It’s been a while since anyone asked me to take pictures for them so, I was excited when my lovely friend and kick-ass trombonist, Erika Rybinski asked me for a session. Here are a few of the pictures from May.
A Late Night Auroral Surprise
On Monday, May 13th, I headed off to one of the RASC Saskatoon Centre’s monthly meetings just as I do every month. There had been talk about a likely CME (coronal mass ejection) – a type of solar activity that often leads to auroras – but as so often happens in the universe, the Sun […]
World Astronomy Day/Random Acts Of Astronomy
World Astronomy Day – spring edition – took place this year on May 11th. It’s an outreach day to show the public the wonders of the night sky. The Saskatoon Centre of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada is also doing a monthly Random Acts of Astronomy event with the same goal so it was […]
Springtime In The City
I’ve been trying to spend more time outside now that the weather is a little warmer and I’ve really been enjoying the sights and sounds of the city in spring. From the delicate crocuses popping out in the middle of the prairie grasslands to the sounds of the geese honking their way around town, Saskatoon […]
Rockin The Rock Show
Every year, a show comes to town that gets me exited. I’m not sure why because I don’t much about the subject but I know it’s super neat-o and I lover the pretty colours. I’m talking, of course, about the Gem & Mineral Show! Each spring, I walk past tables covered in all kind of […]
Gardenscape 2019
I know I say it every year but I’ve pretty well given up on Gardenscape, Saskatoon’s annual gardening and landscaping trade show. It seems to get worse every year – yes, I know I say that annually too. Too many non-relevant displays like the people selling fancy kitchen knives, too many old displays like the […]
Forestry Farm Follies
After a crazy cold couple of months, March came in with the perfect melt – not too fast, not too slow. With the snowshoes put away but the snow not completely gone, my adventure activity of choice became walking and what better place is there for walking than the zoo! The Saskatoon Forestry Farm Park […]
Snowshoeing In Frozen SK
Winter in 2018 started off nicely. A little cold snap but the temperatures were pretty nice for awhile. Unfortunately, I ended up with a nasty toothache so getting out to enjoy it was harder than it should have been. But if you saw my previous post, you’ll know that I ended the year with a […]
End Of Winter Birding
After a freezing start to the new year, I’ve been desperately wanting to get out of town and commune with nature. I’ve also been desperately looking for an excuse to take out my DSLR and start taking pictures again. So, on March 5th, I headed out to Pike Lake for the afternoon to partake in […]
Wild Encounters
My February started off on a high note when Little Ray’s Creature Centre came to Saskatoon with their creatures, great and small. Usually, these travelling animal shows are focused on reptiles and amphibians which are very cool but for me personally, not interesting enough to want to head out in the freezing cold to go […]
