Well, it’s not actually a river. But the other day, as I walked down our driveway, the warm springlike weather had created a small river on our lane. The rivulets of water carved small channels as the water followed the destination chose for it by gravity, down the hill. The cheerful sound was musical and… Read more »

Pirate Adventures-The Magic of Childhood
I think every young boys’ imagination has been captured by pirates at some point or another, and my boys are no different. Imagine sailing the seas, following adventure whichever way the wind blows, while searching for treasure. Eyepatches, sword-fights, hooks for hands, and of course, treasure maps, it all makes for the best stories ever…. Read more »
The Magic of Childhood-Superhero Edition
Whether it’s shooting webs and swinging from building to building, or flying high up in the clouds as the Man of Steel, it’s no wonder Superheroes capture the imagination of both the young, and young at heart. My son, like many other children, is fascinated by Superheroes. He loves them all. Iron Man, The Hulk,… Read more »
Love is in the Air-Our Epic Valentines Card Creations
I got the idea to create my kids’ Valentines Cards that they hand out to their friends after reading a Blog post last year on SLR Lounge. I’m certainly not the only Mom to make their kids’ Valentines. I just love seeing all the creativity out there of parents and their children, that comes to… Read more »
Action Photography Captures from Sunday Funday
I’m a bit behind on my blogging, as it’s been a busy past few weeks. Several evenings of Hockey Portraits for the Pond Hockey League in Black Diamond, volunteer responsibilities, helping with the kids at school, and a suddenly, albeit briefly, sick boy have kept me hopping. So on Sunday, the gorgeous temperatures meant it… Read more »

As this is my first blog of the New Year, I wish everyone the very best for 2015! I’ve decided to step up my game this year, and attempt a 365 project-daily shooting. I already shoot a lot of course, but as we all know, more practice equals improved skill. I’ll be sharing the best… Read more »
Frogs and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails
Here’s a little throwback from last summer, at about this time, of my two boys. We had recently watched “Dennis the Menace” ( the 1993 Movie starring Mason Gamble, and Walter Mattheu), and I loved how Dennis’s wagon was filled with all of his “little boy” stuff. I don’t usually go overboard on props, but… Read more »
Hike at Brown-Lowery Park
Yesterday the boys and I needed a summer outing. Inspired by the Facebook page “Taking a Hike with Your Children” (I still need to buy the book), I’ve decided to set a goal of one hike per week for the kids and I, for the rest of the summer. I thought we’d best start small,… Read more »
Perspectives
Just a little photo share today, of my son David, blowing dandelion fuzz in the field at my home studio, near Millarville. Although we as adults have been geared to hate dandelions, the sunny yellow flowers, and now the puffy magical seeds are irresistible for kids. My kids have been picking me dandelion bouquets for… Read more »

Friday was the first glorious day of summer we’d had in quite awhile. The first warm, sunny day after a long week of rain and downpours. And we were super excited to enjoy our outing in the sun. The fabulous moms and kids of Millarville Playgroup met at Heritage Park, in Calgary for our year… Read more »
