Stanley Park Photowalk
This past week has been great for skiing, unfortunately, I have not gotten to enjoy any of it =( I don't think I have actually been this sick in 3 or 4 years. I am on the mend and today my friend Jenny came downtown to Stanley Park to visit Tyler and I, and to see and to take pictures of the Herons nesting in Stanley Park. If you have never seen the Herons nesting in Stanley Park I highly recommend it, as it is very interesting to see from the months of March to May. Later in the season the baby herons are around but as the trees get their leaves the view of the nests slowly become more and more obstructed. Today, the sun was hidden behind dense clouds so the Herons are silhouetted, which I think looks kind of neat. I really like this picture Tyler took last … Continue Reading »
Patio Garden – Spring 2010
I have always loved plants and flowers and have gotten a lot of joy out of growing plants around the house and on my patio. I don't care for the 'cluttered plant' look and enjoy just a couple of pots with colored flowers to brighten up our balcony. I have been really sick with a cold and was feeling slightly better today and took some time to play around more with the Canon Rebel XSi. This Spring I had planted crocuses-tulip hybrid bulbs in the fall in our small hanging planter and arranged some sand dollars and shells we had found on various vacations in the planter. Unfortunately, I found out that outdoor exposure has ruined the sand dollars and turned them brownish/green. Also, I had planted daffodil bulbs this past Fall in the other pot; they have already bloomed and I replaced them with colorful Primulas. Of course, white lights to put … Continue Reading »
What have I been up to?
It has been quite some time since I have done a blog post! I have been so busy and when I feel stressed out the last thing I feel like doing is writing. The past few months for me have been a transition period; on the job front, I have made a major decision to leave my current work place and go to a new job at British Columbia Children's Hospital in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, which I will start in April. I have been feeling burnt out in my current job for quite some time and have decided to follow the original reason I went to nursing school, which was to work in Pediatrics. However, I am very, very sad to leave all of my amazing coworkers and friends at Vancouver General Hospital. I am still going to continue to work at Vancouver General on … Continue Reading »
Ladies Road Tripping through Oregon and Washington
I have just gotten back home to Vancouver a couple of days ago with my friend Kathleen from our Ladies Oregon Road Trip. We had a great time with lot's of adventures and stories on our travels throughout Washington and Oregon States.
