Travel Theme: Beaches

Posted on May 12, 2013 by Photos With Finesse

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.

Posted on March 4, 2013 by Photos With Finesse

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: Multiples

Posted on January 5, 2013 by Photos With Finesse

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 →

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

Posted on October 14, 2012 by Photos With Finesse

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

Posted on October 3, 2012 by Photos With Finesse

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 →
