A fine spring-like day

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 desk, hopped the Canada Line to Yaletown and hoped to find some little seedlings sprouting. I didn’t find any, but I did find this mangy, pink, flower, though.

Snow report! Snow report!

Snow Report!

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 did this? No idea! Mystery! Kinda like that time someone left us big watermelons in the pumpkin patch. Those watermelons were delicious.

False alarm

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 snow in Coquitlam.” Heh. The things you overhear on public transit. That list is LLLLOOONNNNGGGGG…

The Urban Series*

*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 was so pleased with the last sliver of light, I got my camera out and took photos for about 15 minutes until the sun set.

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 [...]

Success!

October 31, 2011

We had another successful Halloween with the Sauriols. Many fireworks were had this year. I’ve got some fun photos to share…but my eye lids are heavy and I’m nearly asleep typing this. I’m a total Halloween lightweight suddenly. Oh well. There’s always next year.

“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 [...]

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 [...]
