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.
Jeannine Bergers Everett
I love your beautiful pictures. I wish you could teach me about photography. *sigh*
Veronica
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.
Esther Bradley-deTally
V: how is it you have 2 places to live-family in England, other family in Vancouver; sounds great!
Veronica
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?
Sara V
Oh, I reallllly like that! Illumination is a wonderful thing π Welcome back to the states!!
Veronica
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.
Linda G Hatton
Lovely! I hope you recover from your jet lag soon!
Veronica
Hi Linda, I’ll be as right as rain in a day or two…or three! LOL
Carol Early Cooney
Welcome back to your this side of the world home! I love the little round “O”‘s for the mouth.
Veronica
Hi Carol! Thank you so much. It’s nice to be in the great Pacific Northwest again. π

You have a very lovely blog, and photos, Veronica.
Veronica
Thank you Victoria, very sweet of you to say so. π
Raina
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.
Veronica
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. π
