favorite times to be near the river. Not only are there lots of geese around but the babies are also out wandering around and oh my, are they ever adorable! I love watching them grow up. June is also a time for human children to show how much they’ve grown […]

A few weeks ago, while playing chauffeur for my folks, I grabbed my camera and headed down to the weir. I had gone once earlier in May but I didn’t get a chance to get right down to the river’s edge. I find it tricky to shoot these adorkable waterfowl. I tend to be at […]
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been hearing the honk of Canadian Geese overhead. It’s definitely a welcome sign of spring! Last week I wandered downtown to see if there were any waddling around Kinsmen Park and sure enough, a pair appeared around the Vimy Memorial. Then, another pair appeared. And another. Here are […]
At the end of March, an alert came up for an incoming solar storm that was likely to produce a spectacular show of Northern lights. As usual, I saw this alert and promptly forgot about it. So, when I took the dog for a walk on the evening of March 27, I was quickly reminded […]
It’s been too long since my last post so here’s the first of my catch-up updates. Back in early March, I took a wander to Pike Lake to get in some exercise and feed the birds. The weather was mild so I collected up my camera, a baggy of bird seed, my mother, and my […]
