 I've finally turned aside to take pictures of this old barn . . . been meaning to do so for months.

Day 291

 What can I say . . . dark chocolate with chili is awesome!  Ditto for the sea salt.

 Old photo treatment to another "drivin' home" shot.  The moon was full and totally mesmerizing.

 Miss Chloe vegging on the couch . . . she is totally in the zone.

Day 286

 A bowl of "fruit" from Shannon's Chinese Lantern Plant.

Day 287

The things dads do for their girls . . . like climbing really tall ladders to hang stars in the vaulted foyer.  Thanks, Ken.  Alison and Shannon are tickled to finally have them up.

 Catching the last rays of the setting sun in the rear view mirror.

Day 277

 My daughter is in full-on decorating mode . . . I love this little wooden nativity set on the bookshelf.

Got a good giggle when I  figured out this vanity license plate . . . "Run, Forrest, run!"

Days 267-273

Outside one of my windows at work . . . some kind of creepy beautiful.

Whimsical sculpture at Holland Park, Surrey, BC.

Since falling back from Daylight Savings Time, my commute home after work is in the dark.  Just another 6 weeks and it will start staying lighter later.

Day 271

Thrift store find for my bathroom . . . gerbera daisies.

Day 272

Encouragement from nature . . . don't dispair, your change is coming.

Day 260

 Farmer First . . . fair trade, organic coffee roasted and packaged at Pistol & Burnes Coffee Roastery in Delta, BC.

Day 261

 I love these little fabric covered journals that I found at Chapters in the clearance section.  This little bundle of three was $5.00 . . . such a great deal.

Day 262

 These beauties were in the lineup three weeks ago but they just look so cheery in a week of rain, rain and more rain, that they earned a repeat performance.

Day 263

 When I came out of the bank after making the day's deposit, I was greeted by this stunning scene.  That's why my camera goes everywhere with me. 

Day 264

 My almost nightly mug of ginger lemon tea . . . real ginger, real lemon, spiked with cayenne and sweetened with honey.  A great ally in cold and flu season.

Day 265

 This tree with "spring green" foliage caught my eye on the way home.  

Day 266 

Green and blue . . . my favourite colour combo.
