Generational Journey with Bert & Ernie

Bert and Ernie / Retro Toy

Bert and Ernie / Drawing

Jade really enjoys the chemistry between Bert and Ernie.

Growing up, my wife was also a big fan and still loves drawing them.

It’s really cool when both parents and kids can compare and create their own fun memories.

For example, my wife still has her Sesame Street building from her childhood (photo above).

Jade loves playing with it just as much as we do (haha).

Spirits Of The Forests

Emily Carr Style Drawing

In British Columbia, there are amazing First Nation’s Totem Poles.

Jade loves looking at the figures and imagining their connections.

I created an Emily Carr inspired image for Jade (above).

The Anthropology Museum in Vancouver hosts many amazing artworks (below).

The Mesmerizing Northern Lights

A hint of Arctic air.

It was chilly in Vancouver today.

I was telling Jade about the beauty of the Northern Lights.

I grew up in the Canadian prairies and we’d see them often.

The Northern Lights dance, glow and shimmer across the dark sky.

The Canadian winter brings many moments of creative beauty.

Yesterday, during a family walk, I photographed some ice.

Always appreciate the simple beauty around you.

Realities of Raincouver

Raincouver

In Vancouver it rains … a lot … and then some.

Rain gear is essential.

Vancouver’s #1 rule; always have an umbrella.

And if you have a 3 year old — don’t  forget the rubber boots!

Recently, the weather has been amazing and we’ve had some amazing family-walks.
