Goodbye, Summer – A Photo Blog
Posted on October 2, 2021 2 Comments
Hello! Thanks for joining me. Here’s a re-post of a photo blog from last year … I think. Or maybe it’s from the year before. Pandemic time is slippery. I can’t put order to it the same way as I could those wonderful regular days that preceded these. Have a great weekend. May you be […]
Exploring a Small Corner of Northern Alberta
Posted on September 11, 2021 6 Comments
Strange, isn’t it, that you can live somewhere for a long time and never get to know all of it? Upon returning to the Peace River country last week to where I was born and raised, I discovered some history new to me and spent some time revisiting familiar places in a region that still […]

Hello! Here are some photos and a video I took this morning of the bees at work in our garden. I planted these flowers exactly for this reason. Have a great day! – Lori And here are our finally-ripe apples – here because of the bees! We planted these trees four years ago and this […]
Hummingbirds, Flowers, and History: A Photo Blog of My Recent Trip
Posted on July 11, 2021 8 Comments
Photography is such a great creative outlet! I swear I pay more attention to my surroundings when I’m looking for photograph subjects. Any other camera-clickers feel this way? Also, I love editing my photos and sharing them here. It’s a nice change from writing (which I do for work). Don’t get me wrong; I love […]
Amid the Chickweed and Dust
Posted on June 26, 2021 7 Comments
I used to think I liked gardening. Now I’m not so sure. Last night, I was weeding the garden. I’d recently re-sowed some reluctant cucumber seeds and a couple of them had bravely sprouted – finally! But they were under siege, those shy little sprouts, from all sorts of chickweed and other unnamed weeds. (Well, […]
Roses – A Photo Blog
Posted on June 17, 2021 2 Comments
When I took some rose photos this morning, I realized just how many rose photos I have! I thought they’d make a cheerful photo blog. Roses are another beautiful reminder of the brevity of all life and of the importance of living in the moment. I tried to remember that today as I am feeling […]
A Rainy Thursday on the Prairies
Posted on June 11, 2021 3 Comments
I took this short video while standing within our covered deck. It’s a beautiful place from which to listen to the rain and stay (mostly) dry while listening. I don’t remember the last time we got a deluge like this, but there was likely a good rainfall or two last summer. The rain is calming […]

We had the opportunity to visit Big Knife Provincial Park last week for another hike, this time on the Highland Trail. During our previous visit, we hiked the Lowland Trail. Downloadable trail maps are available from the Alberta Parks website, if you’re interested. Thanks to Wander Woman Travel Magazine (check out the publication – it’s […]
Prairie Sunsets with Pablo Neruda
Posted on April 4, 2021 4 Comments
For years, I believed Pablo Neruda (1904-1973) to be the soft, starry-eyed poet of the love struck. Of course he was, but this Nobel Prize in Literature (1971) recipient was so much more. “He who becomes the slave of habit, who follows the same routes every day, who never changes pace, who does not risk […]
Abandoned Around Here – A Photo Blog
Posted on February 18, 2021 5 Comments
When looking for photos to post to the historical society Twitter account I manage, I realized that I have quite a trove of photos from abandoned homesteads and building sites in the area. Here are some of the best close-to-home shots from over recent years. These were all taken at the same abandoned farmstead. Wherever […]
