MY BACKGROUND PHOTO - IS SUNWAPTA FALLS - south of Jasper, Alberta in the Canadian Rockies.

I TOOK THIS PHOTO ON ONE OF MY MANY VISITS TO JASPER TO VISIT MY SONS WHO, FOR A TIME, LIVED THERE. It is a favourite spot of mine, as is Mt. Edith Cavell.

Some ask me what kind of camera I use so here is some information: I have a Minolta SLR but now use only my digital cameras:

I love my Fuji FinePix S602Zoom http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/FujiS602Z/

I also really like my small Canon PowerShot SD750 http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-cameras/canon-powershot-sd750-silver/4505-6501_7-32314640.html

Now I have a new 10x zoom Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3S http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-cameras/panasonic-lumix-dmc-tz3s/4505-6501_7-32332747.html

I would like a Canon PowerShot S5 IS http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-cameras/canon-powershot-s5-is/4505-6501_7-32441341.html

It's Christmas and Mother Nature is suffering PMS and making life miserable for so many. My hearts go out to those who are stranded due to the recent weather problems.



Photobucket

I grew up in Toronto, Ontario (Canada)
I've traveled to every province and state and in total over 32 countries and will be about 10 more within next few months. Traveling and photography are passions!
I've lived in the 'burbs of New York City; Vermont; Rhode Island and S-W Florida..
I am presently married and living in western Canada (home of the Rocky Mountains and spectacular scenery)
I love cats and dogs and kids!
I am "supposedly" retired but working "a lot" on a couple of projects and plan events/conventions.
I LOVE TO TRAVEL !!!

For me - this says it all:

Wander-Thirst

ALL the credit for this masterpiece goes to Gerald Gould

Beyond the east the sunrise; Beyond the west the sea
And East and West the Wander-Thirst that will not let me be;
It works in me like madness to bid me say goodbye,
For the seas call, and the stars call, and oh! The call of the sky!

I know not where the white road runs, nor what the blue hills are,
But a man can have the sun for friend, and for his guide, a star;
And there’s no end to voyaging when once the voice is heard,
For the rivers call, and the road calls, and oh! The call of a bird!

Yonder the long horizon lies, and there by night and day
The old ships draw to home again, the young ships sail away
And come I may, but go I must, and if men ask you why,
You may put the blame on the stars and the sun,
And the white road and the sky.

Travel, kids, dogs and taking photos!

YES - I HAVE BEEN TO ALL THOSE PLACES IN THE PHOTOS!
(AND MANY MORE NOT YET POSTED.)
Below are a few photos from last weeks 3-wk trip to Europe and our river cruise from Paris to Budapest.

Hello.  Hope you had a great welcome to the New Year!  It is for sure the first of January, and it is -29C out there, so I am keeping nice and warm INSIDE!!  We will now have a few dark and dreary days ahead.  It makes us LOVE  sunshine lol.



 


Had a really nice New Year - quiet New Year's Eve, with my cousin and her hubby coming over.  New Year's day my son, daughter and their families arrived, and we had a great time.  That is, FOR SURE, the way to start the New Year.



 


I am tired today, so taking it easy, even THOUGH I have on my runners! lol



 


I hope you have a great day!
