Park Guell

Posted on November 25, 2016 by If It Was Today

Sagrada Familia

Posted on November 22, 2016 by If It Was Today

When Gaudi began work on the Sagrada Familia 1883, he knew he would never live to see its completion. Even today, there is still a decade of work to finish construction. The cathedral offers an imposing view, even though it … Continue reading →

A Rainy Monday in Barcelona

Posted on November 21, 2016 by If It Was Today

Pioneer Days

Posted on September 11, 2016 by If It Was Today

Sigh. So much for trying to post more often… I spent this weekend driving around a corner of southern Ontario just north of Lake Ontario. We lived here for a few years at the other end of my working life, … Continue reading →

The Sky Smiled

Posted on May 9, 2016 by If It Was Today

We were sitting on the deck, enjoying the lovely weather (and a glass of wine) on our recent trip to Vancouver. I looked up, and noticed a most unusual cloud formation. So of course, I took a picture. And then, … Continue reading →
