Our 2nd Anniversary Weekend

Two years ago, my parents and brother made their way to Vancouver for their first visit to Canada. The lovely occasion was for our wedding, on Dec 10th. I was still living an hr away from P at the time. If you'd like to see all of the wonderful wedding photos, check out my wedding post here.

Since our actual anniversary falls on this Monday, we decided to sort of celebrate it 2 days earlier. I'm a very practical person so I wanted to get P a gift. I was first hunting high and low for something that was sitting right under my nose. A few of these 2nd anniversary gifts really cracked me up though!

Here are a few of my favorites using Cotton.

If we only had a tree to hang up a hammock.

Cute Cotton Rose and Bear.

But I much prefer being outdoors, photographing and being free. This is how the evening started. We went down to Lonsdale Quay to watch the sunset, but it was freezing so we headed indoors quite quickly.

One of the beautiful shots before darkness and off to enjoy a wonderful dinner. I must say that Vancouver does have great sunsets if you are lucky enough to catch them.

Photo Hunt - Long

This weeks Photohunt Theme is Long

Long can be used with some many photos. My creativity isn't so high this week but this is what I came up with for you.

Long Line of Lights, even decorations of Christmas Lights from my morning walk.

Long sunsets produce incredible colors during my evening walk.

Happy Hunting - A busy weekend, but I'll do my best to pop in to your sites.

Wild Weather

Here in Vancouver, our weather has been odd. We had 2 days of snow followed by 100 plus mm of rain in one day. There's been flooding and lots of heaters to dry me and my wet clothing off. We are supposed to have a break in the storm now. Yeah!


- Everyone on the East coast is getting a break where they had lots of snow and many plane cancellations..

All is well as I hopefully bring my camera as I was scolded yesterday for missing a full rainbow.

Back to boiling water as I think there are murky waters around.. fun stuff!

Catching The Snow

It's sort of like catching a cold, but instead Vancouver Mainland caught Snow on Saturday. Reports all say rain today and the pineapple express tomorrow. Try 12 degrees and more rain.

I didn't get that many great shots because it was dark out and I didn't have a tripod with me, but here are a few snaps on our walk. As I recall last year, we had snow a few days earlier than this at our place, followed by blue skies.

Lots of snow around Lonsdale, North Vancouver.

Before the sun went down, the bus zooms by too.

A bit more snow everywhere.

Look I found Rudolph too.

News Flash

It's December 1st today. Canada is supposed to have a VERY cold winter everywhere thanks to La Nina. The talk is that Winter is already here even though it's 21 days away as a result of this weather.

In case you didn't realize, there are only 25 days until Christmas and 10 days until our 2nd wedding anniversary.

Now back to normal programming below for Photohunters.

I'm away enjoying an all day exam class.
