34/366 – Sails

February 4th, 2012 – The sails at Canada Place in Vancouver’s Inner Harbour always look so fabulous against a clear blue sky. It was such a gorgeous day that I made an effort to try and get out, at least for a little bit, to enjoy the sun and warmth. At this time of year you have to really appreciate…

18/366 – Snow Lion

January 18, 2012 – You’d think the end of the world was upon us in Vancouver with all the fear of winter.

When Mother Nature throws a stellar day at you at the end of November, and when that stellar weather coincides with your day off…. what else is there to do but go for a motorcycle ride?

Day 281 – Fish Fountain

281/365 (Oct 8, 2011) – All the years I’ve walked and driven through Gastown and I’d never noticed this fountain. And we’ve parked near it several times too. Or maybe I did see it but I was always on a mission and so it never really registered. But today I took the time to wander over and actually LOOK at…

Day 188 – University Club

188/365 (July 7, 2011) – When I started my new job I was happy to get a window desk, but disappointed to be around the corner from the other four support biologists, and they have a better view, they can see the water.

86/365 (March 27, 2011) – The forecast was for rain, but it held off long enough that we got out for a nice ride. Short, but still, any ride is a good ride.
