Picture Me Wednesday - 2011 Week 20

Do you write in your books?

I like to record information.

Who? What? Where? When?
I like to cover all the bases.
I guess where my books originate from are no exception in my 'must record information' mind.

When a book comes from a special place, from a special someone, or from a special moment in history, I like to record it all down in its margins.

Photo taken @ York, England.

I'm the graduate this afternoon!
I've waited a long, long time... but finally *today* is the day.
Yayy!

Sometimes it's the little things that make you laugh.

Picture Me Wednesday - 2011 Week 13

As you may know, I've been in the UK for awhile now. Due to differences in power wattage (and not wanting to fry my electronic devices), I haven't been able to upload photos. But, I'll soon be trading the Atlantic Ocean for my hometown waters of the Pacific (pictured here). This photo reminds me of my oh-so-far-away home.

Picture Me Wednesday - 2011 Week 12

When I stumbled across this scene a few months ago I knew I had to take a picture. Torrential rains, the city lit up, and a fountain glowing nearby... BC.

And, I must say, so much different from where I currently am stationed... warm, sunny, and cheery England at Spring.

Picture Me Wednesday - 2011 Week 11

This picture pretty much sums it up: I love Coach... and love... and handwritten letters. I received this handbag as a present a few months ago and had to add the 'love letter' accessory. It may be a bit hard to see, but the white rectangle behind the 'love' is a model of a letter's envelop.

Just looking at this handbag makes me smile :)

Picture Me Wednesday - 2011 Week 10

This cafe is way too cute.

A little known personal fact?
I'm addicted to pickles.

Picture Me Wednesday - 2011 Week 9

Flashbacks of photos from last week?
That's because these photos were captured at the same time and depict flowers from the same bouquet.
What can I say?
I love, l-o-v-e, love the texture on these gerberas!

Picture Me Wednesday - 2011 Week 8

Bring on April!

Picture Me Wednesday - 2011 Week 7

The most bookish Picture Me Wednesday to date...

Last week I blogged about my love for Jojo Moyes The Last Letter from Your Lover which just so happens to not be sold in Canada or America. But, I had a special delivery sitting on the kitchen table when I came home from work this Monday. E, my wonderful Englishman, seems to have read my blog and promptly sent me a copy of my new favourite book. I am so delighted that I can now add this book to my 'real life' bookshelf!
Thanks so much, E!

Picture Me Wednesday - 2011 Week 6

As I was walking around the city a few weeks ago I stumbled across this fountain. I'm not even sure what the story behind this artwork is... but it looked so beautiful as the sun highlighted its golden elements and cascading water that I had to take a photo.
Enjoy!

Picture Me Wednesday - 2011 Week 5

I'm an eh-speaking, all-around Canadian girl who loves her national sport.


These are my 'boys in blue.' This was taken during the last game I attended in January 2011. Recent Canuck news? We're still holding number one position in the ranks and Luongo (our goalie and my favourite player) just scored his 300th win. Bring on the playoffs!

Picture Me Wednesday - 2011 Week 4

I'm stuck in the throws of crazy-a** weather. Last weekend was comprised of removing snow from the drive. Today my Province is scheduled to have 'hurricane-force winds.' But, this picture taken only a few weeks ago reminds me that we're on the verge of Spring... bring on the sun instead of snow! It's March!

Picture Me Wednesday - 2011 Week 3

Long, long overdue... but alas, week 3 of Picture Me Wednesday!

The parliament buildings in Victoria.

This week I'm picturing one of my favourite areas in BC. Every night the buildings' silhouettes are outlined in golden lights. Me and E visited this spot earlier this February for a mini-getaway. I absolutely love this city!

Picture Me Wednesday - 2011 Week 1

You can find some of the most gorgeous views of B.C.'s snow covered mountains on crisp January mornings. I stumbled across this panorama during a recent drive to the countryside and had no choice but to stop and take a photo.

Picture Me Wednesday - 2010 In Review

This week I searched my photo archive for a picture that summed up my experience of 2010. I couldn't find just one. Instead, I've created a top five list of photos that illustrate some of the finer (and memorable) points of the year.

Picture Me Wednesday - 2010 Week 5

Last week I went to a Carrie Underwood concert. I must admit that I am not a country music fan.

However:
1. I do love American Idol and a lot of Carrie's music.
2. I have a friend who is addicted to country music.

And...
3. I was able to score front row, side of the stage tickets.

How could I say no?
