Project 365 Day 120

So in case you didn’t notice, I’m just a bit of a Canucks fan.
Therefore, (especially during the playoffs), several of my Project 3.6.5. Pictures will somehow feature my favourite hockey team. I’m not forcing anyone to view my blog so if you’re not a fan, you don’t have to read it. (But if you do read it, Welcome!)

I was lucky enough to get a new (Luongo) jersey at the game the other night, and when my nephews saw today that it matched theirs, they would not let me take it off. (Seriously, I was hot and took it off for a few minutes and Nolan ran and got it and made me put it back on).
So I (quite willingly, actually) wore it to the park with them today. Because today is a game day, we saw several other people wearing Canucks gear as well, and believe me, the boys definitely noticed.

Today’s Project 3.6.5. Picture was taken when Nolan noticed a guy riding by on his bike with a (Burrows) jersey. He was so excited and the guy on his bike stopped to chat for a few minutes. Now everywhere we go, the boys are pointing to strangers on the street that are donning any Canucks logo and getting very excited that these strangers are smiling and high-fiving them!

Go Canucks Go!!!

Project 365 Day 118

This was posted yesterday, but for some reason it didn't work.
Anyway... I was at the Canucks game last night and took this Project 3.6.5. Picture of this kid and his awesome Luongo sign.
Btw: we won the game last night! Just 11 more wins needed! Go Canucks Go!!!

Project 365 Day 117

I've always enjoyed taking pictures; especially while travelling. Today's Project 3.6.5. picture is of some of my framed prints that I took several years ago. They're hanging above my couch and each time I look at them I am instantly transported back to another time and place.

Project 365 Day 116

In case you don't live in Vancouver and can't hear the cars honking and the screaming on the streets, the Canucks won the hockey game and the series tonight!! I know it's only round 1, but the main point is that we BEAT CHICAGO!!! On to Nashville next!
Today's Project 3.6.5. picture was taken just after tonight's game... on to round 2!!
GO CANUCKS GO!!!

Project 365 Day 115

There is a bike set up in my living room right now. I'm not complaining though.
It's set up so my roommate, Danielle can train for her Ride to Conquer Cancer. Check out her page and feel free to make a donation.
This is today's Project 3.6.5. picture.

Project 365 Day 114

Yes, it's another picture of my nephews. Yes, it's another picture of my nephews in their Canucks jerseys. We watched the game tonight at my parents' house before, during, and after an amazing Easter dinner. Yes, that is Nolan navigating the iPad like an expert with Beckett looking on.

It was a great game; well played but very stressful. The outcome was exactly the opposite of what we would have wanted and now we have to play in game 7 on Tuesday night. I swear I'm going to have an ulcer by then.

I still love my Canucks and I still believe in them, but a Game 7 situation is definitely what I did not want.

My fingers are crossed! GO CANUCKS GO!!!

Project 365 Day 113

Today was my friend Dahn's birthday. We went for an intimate dinner at Campagnolo on Main Street. The food was amazing and the wine was flowing. Today's Project 3.6.5. picture is Dahn giving a kiss to her brother, Jade with me looking on longingly.

Project 365 Day 111

Well, it certainly wasn't the outcome we wanted tonight. But we have to have faith: we are still up 3-2 in the series.
This Project 3.6.5. Picture of my roommate Danielle and myself, (and someone else that highjacked the pic), was taken before we had given up hope for the game.
Next game is on Sunday. I Still Believe. Go Canucks Go!!!

Project 365 Day 110

It was 4:20 today at the Vancouver Art Gallery. It may not be my thing, but it looked like everyone was having fun. And eating lots of munchies.
This is today's Project 3.6.5. Picture.

Project 365 Day 109

So I took this Project 3.6.5. Picture today before tonight's highly unsuccessful Canucks game against Chicago. Below the Belt on Robson Street just got these vintage Canucks t-shirts in today... I should pick one up before game 5 on Thursday.

Project 365 Day 107

Game 3 tonight and the Canucks won again!!
Beckett and Nolan were very excited too, but Beckett was especially excited because he tried salsa for the first time tonight and actually liked it.
Today's Project 3.6.5. Picture is of the boys enjoying some game-time snacks.

I'm so happy that I got to meet up with one of my favourite people today!
Trevor recently moved to Toronto, and was just in town for a few days, but was able to squeeze in a quick visit with me while he was here.
T & T is today's Project 3.6.5. Picture!

Project 365 Day 99

The reasons I didn't want to post another plant/flower picture today:
  1. I've already posted two this week.
  2. I don't want to be THAT lady. Crazy lady that only posts pics of her flowers.
  3. Plants and flowers can be rather boring.
The reasons I did post another plant/flower picture today:
  1. It's the only picture I took today.
  2. Taking pictures of plant and flowers is easier than kids; they don't move and I can practice working on Depth of Field.
  3. It's a follow-up picture to the one I took on February 6; the flowers have died, but there is a new shoot that I just noticed today.
  4. Plants and flowers can be rather exciting.
Enjoy today's Project 3.6.5. Picture.

Project 365 Day 98

Just discovered this plant/flower on my deck this evening. I have no idea what it is, but I liked that it looked so different. Not necessarily pretty, but unique.
It's today's Project 3.6.5. Picture.

Project 365 Day 97

This parking meter was dug up and placed in the middle of the sidewalk on Robson Street today. I thought it would make an interesting Project 3.6.5. Picture.
Enjoy.

Project 365 Day 96

My home town.
My favourite city.
Vancouver turned 125 today.
Last year on this date I posted a Vancouver Then and Now Blog. This year, I walked down to the Olympic Cauldron and checked out the scene as they were setting up for the celebration this evening. It was a gorgeous spring day... a little crisp, but the sun was out and that's all that really mattered. A perfect day for today's Project 3.6.5. Picture.
Happy Birthday Vancouver!!!

Another rainy night in Vancouver... I liked the way the rain looked on the windshield of the car this evening and made it my Project 3.6.5. Picture. That's all.

Project 365 Day 94

In case you didn't know, it rains in Vancouver. A lot.
It can be depressing, but it does help the city become very green.
I took this Project 3.6.5. Picture this evening on my deck. I was so excited to see my tulips finally starting to bloom. April Showers, May Flowers, yada, yada, yada...

Project 365 Day 91

It's not the best picture ever in terms of composition, but it's the only picture I took today. Last night, the Vancouver Canucks clinched the Presidents' Trophy for the first time in their history. Today's Project 3.6.5. Picture is of the New Canucks Team Store on Robson and Granville.
