49/365 (February 18, 2010) – It was simply gorgeous yesterday so I made the time in the afternoon to get on the scooter and get out in it. The crocuses are out everywhere, in fact they are finishing, I almost missed them! I stopped off at the public gardens at Park & Tilford and the gardeners were hard at work…

48/365 (February 17, 2010) – I certainly don’t think so. It’s the warmest February in 114 years and although I certainly don’t mind having a sunny gorgeous day when I have to drive out to the Fraser Valley, I have to admit it makes me nervous about what is coming for boating season. Typically, when we have an El Nino…

47/365 (February 16, 2010) – We have a monkey off our back. Finally, Canada has taken a gold medal at home. Two in fact. In the meantime, I have loved the American male figure skater (Evan Lysacek – what a skate!), the Swiss downhill skiers, the Korean speed skaters…etc, etc, etc. I particularly loved the American bronze medalist in the…

46/365 (February 15, 2010) – The cats, always an easy fall back when I haven’t been out and haven’t had time to set anything up. They just never seem to appreciate being woken up… and yes, Milo sleeps in an ancient suitcase.

45/365 (February 14, 2010) – At the corner of Georgia and Howe streets in downtown Vancouver, this massive building wrap contains the rebuilding and rebranding of the former Hotel Georgia. Today, Canadiana is rampant in Vancouver, all Canadians are draped in their love of the flag because a young man finally won gold on home soil. Alexandre Bilodeau won gold…

44/365 (February 13, 2010) – The Olympic flame in Coal Harbour, Vancouver. No one knew who would light the cauldron. In the end, there were five former athletes who lit the indoor flame together. But the outdoor, public flame was lit by Canada’s darling, Wayne Gretzky. When Gretzky left BC Place in the back of a truck with the torch…

42/365 – I love puddle reflection shots. The problem is that there are usually rain drops falling in them that destroy the reflection. I as walking to the pub to meet a friend for a beer and was looking for something to inspire me as I was working at home all day today. I must have looked strange stopping to…

41/365 (February 10, 2010) – The Flame passed through our neighbourhood early this morning and is currently making the rounds of the North Shore. It came down Capilano Road, made a tour of the Squamish Reserve before popping out a block East, where there was another handoff, and then another on Marne Drive…. all within about a block of our…

40/365 (February 9, 2010) – It’s funny, so many aspects of my life are so digital and have been for ages. Photos are almost all digital, I ripped every CD i own to mp3 format and have downloaded thousands of music files. I am in the process of digitizing all of the remaining vinyl. I download movies, TV shows, and…
