A beautiful morning. I had time to take a walk and refresh my love of this part of the world. I don't think I will ever stop having times like today when I pinch myself and ask, "Is this really where I live? When I was a young girl, all I ever wanted to do was leave the small town that I grew up in. The town that was and is the butt of jokes. I don't think I had too many clear goals beyond simply getting out. At university I envied all the people that came from places that people didn't laugh at (that's if they'd even heard of it). It felt like a curse. But I also wonder if I was so focused on
getting out, that I neglected to make other goals in life. So I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up, though I did get out. And I am proud that my children will always be able to say they were born and raised in Vancouver. And I cannot ever get tired of a views like this:

| The view from an exclusive Point Grey street... |
I discovered some beautiful places while I walked around Point Grey this morning. I will go back there with the Canon DSLR and see if I can get some interesting shots. Even the back alleyways have stunning views (over-exposed, I know).
And from the roof; cold, but beautiful.

I have location envy. I always have had the hankering for somewhere else, noting to do with living somewhere where the name is 15 letters long. I wonder if it is one of those inbuilt things to want to explore - you either have it or you don't. Most do not do anything about it. You did, and boy you made a great choice. Glad you are enjoying it. Also sounds as if you have cought a socialising bug. I find they always hit in January!
Lot of love

Wow, reminds me why we're here - beautiful shots. I'm envious you got to enjoy that walk and the views while I was stuck in a meeting for 4 hours :-(
