You’d think nothing could surprise me in this beautiful city I’ve loved and cherished for years. I thought I’d seen everything, sort of, but a walk along the seawall in False Creek over the weekend really took my breath away. I can’t stop thinking about it.

His name is Robert Blehert and he lives and works in Seattle. When I visited his website I was surprised at how diverse his art is. His [...]

Her portraits were quirky and emotionally stunning and I fell hard for her artsy/folksy style. She now goes by her real name, Laurie Meseroll, and I see she’s still [...]

A few girlfriends and I popped down to Seattle for a day of retail therapy and urban social interactive exploration (and a couple of free cabins on the Pacific Princess 0ne-night cruise back to Vancouver, thanks to our travel agent friends!)
