I love the nightlife

February 16, 2012

In between tiny rainshowers tonight, I took photos on Georgia Street after work. I made my way home at a leisurely pace after dropping some books off at the library. Somehow I had accumulated 7 books over a period of a couple of weeks and had to drag them all back today. After that was [...]

Ice Ice Baby…

February 10, 2012

After work, I headed over to fancy pants Yaletown for the Illuminate festival. They have light art around the neighbourhood. I was a slacker today and only found the ice sculptures – there are other art pieces, but I didn’t bring an umbrella and it was a little rainy. Also, I had the Friday night [...]

A fine spring-like day

February 6, 2012

Spring is happening a bit earlier than I ever expected. At least, it sure feels like spring. The sun has been up before 8 am this week and then it’s been sunny. Chilly, but sunny! It looks like it’s going to last another day, but just in case it didn’t, I pried myself from my [...]

Blue skies

February 2, 2012

Good news! We had fluffy white clouds today with a side of baby blue sky. It was a great sight to behold. Also, I’ve been told it’s very near time to plant seeds. Perhaps I’ll get some sweet peas out this year. I missed the window of opportunity for that the last few years. We [...]

I love it when the dancing girls bust out the fans and the shiny costumes for the parade.

Welcome to the Water Dragon

January 29, 2012

Not only is the Year of the Dragon zodiac sign, but it’s the year of the Water Dragon. According to this website, this means the water will calm the dragon down, so that it’s not quite as tough as he usually is. Hooray! A friendly dragon? I’m in! I loved How To Train Your Dragon.

Snow report! Snow report!

January 18, 2012

I found the car decorated with a heart tonight after a lovely dinner with my buddy, Iris. I didn’t do this! Someone left this in the snow for us. I left it on the hood of the car as I took the car to go meet Mike. I wouldn’t dream of brushing that off. Who [...]

False alarm

January 17, 2012

We all waited with baited breath for the gigantic dump of snow scheduled to appear. It never arrived. However, at least one person’s boss thought there was a snow storm in Coquitlam today. There wasn’t one, but my co-worker overheard someone on the train this morning calling in late to work, “due to all the [...]

“Would you please take my photo with the snow?”

January 16, 2012

The snow came back for a short time in the city today. However, out in Mission, they are ROLLING in it. It’s crazy out in that way. We got some snow for a few hours, but it was gone by the time the work day was over.

Oh! What a beautiful morning!

January 11, 2012

This is the first sunset I’ve noticed in a very long time. I usually a) sleep through them or b) miss them because I take a bus that goes west. The sky was pink and blue when I left the house this morning, so I stopped and admired it. It passed quickly, though. The pinks [...]
