Happy Thoughts

How to not grow creeping charlie

I've always thought growing grass was a terrible idea. As a kid I was pretty practical and I didn't see any benefit to having a green lawn full. I was also pretty well aware of the amount of effort required to maintain the lawn at home growing up since the mower was often my job. I hated mowing it and my parents weren't even really big lawn freaks. We had weeds and dandelions and bare patches. I always marveled at the crazy amount of time and effort our neighbours across the street wasted on keeping their yard green and presentable.

Now I've grown up and I feel pretty much the same way. It might not make my neighbours happy but at least I didn't follow through with my plan to pave it and paint it green. As a child I assumed the problem was that people wanted a large green square in front of their homes and concrete seemed to be a very practical solution to that problem.

A Day in Vancouver

No time to write, just some of my favourite pictures from yesterday around the city (click for bigger of course).


An Awesome Photostream

I like prolific people. People who do things. When people produce it becomes easy to see the talents they have. Candace has an awesome photostream. Maybe I'm biased because I know more of the story behind some of these pictures, but I believe they can stand without context as just being beautiful pictures. Or sometimes pictures of beautiful things. Just life - framed well. Here are a few of my favourites.
