Hmmm...

Look closely and perhaps you will see the wooden rocking chair. Every time I pass by this house I start singing "Home on the Range," but don't be fooled. This cozy cottage is snuggled in a neighborhood of apartment complexes and townhouses.
The purpose of taking the picture was to capture the reflection of the pink sunset. No, this isn't a volcano, just some odd cloud formations.

Vancouver - World Tour 2010

Trying to reach a city when the majority do not want to hear, it is a fresh breath to see 10,900 students raising their hands to the only One who matters in this world. I spent most of my time watching the students and asking for their hearts to be captivated and that they will be called to the ends of the earth. It was great or at least the half that I heard was. I volunteered so I didn't catch it all.

This is my shirt

The volunteers had a room at top. Some of them wore green shirts in addition to the orange.
We heard the sound check before volunteer orientation.It took place at the Rogers Arena. Go Canucks!!! (hockey)10,900 students attended, not including the 320 volunteers.

Autumn

Autumn is descending on us slowly. The foliage is definitely coloring the streets and walk ways, and keeping many people busy raking and blowing natures confetti into piles. The funnest thing of all, are the snow topped mountains. It was rainy for three days. It didn't get below freezing nor was it too cold. When the clouds cleared away, the mountains were white, where green was before.


I couldn't get a clear view on this last one. The tallest bridge with cables is the skytrain bridge, the orange is for cars, and the grey one, close to the water, is for cargo trains. The river is the Fraser River.

Halloween

This is the pumpkin display was at the mall. Aren't the giant pumpkins huge?! A lady I talked to there said that Halloween is one of the most celebrated holidays. I believe it. The Skytrain was full of people dressed in costumes Friday and Saturday. Most were a bit skimpy and I felt sorry for them, mainly because I had a coat on.

What is it?

This is a tree that is outside my balcony. It got my attention right away.
Later I found out that it is a Monkey Tail Tree. One home owner had a much smaller, Xmas trees sized one and had hung little stuffed monkeys in the tree. Sorry I didn't get a pic of it.
Driving should be the same as the US right? So what does this sign mean?I initially thought it was a house crossing, but it mean speed bumps. There is also another sign announcing speed bumps that is as equally confusing.

Scavanger hunt

This would be so much better if I were a photographer. I am just an accountant with a cheap digital from Walmart.
The fruit is definitely happier here.
The arms were added later and not part of the original carving.
Canada Place. Commonly named "the building that looks like sailboats" by the kind people giving us directions.
They probably don't say Jane Doe either.
Maybe I got on the wrong plane, but going through customs made it feel like I was in Canada.
Sign reads "4.99/lb." That's odd, everything else is sold by kg.
Olympic beacon. I thought it was gold tipped, but those are brass beacons for the fire. In other words, they can become flaming ice crystals.
Digital whale. I am thinking about making a replica out of Legos.
This is North Vancouver and a wandering Asian. You have to take the sea bus to get there. The sea bus is a little different than what I pictured in my head the first time I heard the name.
This was hanging from the ceiling of an office building. It was partly cloudy in Chile the day they made it.
I just love the variety of downtown.
Square building with a round roof.
This is the gassy clock. Ok, that isn't its real name, but the name does have gas in it.
It steams and plays music.
I really wanna go back and get this shirt.
Vancouver tour? It's lookin' a bit British to me.

Shannon Falls

We took a girls road trip to Squamish. That's a cool town name if you ask me.
Nature's water slide. The sharp pointy rocks at the bottom are just an added bonus!

Ahhh.... Nature. It makes me happy! :)
A living log cabin. A tight fit, but I think it would look lovely with just the right curtains.
Just think how big this leaf would be if it were from Texas.
