A new day, a new country, illumination

Yesterday morning I woke up in my English home.
This morning I woke up in my Vancouver home.

I threw the curtains open and the first oblique rays of the winter sun hit the mantelpiece and this little gift from a visiting Japanese student.

Hello Mr and Mrs Oshiawase Ni, welcome to Vancouver.

Thought about and photographed for the WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge: Illumination.

  1. I love your beautiful pictures. I wish you could teach me about photography. *sigh*

  2. V: how is it you have 2 places to live-family in England, other family in Vancouver; sounds great!

  3. Oh, I reallllly like that! Illumination is a wonderful thing :-) Welcome back to the states!!

  4. Lovely! I hope you recover from your jet lag soon!

  5. Welcome back to your this side of the world home! I love the little round “O”‘s for the mouth.

  6. Hi Carol! Thank you so much. It’s nice to be in the great Pacific Northwest again. :)

  7. Hi Linda, I’ll be as right as rain in a day or two…or three! LOL

  8. Thank you so much Sara! Funny, last time…I think July, WordPress had Luminous as a challenge and I wrote about getting it thru my thick brain that I actually can unfriend nasty people. I was just thinking how nice it is to be able to concentrate on peace and light instead.

  9. I know Esther…but what’s going to happen when I buy that houseboat on the Seine that I keep threatening to buy? How will I ever keep track of myself?

  10. Thank you Jeannine, you’re such a sweetie. I’d love to teach you everything I know about photography, (which isn’t all that much really). Just ask me anything you like.

  11. Welcome back. Did you bring the sunshine?

  12. Hi Carla. :) Er, yeah, yeah, that was me!

  13. Lovely!

  17. Hello kz, my eclectic, eccentric, shopaholic friend. Thank you for stopping by. :)

  18. Welcome to Vancouver!!! It is going to be a chilly one for sure today. But love the sunshine we are getting. Thank you for visiting me ! Enjoy your weekend.

  19. You have a very lovely blog, and photos, Veronica.

  20. Thank you Victoria, very sweet of you to say so. :)

  21. Hello Koralee, it’s chilly that’s for sure! We always get these lovely, sunny January days, don’t we? Are you in/around Vancouver? I’m in North Vancouver. Loving your lovely pinkness on your blog these days; it’s like fresh cherry blossoms. :)

  22. Hey, welcome back to Canada! Things are cold and snowy in Calgary today. Try the 2 minute meditating thing…after two weeks I am still doing it…total miracle as I typically cannot sit for that long and suffer from busy brain.

  23. Nice Raina! I usually forget to meditate daily and then, when I need to, it’s all stressy, stressy and I have to calm my brain down first. I’ll go with the daily 2 minutes for the next few days. :)
