Introducing Fred on Flickr.Via Flickr:
Nyana goes way back. The Emperor’s oldest friend, they even had a date on their first Christmas, the first time either of them had seen another kid.
Here she is, introducing her new baby brother Fred, just seven days old at this point. They’re already pretty tight.

Everything but the Sombrero on Flickr.Via Flickr:
Yet another (recently) empty shop in Chinatown. Nary a thing left from a business that had been there since at least the late 80’s (when I first visited Chinatown) but for the sombrero.

Strathcona Labyrinth. Seen on a Vancouver 4/3’s group wander through Chinatown and Strathcona with Eric on June 30th, the last day of January 2012. 
Sadly, a little rain scared everyone else off so it was just Eric and I but, (damp) fun was had nonetheless.

First dip into the ocean on Flickr.Via Flickr:
While he’s spent a lot of time at the beach, We kept Trajan away from the chilly waters off Vancouver last year. Now that he’s a big boy, no worries so, he went for his first tenative dip into the wet last night at Third Beach in Stanley Park.
Shooting directly into the sun with the Horizon creates some seriously strange flare as the lens swings across the frame. I think with some practise, it could produce some interesting effects. Or not. :P

The Horizon is fun vertical too. 
That is not Trajan’s stroller parked outside Funky Winkerbean’s though, I must make very clear. If we’re going to nip into the pub for a pint or two, we make sure to give a hobo a toonie to watch him!
(just kidding, of course. If we want to nip out for a pint, Grandma’s always at the ready to babysit!)

Stripped of most of it’s copper in 1997 the penny has been discontinued by Emperor Severus, er Prime Minister Harper and, it’s big brother’s the Loonie and Toonie have now been debased to but a shadow of their former selves as well, requiring the recalibration of every vending machine in the country.
This enterprising penny* isn’t taking things lying down, gathering up his brethren to mount an all out counter-attack against the indignities being inflicted on Canadian Coinage.
*Actually, he was gathering donations for three very worthy charities as part of the Penny Party. You might as well give them your pennies, darn things have hardly any copper in them anymore.

"There was once a word used---swing. Swing went in one direction, it was linear, and everything had to be played with an obvious pulse and that's very restrictive. But I use the term 'rotary perception.' If you get a mental picture of the beat existing within a circle, you're more free to improvise. People used to think the notes had to fall on the center of the beats in the bar at intervals like a metronome, with three or four men in the rhythm section accenting the same pulse. That's like parade music or dance music. But imagine a circle surrounding each beat-each guy can play his notes anywhere in that circle, and it gives him a feeling he has more space. The notes fall anywhere inside the circle, but the original feeling for the beat isn't changed. If one in the group loses confidence, somebody hits the beat again. The pulse is inside you. When you're playing with musicians who think this way you can do anything. Anybody can stop and let the others go on. It's called strolling…."
