269. Weekend Reflections

This is like the distorting mirrors in a fair.  My image appears twice, above and below the line.

My husband and I went to the hardware store in Richmond, BC to buy a ballast for a neon light fixture.  I looked across the parking lot and the subject for Weekend Reflections was right across the street next to the ICBC, the car insurance claims centre.

Here my image is shown standing on a plastic barrier thingy taking the photo

How about these reflections?  What do you suppose this is?

Scroll down and the shiny object will be revealed

221. S is for spot prawn, salmon, sashimi and Scotch eggs

Wild BC Spot Prawns are in season!

Steamed spot prawns with aïoli

Sashimi with wild BC salmon

Spot prawns and salmon are British Columbia delicacies.  Japanese food, especially Sushi and Sashimi,  has almost become the native food of Vancouverites.


S is for suphos and slymultu - these are created by word verification!  How about using these two words in a sentence!

Scotch eggs - one of my favourite ways of cooking eggs

S is for Sylvia

English Ivy, Hedera helix

Here in Vancouver, English ivy is a very invasive plant and a serious threat in the garden.

122. Rednesday

Minimalist decoration in a jeweller's window

Red is the lucky colour for Chinese New Year.  Here are a couple of shop windows decorated with good luck red symbols.

Shop selling  "intelligent" toilets - despite the red decorations, a celebratory, festive feeling is quite lacking

These are chocolates, not fire-crackers
