I’m on a quest for colour lately. The nightly news tallies up the days of rain we’ve had and people post shots of the sun in the rare moments it pokes through the grey. On rising the other day, we could see the promise of clear skies out towards the Rutherford, so we packed up … Continue reading Grey Days
I just found out that Pemberton physiotherapist (formerly of Local Motion, and now of her home-based Tall Poppy Therapy), Vicki Powell, went to the rival high school to mine.

Gary and I worked together for 4 years at Origin Design - I did words, he did design. We had a running banter about what was most important. Today, he wins. No words needed.
Shayla Wallace captured this image from one of the look-out points in Mount Currie. The girl made the rain look beautiful (see her amazing fall image that was recently featured on Global TV), but I think, because that 40 day stretch of soggy precip has broken, that today's image makes me particularly happy. Hello snow! Keep … Continue reading Well, hello winter. Shayla Wallace’s photo today is pure wonderland
