What Goes Up, Must Come Down...

I have decided to discontinue this blog. Taking pictures of Regina really gave me a new insight into my city and I loved the experience.

Thank you for everyone who stopped by and left comments. It was great to hear from you all and made me quite happy.

If you get a chance, take a look at the following Regina photo blog. It displays some great pictures and the photographer has a great eye. Enjoy!

Regina In Pictures

Pine Island Waterfall

Looking towards the Legislative building from Pine Island in Wascana Park.

An Angel Keeps Watch

Ghost Town

Scarth Street Mall & 11th Ave, looking like a Ghost Town around 7:25 this evening.

Bicycle

I love the leather bike seat and matching hand grips. The whole bike just caught my eye.

Row, Row, Row Your Boat...

Rowing practice on Wascana Lake. Wow, now I will be singing that song all night.

Pelicans

Pelicans on Wascana Lake. They kept swimming in the opposite direction every time I tried to take a picture - they were camera teasers.

Over The Edge

The CEO of my company rappelling down the side of the Hill Tower II in support of Easter Seals.

*** Sorry for the lack of posts. I will try to start posting regularly again. Cheers!

China Town

A sign advertising Bubble Tea and Noodles in China Town, (corner of St. John's St. & 11th Ave).

I have yet to try Bubble Tea. Have you tried it? Would you recommend it?

Bowling Lanes

The old Nortown Bowling Lanes which have been empty and abandoned for many years.

One Big Happy Goose Family

Walking through the park you get to see all the baby geese. Some are still quite small and new; others are getting quite big and used to people. Any size, they are really cute - all yellow and fluffy.


Sorry for the lack of posting lately, I have lost my mojo. I am hoping to get my motivation back full time. Cheers!

Nesting

A robin and its nest.

Lamborghini Break Down

It is not often that you see this type of break down in Regina.

Cathedral Village Arts Festival

The six-day festival features performing, visual and literary arts, crafts and performances. It offers professional artists the opportunity to present their work to new audiences; emerging artists a venue to introduce themselves; and avant-garde artists a supportive arena to share their talents. The Festival invites children, youth and adults to create, participate and enjoy the arts in all of its diversity.

Now entering its 17th year, the Festival attracts upwards of 35,000 audience members, one of the largest in Saskatchewan.
