Photo a Day – 2011

Day 345 – It’s all a blur…

Where did it go? The year, I mean! I just can’t quite believe that the end is almost here. Don’t get me wrong, it’s been a fabulous year! I finally landed the position I’ve been wanting for the past five years, the motorcycle season saw me put close to 13,000km on the bike (and a couple of thousand on the…

Day 344 – Something Simple

I love cucumber. It is such a simple and fresh flavour and it pairs so well with tomatoes and feta. I’ll happily munch away on a chunk of cucumber anytime.

Day 343 – Burrard Yacht Club Festival of Lights (Carol Ships)

The Carol Ships used to be a huge event over a few weeks and many, many boats joined in. Over the years the numbers have dwindled and the sailings have become fewer and fewer. I’m not sure why, it probably had something to do with liability issues and the fact that the organizers of the event started to charge fees.…

Day 341 – BC Parliament at Christmas

The BC Provincial Parliament building in Victoria BC lit up for the season. I am spending a few days in Victoria for a fish related conference.

Just a few jars of seeds that live in the kitchen cupboard. Another last minute shot since I spent most of the day trying to get caught up on all the marking.

Day 337 – Rescued

I came home on Friday and drove into our underground parking. As I waited for the gate to rise I looked over at the garbage area and there, next to the bin, was this gorgeous orchid plant in full bloom, with a massive flower set on it. I parked and rushed back out to rescue it from the freezing cold.…

Day 336 – Friday Food

Long day today. On the first ferry this morning, meeting in Parksville, then another ferry ride home. Nothing better to end the week than a plate of Taylor’s Butter Chicken. I could probably eat this stuff everyday and be happy It’s a crappy shot, but I’m tired and even though the photo sucks, the taste is amazing!!
