The Pond

The pond is grand and glamorous with a touch of country charm.

Swans glide about the water, while geese fly overhead.

Ducklings waddle in and out.

Fountains flow in fancy backyards.

I can’t even imagine living here.

Have a lovely weekend. I plan on getting in some sunshine. Oh, yes.

Wandering Neighbourhoods: Suburban Magnolias

Rather than sharing a well known Vancouver area, this week I have been photographing a more suburban walk. I have been doing a lot of wandering around the streets gazing at the beautiful Springtime colours that have popped up in suburban gardens.

The cherry blossoms arrived early but right now the magnolia trees are blooming all over the place creating dotterings of pink and white. I love their floppy petals which seem to droop like bunny ears.

Finally some warm weather for this chilled to the bone Australian. Aren’t these lovely beginning days of a season just filled with joy and hope for a happy time ahead?

Wandering Neighbourhoods: Broadway

Wandering Neighbourhoods seems to be a recurring theme here on Mocking Bird and I quite love doing it with my camera so I think it’s going to be a regular feature.

Kitsilano is one area that I venture to quite a bit in my wanderings around town as it’s full of great restaurants and quirky shops. These shots were all taken on Broadway on a lazy Sunday afternoon walk with my Sean.

Taste testing coffee places, savouring the fresh bread smells wofting through the air and accidently focusing on your love and not the store front you were trying to, make for happy weekend strolls.

Have you been on any photo walks of late?

p.s. I think I subconsciously focused on him and not the globe. =D
