food, photography and my creative life
The Okanagan Valley is a special place in BC – I think it has a little bit of magic surrounding it. In summer and early fall, it becomes the fruit basket and wine glass of Canada.

One of my favourite places to go in Vancouver is Granville Island. It rides a fine line between being a tourist trap and being a well loved local institution.

Last weekend, I needed to escape. I really didn’t care where or how or with who, if anyone. I don’t remember the last time I had a full day off from work.
