This photo was taken yesterday at Eve’s Park in the Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island, of my sister, our two best friends growing up, their children, and myself. We have all known each other since we were 4 years old and the children are the next generation of best friends in the making. It’s not often that we are all together in one place, so the event had to be documented!

When I still lived smack downtown Vancouver, occasionally this would be the view from my window.

This photo was taken on my 2009 visit to Quebec’s Ice Hotel. Sleeping in the ice hotel was an amazing experience! If you have the opportunity to do this, I highly recommend it! Details here: http://www.icehotel-canada.com.

This was my last day in Bali. On my way to the airport, we made a quick stop in Kuta on the beach, where I saw these two dogs playing in the water, playing chase.

We spotted this red footed booby on Halfmoon Caye in Belize, while stopping for a lunch break after visiting the Blue Hole. The Red-footed Booby is the smallest of all boobies at about 70 centimetres (28 in) in length and with a wingspan of up to 1 metre (3.3 ft). It has red legs, and its bill and throat pouch are coloured pink and blue.

Cyndi Lauper played at the 100th Anniversary of the PNE this year promoting her recent Grammy nominated blues album, Memphis Blues. Of course she included several of the old favourites as well, including True Colors and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. Awesome show, and amazing to see one of the great musical artists from my earlier years!
