The famous gopher …

More accurately, I suppose I should say “The Famous Richardson’s Ground Squirrel.” Ever have one of those days that just make you smile? For most aspects of my life, today was a pretty normal day. I worked a 13 hour shift at my day job, a shift that felt about twice as long, lol. But [...]

Fireworks over Medicine Hat

I found a spot in the park just down from the light industrial area, just off South West Drive (thanks Lacy for the tip on location … awesome spot!!! Check out 50.018622, -110.700957 in Google Maps to see my exact location for these, and I’ll be putting them on the flickr map as well) to [...]

Sunsets and Blossoms … summer in Alberta

Not that I’ve had much time to enjoy it. I wanted to post a comment yesterday about the Summer Solstice … whether its the history, the astronomy, the time, the monuments, or any of the other fascinating aspects of the Solstice, the beginning of summer has been an important date to humans probably for [...]

This and that …

Haven’t been posting here much lately … work has been keeping me pretty busy and I haven’t really seen much thats inspired me to write (or rant if you prefer) in the last week or so. I’ve been out doing a little bit of photography, but even that has taken a backseat to the day [...]

Foley Loaded gets off both barrels

Well, the show is over and done with, and I’m pretty sure a good time was had by all. Overall I think crowd response was excellent, and the Esplanade is really a great room to perform in. There’s quite a different feeling between a comedy club stage, and a place like the Esplanade (a feeling [...]

Help choose my photo of the day

24 hours of flickr is now officially over, but we have until May 21st to post our contribution to the group. I’d like to make a decision earlier, but I am having some trouble figuring out which one I should use. So, I thought I’d ask for suggestions here. Click the picture on the left [...]

Life on Earth … the gallery

I’ll be heading out to try and capture my own contribution to the cause at some point today, but I wanted to post a quick message pointing everyone towards the photo pool for 24 Hours of Flickr. Its already starting to fill up … at time of writing almost 300 people had already added their [...]
