Travel Theme: The Four Elements
Earth, Air, Water and Fire – the challenge of Ailsa’s Travel Theme this week. All but fire feature prominently in my collections – but I do have those too! Earth – Haleakala Crater in Maui – always leaves me with … Continue reading

Travel Theme: Beaches
How could I resist Ailsa’s travel theme this week? Beaches have to rank pretty highly on my list of all-time favourite places. I consider myself fortunate to say my ‘life’s a beach‘ – despite having ended up in land locked Calgary! Born in rugged Cornwall, … Continue reading

Winter can be beautiful – mini road trip.
I get restless this time of year. Calgary is known for it’s Chinooks – warming winds which can make winter snow disappear and leave ‘blah browns’ around for another 3 months. (Sadly, no matter how mild the winter, the green … Continue reading

Travel Theme: Glass
Ailsa’s inspiration for a blog this week presents us with the theme of glass. I’m a huge fan. Whether it’s stained glass in churches, simple glass candle holders, or the incredible glass art sculptures from the likes of Dale Chihuly, vacations … Continue reading

Travel Theme: Multiples
This week’s travel theme focuses on ‘multiples’ – go forth and ‘multiply’, or find multiples to photograph. My mind immediately traveled to flowers – abundant fields of Tulips, bright groupings of Daisies, fragrant Plumeria, all of which I’ve captured endlessly over … Continue reading

Travel Theme: Couples (Wedding Photography)
Love this theme because it means I can showcase all the fabulous brides and grooms who have come my way. It’s also prompting me to write a bridal showcase blog that’s been on my mental to-do list for quite some … Continue reading
Weekly Travel Theme: On Display
Ailsa’s weekly travel theme triggered a trip through memory lane – cobblestoned sides streets, cheerful market stalls, colourful street vendors – a common theme throughout many of my travels. I’m mentally returning to Puerto Vallarta and Maui (the goofy shirts and … Continue reading
Weekly Travel Theme: Foliage
Ailsa’s weekly travel theme focuses on foliage this week. As Albertans only have about 5 months of foliage per year (May through September) if we’re lucky, we enjoy it while we can. I love fall foliage (just keep hitting next … Continue reading

This week’s travel theme is ‘white’, in honour of the 30th anniversary celebrating the UN’s International Day of Peace (Friday September 21st). Conceived of in 1981, it was first celebrated in 1982. I do like the idea of “strengthening the ideals … Continue reading

This is the first time I’ve participated in the Travel Theme blogs. I certainly get a lot of pleasure out of following several of them. As red is one of my favourite colours – to the point my car, older laptop … Continue reading
