The Wildest Rose
My little daughter has so much energy.
Jade’s my wild flower.
She’s the wildest rose.
Painting Quirky Colour Lines
Sometimes Jade likes to make different brush marks all over the page.
I love this approach — especially when she uses different colours.
It’s always interesting to photograph different sections. Below are some examples:
Naturally Curly Hair
I used to have a lot … now … not so much.
My wife is Asian and has long, beautiful straight hair.
The question is still out there … Will Jade keep her curls?
Jade is over 3 and she hasn’t had her hair cut yet.
My wife doesn’t want to part with those cute baby curls (photo below).
Personally, I think Jade will keep some wave.
If her hair dries naturally, the curl will come out.
Otherwise, the blow drier will flatten it out.
My wife doesn’t believe me. But then again, she never does (haha).
Tofino Storm
One day, I’ll see the stormy waves along the coast of Vancouver Island. One day …
Leaf Weaving
Creating a “rainbow” blend of leaves along our fence (inspired by Andy Goldsworthy).
1. Sorting our leaves.
2. Stacking and “blending” the colour.
3. The pile is organized to create “rainbow” blend.
4. Leaves are put on the fence (background).
5. A detail of the colourful leaves on the wire fence.
All My Heart
With all my heart, I love you Jade.

Late Summer Bouquet
It’s cool in the air and very beautiful outside.
Listen To Your Fire
Your heart has a voice. Listen.
Soft Breeze
I scribbled the crayons on newsprint and Jade splashed the colour.
Summer Sprinkler
Today was VERY HOT … And Jade LOVED the sprinkler!
