Hornby 2011

HORNBY HORNBY HORNBY!

I'm headed off to Hornby Island tomorrow morning for 6 days. So yeah... bit of a continued hiatus on the blogging front. OH WELL. Here is why it is acceptable:

PRETTY STUFF YAY! I haven't started packing yet. Leaving in 9 hours. Going to sleep now. SEE YOU LATER INTERNET.

Finally, with the unexpected arrival of the year's first sunburn, it appears that May-tober is finally over! The weather's been lovely, and I've spent hours just sitting in the sun (with sunscreen, of course), soaking it in. At last, I'm really excited for summer.

Unrelated, I found this photo on my computer today. It was taken on Hornby Island last summer. It's cropped from a bigger picture, but I like it because I caught this guy in an almost perfect pose, completely by accident.

Creepy? No...

Back in Vancouver!... Temporarily.

So, I just got back from a week away at my favorite place in the world, where I was busy reuniting with family I haven't seen for most of my life, spending time on the beach, and absorbing lots of music. Oh, and taking pictures. So many pictures. It was probably (no, definitely) the best Hornby experience ever, and I've had a lot. I'm off to Vernon tomorrow for a while for my cousins wedding, but I'll leave with a play list, "Hornby 2010".
Jasper- Aidan Knight with Dan Mangan (Most catchy chorus ever)
Sigh No More- Mumford & Sons (give it some time to get better and more intense)
Fake Plastic Trees- Radiohead (Always a classic)
Look At Miss Ohio- Gillian Welch (I couldn't find a non-live version)
Tik-Tok- Ke$ha (I'm not saying it's good..)
Sexy Chick- David Guetta (Fist Pumpin')
False Creek Change- Said The Whale (Again, only a live version)



So many pictures, but I think this is one of my favorites. (with my new lens! That I have used quite a bit, and am totally happy with)

brb, hornby time

Seventeen hours til I'm back here. I could not be more stoked.



And because I'm going to be away for the next week or two, here is my new favorite-ish song, to leave on a high note. It's groovy and wonderful in so many ways.
The Car Song, by The Cat Empire

cool, eh?
