I haven’t taken too many photos this week, aside from ones with the phone. I did, however, download a new app for my phone that changes existing photos. Called “Tinyplanet” it takes a photo and wraps it around in a circle to make a, you guessed it, planet. I took a photo of the Pacific Grace that I took at sunset on Moorea, French Polynesia, and tinyplanet-ized it. The result is kind of fun!

I’m a little late on getting this up… I was in Vancouver for a couple days during the week. One thing I can say for sure, however: we have more of these blossoms here in Victoria than they do in Vancouver!

I don’t think I have ever seen these particular powerlines without a collection of pigeons. The other day, I counted over three dozen of them. I wonder what the big draw is?

In November, when Jen and I travelled to San Francisco for a week, we made a point of finding out about some of the unique boutiques and cafes there that we wanted to visit. Inevitably wandering streets of shops looking for the one you came to fine will lead to other exciting discoveries. Down in the Mission District was just one of those “goldmine” areas. We found a little stationary/art shop that was selling, amongst other things, the papercut art of Nikki McClure from Washington state. I came home with her 2011 calendar and now I get to look at these beautiful images every month.

The Day the Snow Fell
Three days later, it is still here.

I love interesting graffiti. This is the side of an abandoned house in North Park/Fernwood. It seems so whimsical and free with the birds in flight and then the “la la la” in the corner.

Homage to coffee. Its a wonderful thing.
(Points to anyone who can guess which Victoria coffee shops those are at – I’ll buy you a coffee! Hints: They are all downtown, with the exception of the top right (which was at my friend’s parent’s cabin, so that is a freebie) and the middle left, which was in Cadboro Bay… Guess away!)

In honour of a Facebook discussion of how much we would like to be sailing and in recognition of the fact that the Pacific Swift was on the front page of the Victoria Times-Colonist yesterday, I took this one last week of the Pacific Grace in drydock at Point Hope.
