Breakfast Consciousness
Oh, the places we’ll go …
Vancouver has a fun celebration about the joy of drawing called Vancouver Draw Down. Everyday there are online challenges and prompts. This was my image from the Day 1 Challenge.
Always Raining On Me
Well, we DO live in Vancouver …
Spirits Of The Forests
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
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!
Mr. Cloudy and Vancouver
It’s’s been very wet and rainy here in Vancouver lately.
Looks like Mr. Cloudy has lots of his friends in our sky.
Hopefully, little Little Miss Sunshine will be back soon.
Everyone’s a little cheerier when she’s around.
Sledding Full Speed Ahead !!!
Jade’s starting to love winter activities.
She’s especially loving her sled lately !!!
Wiggling Ice Skaters
Jade painted this at StrongStart before the holidays.
I’m the red skater and Jade is in gold.
I think we’re with the Canadian Olympic team (haha).
Jade really enjoyed skating with me earlier this month.
We’ll have to go again soon.
Snowflakes, Big Flakes, we all scream for Snowflakes !!! * * *
In Vancouver, people either scream with delight or frustration over the first snowfall.
Thankfully, there wasn’t much trouble in our area.
Make Like A Tree and “Leaf”
Almost all the leaves are gone … but this old guy refuses to “leaf”.
Recently, the weather has been amazing and we’ve had some amazing family-walks.
