The beauty of blooming canola this time of year is amazing. I love driving among the yellow fields in rural Alberta.

On my travels today I stopped along the side of the road to snap this photo of the mighty Peace River near Dunvegan Provincial Park and historic area. It was so pretty I just had to pull over and appreciate

I was sorting through some photos today and came across one from last summer. I am looking forward to roasting marshmallows over the campfire again very soon I hope. After a long winter one gets a bit

I live in an area where we have winter a good part of our year. This year is no exception as snow arrived in late October and is still hanging out here. We have had more snow this year than in the last

I captured this shot after an evening meeting that I attended the other night. The heavy fog had resulted in some hoar frost building up on the trees. I left the meeting and saw this beautful scene. Sometimes

Good Morning! I thought that I would share this photo that I took while visiting the farm. Sometimes the snow lends itself to some very beautiful moments. We have had some fairly chilly days lately but

Hello! I haven't been on for a while but was out and about yesterday and took this photo in Grande Prairie at Muskoseepi Park. Winter has arrived and I think that it is here to stay. Time to hibernate

During our recent weekend trip to Jasper we ventured up to visit Pyramid Lake which is not very far from the town of Jasper. Although it was a chilly day the visit was lovely. We enjoyed the peace and

Last evening I posted a picture of the sunset on the farm so this morning I thought that I would post a photo of the Sunrise the next morning. Such beauty and peacefulness. One perk of getting up early

I visited family last week where I took advantage of the beautiful weather and did a walk-about around the farm where I grew up. The sunset was amazing so I just had to share. The small lake that sits

During our visit to Jasper we ventured down to visit Sunwapita Falls. We visited in the morning so there were not too many people there yet, which was nice. We decided to venture down to the bottom of

I could not help but go outside and enjoy some beauty in my own neighbourhood. I live near a storm pond that is filled with many autumn colours at the moment. It is so very peaceful in the area so it is

While touring around the Jasper Area we decided to go a bit off the beaten track and visit Moab Lake. Moab Lake is located along Highway 93A in Jasper National Park. Highway 93A is a lot less busy than

Athabasca Falls is another great stop in Jasper National Park. It is always a must stop location for us. We visited here on September 24, 2017 during our quick weekend visit to Jasper. I appreciate the
