I dont know where to start, it just feels like I am all new again in creating & posting new blogs, I have shelved all my projects, photography and other hobbies I had. I have been sick in the last two years with a knee injury, I had difficulty walking and imprisoned in my own home, I did a few of my hobby making beaded jewelries ( from earrings, necklace, & bracelets), read books, watched faved movies, a few camping trips & a few limited travels. I am feeling better after I had a knee arthroscopy albeit I am still limited in movement because of arthritis & high uric acid which produces gouty arthritis, not fun at all.

I gave it a shot to go sandbar fishing which doesn't involved a lot of moving, just cast & wait for the fish to bite, sit & relax & enjoyed the summer. I caught a quite a few coho salmon, a few chum and enjoyed making smoke salmon & my SALMON CAKE, bursting into savoury, mouth watering, & just the right spice flavour perfect with the LEMON AIOLI sauce. My family said it was a hit, yummy!!! I am sharing a few of my photos & a recipe just for you. Let me know once you've tried my recipe & drop me a line. Enjoy & have fun cooking.

Pour Jenevieve - Wedding Inspirations

I have shelved my RAW images and photography for a while, not abandoned it as it is always in my heart. I love photography more than ever, this gave me the chance to express a lot of things, both emotionally, mentally and intellectually. I`ve taken a few shot of my daughter-in-laws wedding day and inspirations, unsure of what I will feel or what to see & what to expect. I don`t usually do weddings or events, I am more of the nature, food enthusiast or flora & macro shutterbug. I hope my passion continues so that I am able to share my same interest with you. I have shelved my writings too, hopefuls that soon I will be inspired again. I hope I made this one special for my son & his wife, this is just one of the many pictures I have of your special day. To Robbie & Jen, wishing you a happy life all through out. Cheers

Today everything exist ~

“Today everything exists to end in a photograph.”
― Susan Sontag

Among the thorns comes a beautiful flower ~

Oh burn me with your beauty then, among the thorns comes a beautiful flower. What a beauty even a littlest cactus can bring. To see it's colour is so splendid, every flower in spring seems to be the highlight of the season, it's rebirth after all. Another pulchritude! Fire's of Spring.
My artsy interpretation, as elucid as I can bring.

Come gentle spring ~

Not a huge fan of textures but Spring made me do it. I haven't been also in the greatest mood to write poetically nor have time to do any of my creative writings. For now I am going to be contented with the wordings that I have. As pulchritude as can be. Happy week-end to all.

Greeting of the sun, lure of April days

The weather has been getting milder, albeit the rain comes on & off, it's Vancouver can't complain. On a spring day like this I feel like having my cup of seafood chowder. Greetings of the sun, lure of April days...cheers!
