I’m a Little Bit Country…

July 7, 2012 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Last night I had this moment of pure love for my hometown. I was sitting in the backseat while my friends and I soared down the back country roads at dusk. The windows were down, the wind slamming into our faces and making a storm out of my hair. The smell of wildflowers temporarily forcing me to forget any longing I had for city life. If this sounds like the beginning to a country song, it pretty much is. Rascal […]

Canada Day Bonus

July 2, 2012 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Kinda like how Canadians are getting an extra holiday today, even though Canada Day was yesterday, I’m posting a little bonus to follow up yesterday’s doodledrop. The photo is of Barrie, Ontario’s patriotic celebrations down by the bay, (where the watermelons grow…) What did you all get up to this July 1st? In my Canada Day post this year I noted a few popular Canadian artists. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention our latest international sensation, Carly Rae Jepsen. […]

HAPPY CANADA DAY!!! Man, I love this country so much. This photo was taken about eight weeks ago on the top of Blackcomb Mountain in Whistler, B.C. May skiing! How outrageous is that?! Even now you can go ski on the glacier through July. Blackcomb is a fierce mountain, take a look at the interactive map that compares the acreage to other ski resorts in North America. Anyway, people were in sundresses and shorts at the base while my friends […]

One Year, One Hundred Doodledrops

June 12, 2012 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Celebrations! Remember when we were kids, how birthday parties were always pushed to the weekend so your friends could all come over and dance the Macarena? We’re going to apply that same concept here. I took my blog public just over a year ago on June 5th, so a few days late, but regardless- let’s party like it’s 1995! Coincidentally, it also happens to be my 100th snapshot and needle drop (or “doodledrop”) posted! The term doodledrop was coined this past […]

Rose Wine at Sunset

Vancouver Lovin’

May 26, 2012 by snapshotsandneedledrops

One year ago (less two and a half weeks) I posted about Moon Balloon and how she was floating her way across the country to brighten up the skies of Vancouver. Two weeks ago I had the pleasure of visiting her, for a second time, in her beloved new city. Three days ago it was her birthday. Happy Birthday Nams! The photo above was surreptitiously snapped of the table beside us during our beachside dinner by English Bay. Nams particularly […]

On Returning

May 16, 2012 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Hey… hi there… how’s it goin’?… Remember me? It’s not the easiest thing to start posting again after eleven weeks. My online silence has been the result of offline chaos. There’s been a lot on my plate this spring, but I’m slowly but surely pulling everything together again and I hope to soon be back in a regular posting rhythm. My busy life has also left little time for music foraging. The stuff I have managed to listen to this season has […]

Blurry Vancouver Lights at night

It’s a Force Field

March 4, 2012 by snapshotsandneedledrops

This song is slowly creeping its way into my favour. Anyone else unable to get it out of their heads? Tomorrow it will move to first place on my running playlist. This photo, taken from Granville Island after a seafood dinner with some of the greatest company one could ever ask for, is of light worms invading Vancouver. Watch out. “Feel So Close” by Calvin Harris

Parisian Catacomb Skulls

Beast

February 24, 2012 by snapshotsandneedledrops

Last November I finally made it down into the Paris catacombs! They’re one of the only ‘must-see’ sights that had been missing from my list of Parisan adventures. My good friend Kin and I ventured down the 130 steps of their spiral staircase to arrive, dizzy, under the cobblestones and cafés of La Ville-Lumière. We walked through the tunnel system, which was initially created for mining limestone. We walked along the passageways mentioned in Les Misérables, by chambers where 19th century Monachists had […]

The Main

February 19, 2012 by snapshotsandneedledrops

The Main is the nickname for boulevard Saint Laurent in Montréal. This street is the heartline from which everything stems from in the city. You are either west or east of Saint Laurent, and historically it was also the unofficial demarkation between English or French. This 18th century road has been referred to as “The Main” for hundreds of years, as it was the principle path up through the city from the old port. This fact is according to Shwartz’s, […]
