The Urban Series*

January 10, 2012

*I stole this title from a flickr friend who commented,”Terrific Urban Series” on my photos. That sounds SO fancy! So yes, this is my urban series. It’s like I just started art school or something. Also, thank you, Gemma Geluz. There was still some light left tonight as I left the office around 5:00. I [...]

Rainy day photos

January 3, 2012

I hadn’t planned on going to Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Gardens today, but when I had the opportunity to re-submit my photo for this month’s calendar, I jumped at the chance. I didn’t realize until after I sent in my photo that Chinese New Year is THIS month. It’s early this year. I thought I’d get [...]

Advent Day 22 – Safe at the Solstice

December 22, 2011

We last saw the whole team making a quick get away from the violent potato gang… Dave: Woohoo! Take that, you bully spuds! Carol: Yah! See you later, taters! Mike: Phew! that was close. Thank goodness for Oscar and Donner. I know we complain about their sharp nails, but I’ll never complain again. Editor’s note: [...]

Downtown

November 25, 2011

One good thing about the sunrise happening late in the morning is that I’m actually awake to see it happening. I could not believe it when I got off the bus this morning. It wasn’t raining. I could see the sun. It was mostly dry and warm. The buildings were sparkling and everything. I stopped [...]

A frosty morning

November 15, 2011

I think it’s snowing in other parts of Canada, where they are getting some freezing weather and snow. We have 2 degrees above zero and frost in the yard this morning! Incredible! It’s totally winter around here now – with frozen bits and everything.

Any port in a storm

November 12, 2011

I dropped Mike off for work today at the crack of dawn – he got to the office at about 8:15 this morning. That’s the crack of dawn for me because I had the day off and because the sun was barely shining. It was cloudy and rainy downtown this A.M., but I took my [...]

“Works of Art”

October 30, 2011

“Are you okay, pumpkin?” “No. I’m sad” Why is this pumpkin so sad? a) It’s rainy and cold out b) He was called a “work of art” in quotes c) It’s 9 am on a rainy Sunday morning in the innercity. Of course he’s sad. I saw a great big jack-o-lantern display on one of [...]

Starting early

October 27, 2011

I guess I need to have my camera ready for Halloween action sooner than I thought. I caught this witch out the corner of my eye while waiting for the bus home TODAY! This witch must be a keener or maybe she dresses like this every day? Speaking of the bus, I’ll be thinking twice [...]

“‘Tis one thing to be tempted, another thing to fall” – W. Shakespeare

October 24, 2011

One thing I’ve learned since living in Vancouver – when you get a sunny day in October and you get the chance to walk over the Burrard Street Bridge, you put on your walking shoes and take that stroll. That’s exactly what I did. I had an employer meeting this afternoon over in the LuLu [...]

Signs, signs, everywhere are tents!

October 20, 2011

I took my camera out on my lunch hour today and headed over to the Occupy Vancouver Tent City on the Georgia side of the Vancouver Art Gallery. To be honest, I haven’t kept up too much with the Occupy Vancouver stuff. I’m not clear on all the things being protested, although I get the [...]
