A Weed Can Also Be Someone Else’s Pretty Flower

A Weed is Someone Else's Pretty Flower

May 25, 2013 – I’ve been a bit delinquent with my 113 Challenge and am going back though photos I’ve taken since the year began to see what I’ve overlooked. I took some decent images on our road trip up to Prince George the other week, but in light of the circumstances surrounding the trip, I hadn’t even pulled them off that camera.

Somehow it lifted my mood to see that the first shot was a dandelion. I took this at the side of the road where we were stopped for construction.

Even a weed can be a bright spot …

20-52-2013: Long Weekend

May 19. 2013 – Welcome to the May long weekend. The sun is out today, and my calla lilies are in fine form in the pond. Actually most everything is. The yellow flag irises are blooming, the wisteria is draping itself around the fence, the azaleas are looking fabulous. It’s so nice to have sun on the May weekend, often it’s a tad gloomy, although the past two years we have started out wonderfully and then June descends into monsoons. Here’s hoping this year breaks the trend and we get more of this wonderful light.

I am also glad that …

18-52-2013: Sail Past Weekend

May 5, 2013 – What a weekend! I had Friday off so I used it to do some running around and make a quick trip down to the USA to pick up a parcel – all on the motorcycle of course. Friday night was a social function – steak dinner – at Burrard Yacht Club. With the bar open, I always wonder at the logic and sanity since Saturday morning is an early start to get Sail Past underway. We called it a relatively early night since I didn’t relish the thought of a hangover on the water in the …

17-52-2013: On Closer Inspection...

April 28, 2013 – Have you ever noticed how we often don’t see the things right in front of us? We are so busy looking at the magnitude of everything around us that we miss the tiny details sometimes. Like the absolutely minute seed pods on a bed of moss on the side of a big maple tree. You can’t miss the tree, but I bet you wouldn’t even think to look for the tiny little seed pod, no more than a couple of mm high, buried amongst the mossy green fur covering the side of the tree. Do you …

Chocolate or Vanilla?

'Tis the Season!

April 25, 2013 – Kirk came home with two boxes of Girl Guide Cookies. I know I love him, but I may also hate him. These darned cookies are my food weakness. I could devour an entire box in no time flat if given the opportunity. It takes incredible willpower for me to leave them alone.

Which do you prefer, chocolate or vanilla?

16-52-2013: Prepare for Launch

April 21, 2013 – A lone dandelion at the end of our driveway just waiting for the right breeze to spread its seeds and bring bright yellow flowers to a lawn near you.

We spent another day driving around the North Shore looking at townhouses. We came across two that were of interest. One will sell fast, of that we are sure since it backs onto a school and is in a great location. I’m sure that will be snapped up instantly be some young family. Another had a kitchen to die for and a strange room off the underground …

15-52-2013: Open House

April 14, 2013 – We spent the weekend looking at townhouses and duplexes and at the end of it all I am completely disheartened.

We want to move. It’s time. We’ve been in our condo for 19 years now. The problem is that our condo is simply fabulous. It’s bright, we get the afternoon/evening sun streaming into our living room and we have over 330 square feet of outdoor deck, garden and patio. We have a massive kitchen, a great sized bedroom, and a really open floor plan. Most people don’t believe it’s only 781 square feet because it feel …

14-52-2013: Inner Peace

April 7, 2013 – We critter sat for a neighbour for two weeks before the Easter weekend and as a gift she gave us a beautiful orchid. Since I needed a quick shot before heading out for dinner with friends, this was right there, and very pretty. I love the way the throat of an orchid just draws you in so deeply.

We spent the weekend trying to finish up some minor fix-ups to our condo – the final touches, and stained the deck a wonderful deep ebony colour. It came out so great. We are so close now to …

13-52-2013: Two of our favourite pastimes

March 31, 2013 – Does it get any better than this? Boats and bikes. Two of our favourite pastimes. My bike in the foreground, our boat is in the marina in the background.

This is my new ride. I was sad to see the SV go, I loved that bike, but my back didn’t. This was the first season I didn’t ride all winter long and when I got back on the SV I thought “Maybe I’ll keep it, it’s such a fabulous bike, so much fun to ride…”

Then we went for a ride and I needed a painkiller.…

12-52-2013: Standoff

March 24, 2013 – A local tropical bird store is up for sale and blowing out their parrot cages. I stumbled onto that fact on their website only because we are trying to spiff up our place to put it on the market sometime soon and really needed to get Gizmo out of the bedroom and also get rid of his ugly, but functional, tree in the living room. A bigger floor cage has been on the agenda for years, but the prices were just too high. So when they were suddenly half price!

We brought the cage home, assembled …

The Letter

The Letter

March 21, 2013 – I had a post partially written last night, but then something unexpected happened that sort of related to what I had been thinking about.

There are so many wonderful quotes out there and social networks like Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest are common landing grounds for many of them. Places where quotes are collected and shared according to the mood of the page owner. I’m no different, and sometimes a quote speaks to me, or irritates me. Yesterday I came across that old one “If you love someone set them free, if they come back to you

Window Shopping

Window Shopping

March 19th 2013 – Douglas Coupland wrote a book about Vancouver, it was quite a number of years back. City of Glass. It’s a great book, full of little snippets about the city. I took this a couple of weekends ago when it the weather was nicer. Downtown Vancouver really does sparkle in the sunshine, I love walking down here on a sunny day and looking up at all the windows, and wondering who is looking back.

We spent a lot of the weekend purging stuff out of the condo – got rid of a couple of pieces of furniture, …

March 17, 2013 – One of the things about looking at a new place to live is that one has to look equally critically at what one will have to sell in order to make the new purchase….

We aren’t listed, and although we have found a place we do really like, there are a few things that make us leery about it. It’s on the edge of a ravine and we live in a very wet climate. It also needs a LOT of renovations to make it what we would really want it to be. And we aren’t even …

Gastown’s Famous Electric Steam Clock

Gastown's Famous Electric Steam Clock

People around the world come to Vancouver, visit Gastown, and take pictures of the steam clock.

The clock was built in 1977 to cover a steam vent, but the steam damaged the clock parts fairly quickly and it was switched over to electricity.

When that made the news about 10 years ago there was outrage. It was rather funny, why does it make a difference? It’s a neat clock, but it wasn’t old to begin with. I wonder how many people still stop to take photos and think it runs only on steam.

Sun on Sails

Sun on Sails

March 10th 2013 – I took this last weekend, but it could have been taken yesterday too, the sun was out in full force most of the day.

The sails on the Vancouver Trade and Convention Centre at Canada Place in Coal Harbour, Vancouver are always eye catching. I love their sweeping lines, and the way they reach for the sky. They catch the sunshine positively glow, they are so white they can hurt your eyes when the sun shines on them. But the shadows they create are so wonderful. The deep sweeps of the roofline collect darkness and generate …

10-52-2013 – Bird’s Eye View

10-52-2013 - Bird's Eye View

March 9, 2013 – Yesterday was supposed to be my day off, but I had to work instead. My Manager scheduled a meeting and asked if I would mind. He was apologetic, but it’s not big deal. I get every second Friday off and I can just flip it to next Friday. Besides, by flipping it this means that I get the next four Fridays off since Easter also falls in there. So I’m OK with that.

And further to that “besides”, when I have to give up a day off but it involves a sunny day and float plane …

Birds on the Water

Birds on the Water

It’s a bird, it’s a plane! No, actually, it’s a Beaver! A de Havilland Beaver to be exact ;)

Canadian made, and in production until 1967 – yes, you read that right, 1967. The Canadian Centennial. The year of my birth. Planes built in the 1960′s are still in widespread use as commuter and bush planes all over North America. They are reliable, functional, and fabulously fun to get around in.

I love living on the coast, and I love living in a port city. Even more, I love that my work takes me to meetings on Vancouver Island and that …

Queen of Cowichan

Queen of Cowichan

The Queen of Cowichan on her route between Horseshoe Bay and Departure Bay. Taken from a float plane as I am heading over to Nanaimo for a meeting on Friday.

I love the flight on a good day. Even on a bad day it’s a nice trip.

Solitary Vessel

BC Ferry

The Duke Point ferry heading for Tsawwassen. I don’t often get to see the coast this way, less often this way on a day like this.

The funny thing is that I really could use the float planes more often if I chose, but more often than not I tend to choose to take one of these ferries. I don’t live far from the ferry terminal. And even though I have to get up obscenely early to catch the first crossing, I enjoy the peace of the 6:30 sailing. I also like the time it affords me to think and …

9-52-2013: Sunlight Changes Everything

March 3, 2013 – Wow! March already. Where did that time go? But it’s great, because it means the darker days are behind us. The miserable days will be fewer, and there will be more light. Daylight savings time comes into effect next week. It’s been miserable lately, but isn’t it just amazing how sunlight, even one day of it, can make all the difference in the world.

Attitudes lighten up, moods brighten up, things that might upset you on a rainy day don’t matter quite so much. People on the street look you in the eye, smile, and say …
