One Beautiful Thing ~ Sixteen

Whimsy in downtown Calgary...

One Beautiful Thing ~ Fifteen

There's a magic that happens when the sun spills her light down upon rain drenched grass....



One Beautiful Thing ~ Fourteen

Believing in the magic of dandelions...close your eyes...

Make a wish....and blow...

One Beautiful Thing ~ Thirteen

Because I'm having a love affair with this song. Because it's an instant dose of happiness. Because it's like bottled summer. Because Steven Tyler is a beautiful thing, dammit!



One Beautiful Thing ~ Twelve

"Pink, it was love at first sight..." ~ Aerosmith



One Beautiful Thing ~ Eleven (Fog)

Today was the first sunny day in weeks. For real. It's like we have been living in Vancouver with none of the perks. Not cool. So today, as if by magic, I was off early and the sun was shining. It was warm. My spirits, which have been gloomy, lifted and I told my kid we were heading to the beach.

Yeah, it was sunny. On one side. On the other a beautiful fog bank rolled in coating the beach in a drifting white mist. A huge eagle soared overhead..the seagulls were lost in the white skies and the sandbar was exposed.

Conlan ran ahead...."take a pic of me in the mist...hopefully crazy Stephen King creatures won't swoop down and kill me!"

*Whew*

We survived.
