Vancouver

Some people…

February 28, 2012

…really take the snowfall warnings seriously around these parts. A parka? In Vancouver? I think it’s calling for snow & rain tomorrow, so that really means we’ll have slush at the very, very, worst. None of it will stick, but it will be chilly and wet-cold. If Bennett still lived in the downstairs suite, his [...]

<=== Over There

February 27, 2012

This is the very scary “Ghost Sign” that had been accidentally preserved between two old buildings back in 1922. This is pretty old in the scheme of Vancouver’s history as it’s only been a city since 1862.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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.
