My Own Canvas

Like a blank canvas, On which I get to write my Very own story. That's why I keep going back and back, & back:-).   Place in the World

Slices of Lemon Sky

While there are a few interesting lines in this sunset picture, it is the seeming appearance of lemon slices in the cloud that really caught my eye.  Then again, maybe I am just a 'sucker' for all things cumulus?  Ha, ha.  Either way, my hope is that the imagery above has the ability to pucker up …

Spring Awakening in Two Dimensions

Looking outside our front windows this very moment is a bit depressing, I am not going to lie.  Even though it is the middle of April and 'spring has (supposedly) sprung', you would never know it here in the Great White North of western Canada as a lovely blanket of snow STILL covers the ground, …

Mama Humpback Whale Smiles… (no joke!)

One of the reasons that my husband and I chose to return to Maui so soon after our trip here last August was because of all of the buzz regarding the sighting of humpback whales in these protected waters from December through early April.  In fact, the lady that helped manage our condo last year …

Maui Sunrise

This sunrise picture was taken the other day just outside our condo here in Maui.  The four hour time difference from home wakes us up early enough to take in the first few glimpses of muted pink tones in the sky just above the neighbouring island of Lanai.  Now, add in a freshly brewed cup of …

More Than Just a Dodge Lancer

2017 Favorites This 1956 Dodge Lancer is significant not because of its antiquity, rather it is because of the meaning behind it.  After finding a near perfect replica of his very first car (the original being green and dark green), my dad jumped at the chance to purchase this gem of an automobile.  A lover …

Cliff Jumping

One of the allures in Wai'anapanapa State Park in Maui is the natural beauty of the black sand beaches mixed in with age-old lava rock, whose stories I am sure stretch well beyond the depths of the South Pacific waters.  As it turned out during our brief visit to the park, a group of twenty-something …

Cheeky or Catty?

I wonder if she's feeling a little Cheeky ... I'm thinking maybe so?!  After all, she's standing in front of her own heated house, with her very own Christmas stocking sporting a picture of herself.  If nothing else, I think it would be fair to say that she's a little bit spoiled, BUT she's worth it:-). …

White Silence

What opens without making a sound? Why flowers, of course! Such a unique opportunity to gain a glimpse inside this lilly's delicate, white petals, as they reveal themselves to the outside world for the first time ever! Serene

Maple Leaves

There's nothing Pedestrian at all about this shot, in my opinion. While some may view this pile of leaves as just another fall clean-up chore, they are nothing of the sort.   In colour and kind, these maple-shaped wonders are representive of the great country that I call home.  Cheers, Canada!
