I happened to look out my window on a gray day. You know the days, the days where its warmer and cozier just to stay in side and relax. I looked out and saw the grosbeaks were back enjoying the berries on my mountain ash tree. They were flocking and something scared them out of...

Around Town: Northern Lights
I’ve posted before about my fascination with the big, beautiful, blue Alberta sky. I love the nights when we arrive home under a brilliant night sky filled with billions of stars, the milky way, and the incredible northern lights. I love to watch them dance across the stars and never grow tired of watching them....
Around Town: A Perfect Summer’s Night
It has been an unusual summer weather wise for us. For awhile, it seemed like we could have beautiful early mornings but then the clouds would start to move in and by supper time, the storms moved in with rain pouring down. On the first beautiful summer evening that we’d had in quite a while,...
Around Town: Lilies
My Mom is an avid gardener and loves lilies. She has been trying new varieties of them and called me to come over and photograph them. I spent a lovely morning climbing around my Mom’s lily garden capturing these beautiful flowers. Enjoy!
Around Town: After The Rains

Bowler Hats and Shades!
Look at your most recent family portrait and tell me what it says about your family. Is it casual? Formal? Are you having fun playing together or are you sitting/smiling at the camera? Does it make a statement about who you are as a family or is it rather generic? Is it recent? Who are...
Around Town
Mr. Eschuk has been busy again. I went out one evening to catch a fantastic sky behind Mr. Eschuk’s sculptures only to discover they had melted. I was disappointed but it made me look around and I saw this: A few days later, I drove down the street and discovered Mr. Eshcuk had been busy...
Around Town
We now live in my hometown of Mannville, Alberta. We are really enjoying the sense of community we have found here. No longer are we strangers living among strangers in the city – we get greeted and welcomed every where we go. I’m going to start a new feature on our blog called “Around Town”...
