Today's Flowers

We went to a friend's place last night for a barbeque and farewell party to two friends who are moving soon to the interior. My friend lives on the outskirts of town and has a beautiful garden. I took a lot of pictures, here are a few for Today's Flowers. Her patio was decked out with a huge basket of Wave Petunias.

The last of the year's Lilacs.

Plants of the edible kind. Here are flowering Chives.

Watery Wednesday

Today's post comes from Notombi Gardens located on the University of British Columbia Endowment grounds. This is a little oasis in the middle of the university. Very peaceful and serene.

Click on each picture to get the full effect!!

There were quite a few little bridges spanning over the meandering waters. Benches to sit and contemplate. Lots of Koi fish in the water as well to watch.

THE SIMPLE WOMAN'S DAYBOOK.

For Today...

Outside my window...The last of the day light is fading, its warm though and muggy out.

I am thinking... What a great day I had exploring the zoo today, all the fresh air and friends to spend it with...

From the kitchen... Finished cleaning up after supper, homemade Corn Chowder with Shrimp! Yum!!

I am wearing... Blue Yoga Pants, a tank top and white socks.

I am reading... A few Digital Photography Magazines I borrowed from the library.

I am hoping... We fly through our Accreditation process at work with flying colours.

I am creating... Another blog post for my blog of course!!

Around the house... The cat is sleeping on the couch and hubby is working on his business plan. I am trying to be quiet and not disturb his thoughts!

One of my favorite things... Taking pictures, figuring out more about my camera lately!

A few plans for the rest of the week...Making it through the work week and waiting on the weekend!!

A picture I would like to share.... was taken today on our visit to the Vancouver Zoo. This is a picture of the baby Giraffe, I just loved his shy look and his long eyelashes!!

I forgot to add it before starting this so I know it will go to the top of the post. I guess I am backwards this week!!

Today's Flowers

A few pictures courtesy of my neighbour's garden taken yesterday. As we sat visiting in the back and having a glass of wine, I found a few things to take pictures of! Solomon's Seal.

A couple of roses from her birthday bouquet!

Skywatch Friday

Here is a straight out of the camera shot of the Northshore mountains taken from the back of the Museum of Anthropology in Vancouver today. There were alot of tourists here today celebrating Graduation. The Museum is located on the University of British Columbia Endowment grounds and today was Graduation!! We didn't know before we got there so it ended up being a somewhat hard day to take pictures if you minded having other people in your shots.
