Owning a Ranch in Vancouver?

You know you're rich when owning a yacht is nothing.  How about owning race horses..... on a ranch......in the middle of the city? That's exactly what Southlands area of Vancouver is all about.  As you drive through this community, just 15 minutes from downtown, it feels more like you're way out in the country side.   Horses trotting down the street as Bentley's and Ferrari's dodge them is a normal sight here.  Some of these multi-acre estates even have a separate cottage for the horse handlers to live in while they take care of their prize race horses. 

Who labels Hardwood Floors?

As I was ripping up some old floors in an old 70-80 year old apartment building, I noticed the MADE IN USA label along the bottom of each and every board I pulled up.  It just made me think of when we buy shoes or any leather made goods, we often look to see where it's made, thinking (or knowing) that it's better because it's from a particular country of origin.  I just thought it was odd that the floors also were labeled, albeit face down for no one to see......until now......

You know when you're in a real Japanese Restaurant when...

....you order Robster Tempura Roll instead of Lobster Tempura Roll.....food is awesome at Sushi Kimura. The robster is most excellent.  Try it with the biru (beer).

Professional Dog Walker

I barely got this shot off with my iphone. It's not quick on the draw for shooting such impromptu moments, thus the picture is a bit blurry. Is it me, or should he have more plastic bags? I think I counted 9 dogs...... there is actually a professional dog walk walker's association. Check it out here.

Old Back Road Gas Station?

This picture looks like it was taken in the 1970's, and when I took it, I sure felt like I was back in the 70's. But it was taken today, and it wasn't too far out from Vancouver. Marine Drive in West Vancouver, near Horseshoe Bay. Cool car, and you gotta love that 76 logo......

Telephone Pole Poster Art

Is it commercial art? Is it graffiti advertising? Is it pop culture? Can't it be all three? I personally find that it adds flavor to a boring yet functional public structure.......

English Bay Beach

I love Vancouver summers. It's light outside until 10pm! This picture was taken at about 8:30pm from the patio of The Boathouse Restaurant. Nice.......

Bush versus Fence

I'm still trying to figure out how this person did this....any ideas? Anyone?

Friendly Dogs

The little guy may look a little snobby, but was actually really friendly. I think he was just staring down someone who just called him Tinkerbell......

Shoe Portraits

The wives didn't know I stole this shot as we waited to cross the street. Thanks girls......


Nice shoes and man bag Josh! Thanks for posing......
