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.

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.

I missed out on posting one last week, so I’m putting one up this week. Partially because I took this one in Edmonton last week and I’ve taken more photos since then that I can use this week. Partially because it is a picture I like. And partially because I don’t want to leave my whining post at the top any longer but I really haven’t anything else insightful to say at the moment.
