Bright bushes
Monday 27 February 2012
I love these bushes. They stay green all winter, and in February explode with bright red new leaves. They look so festive and cheerful, all along my walk to school.

Vancouver Island
Friday 24 February 2012
It's got to be a pretty darn clear day to see to see Vancouver Island this well - normally it's far too cloudy/misty/foggy.

Enthusiastic lawn
Thursday 23 February 2012
This house, which is between the subway stop and my class, always has tons of lawn decorations up. I didn't even know anyone actually decorated for St. Patrick's day . . .

Waterfront property
Wednesday 22 February 2012
This is the tiny glimpse of water we can see from our apartment. It's not the amazing view that a lot of people here have, but to me it's astounding that we can see the water from our window. What a great apartment we have!

Old Ad
Monday 20 February 2012
A building was recently knocked down, revealing this well-preserved old movie ad.

Tubing!
Saturday 18 February 2012
Ryan's company paid for everyone to go tubing on Cypress mountain today. We very nearly didn't make it up the mountain (heavy snow + small car = trouble. Luckily we had our chains with us!) but it was a ton of fun once we got to the top.
Here's a photo of Ryan enjoying the speed, as we spin down the hill in two tubes, attached at the feet.

Thursday 16 February 2012
Well, not the official opening night, but the first night of previews anyway. Here we go!

I Love Kaitlin
Wednesday 15 February 2012
These went up all over downtown yesterday. The bottom says "Paid for by the guy that loves her so much and really hasn't shown it lately. Williamsburg."

Flower stop
Tuesday 14 February 2012
I passed by this flower shop on my way to the theater, and it was packed, almost comically so, with people buying bouquets on their way home.

Gels
Monday 13 February 2012
Went in to the theater for the focus (setting up and focusing the stage lights) - here's a picture of the gels (the plastic sheets that color the lights.)

At the Metro
Sunday 12 February 2012
Well, it's official: I have found some theater in Vancouver. I'll be operating a follow-spot for Fighting Chance Production's "The Mystery of Edwin Drood," a very funny musical based on Charles Dickens' unfinished novel. (Strange, I know.) Here's Mark, our lighting director, after a long load-in day.

Vancouver spring
Saturday 11 February 2012
The crocuses come up at the beginning of February here. It's nice, yes, but it also kinda makes me feel like we haven't truly earned spring.

City Soul
Friday 10 February 2012
Ryan's soul choir through the frosted glass at St. Andrew's Wesley, where they gave a Black History Month performance tonight. It was strange being at a Black History Month event where 99% of the people were not black, but I guess that's Canada!

Sulfur
Thursday 9 February 2012
Walking over a bridge today, I noticed that the train cars below me were full of sulfur. It is mined here in BC and shipped all over the world, I think mostly for fertilizer. On the shores of North Vancouver you can always see bright yellow mountains of it. Standing right over this much of it, I was surprised that it didn't smell at all.

Front yard totem
Wednesday 8 February 2012
Yep, just a totem pole in someone's front yard. Makes the fountain in our courtyard seem a little tame in comparison.

More fog
Monday 6 February 2012
More strange fog rolled in tonight. (Well, strange for me anyway. Perhaps to West Coasters used to living on the sea this is all just white bread.)

Fog day
Saturday 4 February
Strangest weather today. Fog rolled in on a sunny day. Kinda rolled in and out all day. But with the sun above, the fog was bright white. I went upstairs to the 27th floor, and it was so thick you couldn't even see the buildings next door, let alone the bay. And it was so bright, it felt like the building was floating in a pure white heaven.

Ugh, boots!
Friday 3 February 2012
Boots and leggings are all the rage this year. I look around, and every single woman is wearing boots. At the small college where I attend math classes, I'm pretty sure I'm the only woman not wearing boots and yoga pants. I like boots, but seeing every single woman wearing them makes me never want to own a pair.

When class is over
Thursday 2 February 2012
When I step outside of my math classroom, this is what I see. A year later, I am still amazed by British Columbia.

Neon Cabbage
Wednesday 1 February 2012
I took a photo of a decorative cabbage plant, and it turned out a little flat and boring. So, fun Picassa settings!
