The beginning of the end of 2007

Out of the bag & onto the plate

Happy Birthday to Me!

T H E E N D O F A N E R A

One week from today - on my 44th birthday -
my 'career' at Aeon will come to a close.
It was not my choice to 'retire', nevertheless,
I will be retired from the company.

Good thing I didn't buy a house like I had planned!

Heading into the Year of Rat without a job,
what kind of year should lay ahead?
Stay in China til March as planned?
Where should I seek work?
Return to Vancouver?
Go to Japan?

Watching over English Bay

Bad puppy?
Good puppy?

On the way to Seattle

Not Kuro, but a fine Halloween costume indeed!

Seagulls fly beside the ferry from Whidbey Island

Taking off from the Harbour Front heliport

Kuro loves rolling in the sand
probably because she loves taking a hot bath afterwards even more

Maple water

The Lions Gate Bridge from West Vancouver

Sunrise & clouds reflected in downtown towers

Flowing clouds

The start of a perfect day

Morning walk in the rain

Taking a breather at Trout Lake

Last night looking west

This morning looking east

The days go by

Geese practising their V-formation head north

Able to see her eyes for a change

Bon voyage!

Chinese checkers
On the street in Beijing

OK

The confusion begins

Kuro can't stop jumping around!
Well, she finally did when....
...25 stories down, she got her treat.

Clouds break up over English Bay
Rain ends in time for sunset

Clouds over the Georgia Straight

Wisps of clouds over the YTP towers

Hanging out (her tongue) in between the Yaletown Park towers

Late summer sunrise

Young geese practicing their V-formations
