A Girl's Reflections

In today’s scenes I am revisiting this time last year. I have a Photojojo Time Capsule account. Once monthly it emails me my photos from “this time” a year ago.

Travel down memory lane with me, up the mountain.

Don’t forget your snowshoes

The Vancouver Olympic Cauldron is located on Jack Poole Plaza, adjacent to the Vancouver Convention Centre.

The plaza is named after Jack Poole, who was the head of the VANOC bid committee responsible for bringing the 2010 Winter Olympic to Vancouver, Canada. He died of pancreatic cancer on October 23, 2009, hours after the Olympic Flame was lit at the beginning of the 2010 Olympics torch relay

The distinctive glassy (icy) structure is now a permanent fixture and has been lit a few times since the closing ceremony of the 2010 Olympic Winter Olympic.

It is going to be a long winter. I am not sure when the transition happened, did we even have summer? Where did the long days of summer go?

The sun sets early these days it gets dark before 5pm. Plus it seems the cold weather crept up on me.

I have been looking at summer pictures hoping by some miracle I will be transported back to August.

I saw my very first inuksuk when we first moved to Vancouver in 2002. I understand the word means “to act in the capacity of a human”

Historically they are stone figures built by the Inuit people. An inuksuk was used as the emblem of Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics and the one pictured below was built in Whistler BC for the winter Olympics.
