Park Bench

This is the park bench at the church across the street. I sometimes sit there with my coffee and watch the parents coming and going to pick up their chidren from daycare. It always brings a smile to my face to see them having such fun.

Spring Bouquet

A lovely spring bouquet outside one of our local flower shops.

Train Track

Every time I walk across the railroad tracks, it reminds me of being a kid and going to the grain elevator where my grandpa worked. We would spend hours playing on the tracks and crawling underneath the trains. Completely dangerous, but fun just the same.

Cherry Trees.

Spring is not complete without at least one shot of the cherry trees in bloom. I love the colours this time of year.

Easter Lily

Easter Lillies are so beautiful and almost do not look real. I loved the way the rain drops collected on this one.

Just in case you aren't aware, if you click on the picture, it enlarges. :-)

New Signs for the Hood

Our neighborhood always looks really great, but this spring we got new signs to adorn all our streets. I think they are beautiful.

Umbrella.

I thought this umbrella was just too cute to pass up and the little girl that was hiding underneath it was just a darling.

Raindrops in the Puddle

We have had only 40 hours of sunshine this month, so there are a lot of puddles around. I captured this yesterday as I was out for my walk.

Happy Accident

This photo was one of those "happy accidents". I just took the picture in the puddle, and the flash went off (which I didn't want). However, upon getting home and looking at the photo, I noted that the flash picked up on all the rain dropless in the puddle giving a "fairly-like" quality to the water.

Finns Fine Haberdashery

I have always loved the big door handles on this shop. It indicates the price point of the clothes inside. I have ventured in a couple of times, but unless I win the Lotto 649, I would never be able to afford anything.

The Eye

I love taking pictures of flowers. This one just seemed so bright and happy looking.

Arbutus corridor

There big beautiful trees line the greenspace, or the Arbutus corridor as it is called in our neighborhood. It is a beautiful place to walk and follow along the old railroad tracks.

Down to the Wood!

He finally did it! Shaved his head completely bald now. I think he is still beautiful (or handsome) whatever! Love you Neil! XO

Church Spire

This is the spire of a church in our neighborhood. I thought it was rather pretty with the perfect blue sky in the background. Spring was in the air!

Unique Park Bench

This is one of our unique park benches that we have in Kerrisdale.

Donna's Hands

Donna has the most beautiful, delicate hands. I just had to snap a photo after she painted her nails hot pink!

Tulips

In theprocess of taking this photo, I broke one of my red candle holders. You can see one in the photo, it's mate is in a thousand pieces in the garbage now. I'm not sure this is a good enough photo to warrant the tragedy of the loss.

Moss

I love the contrast of the soft green moss against the rough greyish bark. Contrary to popular belief, the moss was growing on the west side of this tree and not the north side. The whole tree is a splendid array of this lush greenness, but I couldn't get a good enough picture of the entire tree.

Rooftop

Here's another photo in my roof top theme. I love the way the light shines off the ice.

Morning Sunlight

I really like the way the sun streams through the fence. I tried to capture the twinkling of the frost on the boards, but I couldn't really catch it.

Fairy Town

I can imagine each of these little vent covers to be the home of some small creature, like a fairie or an elf. I bet they get up early, before the ice melts and slip and slide all over the roof.

Clock

This is a THE clock on our street. Many pictures have been taken of this - I'm sure much better than mine. I hope they remember to "spring it forward" on Sunday!

Abandoned Plant

I walk by this everyday as it is in the covered area in our parking lot. I think it does make an interesting photo.

Moi

I was told when I started this project by someone else who had done it, that you should take a photo of yourself once a month. So, here it is.

Crosby Fan

This is self-explanatory.

Pens fan

Donna sporting her new Pittsburgh hockey jersey. Now she can cheer for them in style.

Local Florist Shop

I love this building. It is located on our main street and has the most beautiful flower arrangements and potted plants.

Collage

I melded two photos together that I had taken. Kind of a neat effect.
