although these sketchbook pages were done a couple years ago, the sky for a while today had a very similar look

seen from the bus

today I remembered a summer photo that reminds me, ever so slightly, of both snowflake shapes and lace dollies

for how long?

Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. They are engines of change, windows on the world, lighthouses erected in the sea of time.
- Barbara W. Tuchman

canada line construction

I don't understand how in a community aware city like Vancouver, the merchants of Cambie Street are given no compensation as the Canada Line construction continues to make hardships for their businesses. It really seems unfair.

I support the Cambie Street merchants.
