simple things
I always have a camera in my bag (well, two if you count my phone)…but these are the results of actually taking a camera out of my bag! Work has been a little stressful, and as an antidote to that stress, I’ve been taking more pictures, and thinking about why I started my blog so…

just some pretty spring flowers

everybody is not special
More Royal Street window shopping at night….this caught my eye in the window at the Antieau Gallery, it’s from the Monsters and Misfortune Collection and the artist is Chris Roberts-Antieau.

a reminder to tip street performers…
…or one might give you the finger! I laughed when I saw this after uploading all my pics from the trip – I had no idea he was giving me the finger when I took it. I was just walking out of a restaurant, saw him, and quickly snapped the pic. He’s likely very aware…
